Analysis of Economy and Society: Collecting and Creating Data by Ourselves

Don’t you feel as if you understood everything about the world at once just by watching the TV news and the internet? However, if you actually collect data – listening to people concerned, designing questionnaires and gathering responses, and collecting opinions of people on the internet – you often find that it is completely different from what you thought. In addition to knowledge of statistics, understanding various theories such as economics, sociology, social psychology and anthropology is necessary to interpret the collected data. In Koyama Laboratory, you will learn how to look into social phenomena by learning the both methods of finding facts and interpreting data.
