CHARLES YUJI HORIOKA

 

BRIEF BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH: Charles Yuji Horioka was born in Boston, Massachusetts, U.S.A., in 1956 and received his B.A. and Ph.D. degrees from Harvard University.  He taught at Stanford, Columbia, and Kyoto Universities before assuming his present position as professor of economics at the Institute of Social and Economic Research, Osaka University.  In 2001, he was awarded the Seventh Japanese Economic Association/Nakahara Prize (the Japanese equivalent of the American Economic Association’s John Bates Clark Medal), which is given annually to the most outstanding Japanese economist aged 45 or younger, and he ranks fourth among economists living in Japan according to RePEc (Research Papers in Economics) and about 15th among all Japanese economists in terms of numbers of citations.  His specialties are macroeconomics and the Japanese economy, and he has written about one hundred scholarly articles on household saving, consumption, bequest, and co-residence behavior and parent-child relations in Japan, the United States, China, and India.  His path-breaking article on the so-called “Feldstein-Horioka paradox” (written jointly with Martin Feldstein) was published when he was only 23 and is one of the most widely cited papers in international finance.  Horioka is Co-Editor of the International Economic Review and on the Editorial Boards of several other journals, and he is a Research Associate of the National Bureau of Economic Research, Inc., and of the Center for Japan-U.S. Business and Economic Studies, Leonard N. Stern School of Business, New York University.
