(Repost) GraSPP Policy Challenge 2023 (A2 Case Study) – Information Session
GraSPP Policy Challenge (GPC) offers a unique opportunity to students from diverse background to collaborate and seek to improve their teambuilding and policy-making skills. Participants are tasked with responding to pressing real-world policy challenges as a group, and with designing policies and proposals in response to those challenges. All Master‘s students at GraSPP and/or STIG are strongly encouraged to apply. Finalist groups will be ultimately invited to present at the GPPN Annual Conference 2024 hosted by Sciences Po in Paris in February 2024. To help students better understand the objective and procedure of this course, we will hold an information session. If you are interested, please register from here. *This programme is available to Master‘s students who are currently enrolled in GraSPP and/or STIG only. Date: Tuesday, 17 October, 2023 Time: 12:15–12:50 Venue: Seminar Room A, 12F, International Academic Research Bldg.

Internship: Procedures for Registration and Application for Course credits for Internship / インターンシップの履修登録及び単位認定の手続きについて
Internship: Procedures for Registration and Application for Course credits for Internship The following states the procedures for the registration and application for one credit for Practical Training Course “Internship” (Course code: 5139000): Students who are going to do an internship for one week or more at public policy related organizations such as government agencies, municipal bodies, NPO or private institutions can register the “Internship” and apply for one credit. Students can register the “Internship” and apply for one credit anytime at the Graduate School Office. At least one week before the start of the internship, get approval from an academic instructor and submit “Internship Application Form” with his/her signature or stamp to the GraSPP Graduate School Office. Within one week after the completion of the internship, ask the academic instructor to evaluate “Internship Report Form”. After the evaluation, submit the report with the academic instructor’s signature or stamp to the GraSPP Graduate School Office. * As for the academic instructor, please refer to the following “List of Academic Instructors” (excepted part-time lecturer) and contact him/her by yourself based on the content of the internship. * Students can only obtain a maximum of one credit for internship participation in the entire course of study at GraSPP.

Prof. Ryo Kato
From October this year, I will teach a course titled “Mathematics for Public Policy.” From 2019 to 2021, I taught courses including Financial Markets and Institutions and Macroeconomics for Public Policy. In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, educational institutes throughout the world quickly rolled out online classes, and Tokyo U was no exception. I was teaching a class for first-year master’s students, and as some of the overseas students had never even stepped foot on campus, I encouraged more communication by using “Slack” which was not so prevalent at the time, placing importance on creating a sense of connection that would make students feel, “Right here, you are participating in a class at the Graduate School of Public Policy at the University of Tokyo.” This was possibly one of the reasons why in 2021, I was given a President’s Commendation for Good Practices in Online/Hybrid Classes (an award for leading indicatives in online and hybrid classes). The Mathematics for Public Policy course starting in October does not involve advanced mathematics but focuses on learning practical quantitative techniques that are actually useful for policy-making professionals. For 25 years, I practiced macroeconomics, including public policy, at institutions such as the Bank of Japan, the IMF, and the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision. During this period, most of my experience was in the field known as monetary policy. Monetary policy relates to the central bank’s control of interest rates and money for the purpose of stabilising inflation. In order to implement such policies, forecasting key economic indicators such as GDP and inflation rates is necessary to an extent. For example, Shohei Ohtani throws a ball toward the catcher. There are 0.4 seconds left until the home base is reached. If you have taken a math course like mine, you have a good command of Newtonian mechanics, so if you know the initial speed and direction in which Ohtani throws the ball, you can predict the location and speed of the ball in 0.4 seconds’ time. In the same way, using differential calculus (which is basically Newtonian mechanics), a policymaker can forecast – with reasonably minor errors – what the GDP or inflation rate will look like in a year’s time. I am not saying that we can foretell on what day and time every rare disaster will take place. We all knew that any prior economic forecasts needed to be revised entirely after facing the COVID-19 pandemic or the war in Ukraine. I am saying that foretelling the date and time you get infected by COVID-19 may not be the top priority for many of us. We are more interested in how to improve our immune system to make a resilient body. In the similar context of rare disasters, it can be more productive to focus on learning how to build a resilient house rather than foretelling the time and date when your house will be hit by a typhoon. This is this loss-minimization method that we are more focused on, and here too we find mathematics extremely helpful. When I was a student 30 years ago, I never considered a profession related to mathematics; in fact I thought maths was a boring subject when I was exploring my career. However, one day an economics professor said quietly in class, “We now take the total derivative around the equilibrium of the IS-LM model” (an analytical method in macroeconomics) and began to use the linearisation method. This made me realise that even without knowing the entire detail of the economic model – in other words, the whole of the real world – it is possible to forecast what will happen when changing any policy variable. That’s when I thought to myself, “Without a doubt, maths is helpful.” I am not a mathematician, but simply a user of maths. In that sense, I’m in the same position as everybody else taking my classes. For this reason, I am able to discuss the use and universal applicability of mathematics in real-world practice. Through this course, I hope everyone can find their own comfortable relationship with mathematics.
