    【受付中】 Ms Yimeng Zhang (Kyoto University): Less is more: media regulation, news coverage quality and corporate governance This paper investigates how a major media regulatory reform in China—the revocation and merger of local reporter stations affiliated with central media outlets—affects news coverage quality and corporate governance. Using a unique dataset of corporate news articles and based on a difference-in-differences approach, we find that the reform significantly promotes news coverage quality, as reflected by reduced optimistic tone bias. The effects are more pronounced for firms located geographically distant, in regions with weaker media competition, for less socially responsive newspapers, as well as... APLセミナー 開催日:2026.06.18

    【受付中】 Dr Nurillaev Karamat Maratovich (Hokkaido University): Robot Adoption and International Trade: Implications for Developing Economies Industrial robots are typically viewed as technology for labor-scarce advanced economies, and their relevance for developing countries is often questioned. Departing from this perspective, this paper examines the effect of robot adoption on export structure in 33 developing economies across 15 manufacturing sectors between 2005 and 2020. The empirical analysis combines industry-level bilateral trade flows from OECD input-output tables with data on robot adoption from the International Federation of Robotics. To address endogeneity, the study employs PPML estimation with an instrumental variabl... APLセミナー 開催日:2026.05.14
