Hidetaka OHARA
Professor, Department of Commerce, Meiji University
NOT Finance laboratory, but Monetary Macroeconomics section (Anti-Inflation and Anti-reflation theorist).
Class 2012:
Graduate Monetary Economic Theory(NOT finance) ;
NOTE1:
Master thesis theme is limited to MONETARY Macroeconomics including critisism to the Quantity Theory of Money,
NEVER on Finance. Seminar language is japanese only.
This laboratory is NOT on Finance nor Asset Pricing of stock prices nor foreign exchange rates,
nor Securities Analysis, nor Corporate Finance, nor Financial Institutions, nor
Contract Theory.
The following is very, very important. Applicants from abroad MUST thoroughly
search for and select the appropriate thesis supervisor professor SHIDO KYOJU 指導教授
that is the best fit for your research topic in the pinpoint.
Or you will fail in MENSETSU SHIKEN,
an oral examination in Japanese graduate entrance exam system.
And you CANNOT change thesis supervisor professor SHIDO KYOJU 指導教授
after you enter the graduate school
in japanese system.
Do not worry; of course, other professors except myself in Meiji are very good finance professors; see
Graduate School of Commerce Money and Securities section Facalty list
(sorry, Japanese web page).
And about among all japanese universities how to find the appropriate thesis supervisor professor, for example finance,
see the web link list below.
Anywhere, you should thoroughly read all Universities' Faculty web pages in the destination country.
And you must read each hypothetical supervisor professor's graduate level syllabus (lecture plan and information).
(As for Meiji's syllabus, Oh! Meiji System. click the bottom second ``Class Web'', click Guset
name: guest, pass: guest sorry, almost in Japanese only)
Be cautious that in the graduate level other than undergraduate level,
specially is very, very narrow and strict; pinpoint fitting is the most important.
NOTE2: This laboratory is especially ONLY for ACADEMIC researchers, NOT for practitioners,
the latter should go to Business School to get MBA degree!
This is an ACADEMIC Graduate School, where you cannot get MBA degree nor
you cannot be taught how to do business, that is, NEVER a Professional School or Business School.
Meiji also has the Meiji Business School
in the form of the other institution.
For you to make a venture company, WASEDA Business School, NIHON university Business School and
RIKKYO university Business School are said to have a good environment (possibility of human connections).
For more better, in the midst of Silicon Valley,
Stanford Business School and University of Berkerey Haas School of Business, the latter undergraduate level statistics,
asian students are the highest share. (To digress, most of finance professors in University of San Francisco
seem to have chinese related names).
NOTE3: And only limited to this laboratory restriction, you can get only master degee at most and you CANNOT get doctor degree
in this laboratory because of my qualification. It is of cource very difficult for you to get Master degree in this laboratory.
