Kayo Murakami

I am an Assistant Professor at Center for Social Systems Innovation, Kobe University.

My research interests are: consumer decision-making, valuation of non-market goods, and environmental benefit transfer; applications of choice modeling with a focus on environmental and agricultural issues such as energy policy, food label, and lifecycle impact assessment.
