We were able to widely publicize our research results by reporting in academic conferences in Japan and overseas and by publishing in peer-reviewed academic journals. As a result, 45 academic papers and 5 books were written, 89 academic conference and seminar reports were made.
By producing results in eight fields ((1) Urban structure field, (2) Local financial consolidation field, (3) Subsidy field, (4) Public sector efficiency field, (5) Medical field, (6) Welfare field, (7) municipal merger field and (8) infrastructure field), we were able to provide useful information in considering the management and policy of local governments. The award of the Japan Association of Local Public Finance and the policy proposals made through international joint research with the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) and the Ministry of Finance of the Republic of South Africa are significant achievements.
