KOHEI HOJO

I study at University of Nottingham and major in MSc international economics. As I acquired analytical skills and learnt state-of-the-art methodologies, I became to think I would like to work as an analyst or economist. Also, I am a great team player, which I gained from baseball club activities in high school. It is known as the hardest practice in Japan. Even I couldn’t become a bench member for the last tournament, I contributed a lot by analysing potential opponents for my team. 

I don’t have full time work experience, but I have acquired some skills from undergraduate and postgraduate studies. 

I studied MSc international economics at University of Nottingham. I also chose to take development economics as elective classes. In my postgraduate study, I deepened my understanding of international economics and evaluation of public policies. By reading many latest and good papers, I became to obtain knowledge about methodologies and skill of attention to detail. I am working on my dissertation whose topic is the impact of ASEAN free trade agreement on trade flows and its heterogeneous effects through bilateral characteristics.
