Welfare state and natives’ preferences for immigrants’ types
When natives realize that their country’s welfare system includes immigrants, they may prefer high-income immigrants to low-income ones because the former will contribute more to the system because of its redistributive nature. We examine this causal effect using a novel survey experiment. In the experiment, we randomly assign half of the respondents to receive information designed to increase their perception that the national healthcare insuran…
Self-benefits, fiscal risk, and political support for the public healthcare system
The rapid aging of the population has become increasingly challenging for public healthcare systems. To ensure sustainability, governments must persuade their citizens to accept a larger burden, which is a difficult task. This study explored whether informing individuals of self-benefits from the healthcare system could be a solution. We first constructed a two-period overlapping generations model and hypothesized that doing so could facilitate p…
Generational differences in economic perceptions
Historical institutionalists have long argued that major events can shape long-term economic perceptions, but the identification of birth-cohort differences has been stymied by methodological difficulties, notably the APC problem. Taking advantage of unique Japanese data and tailored Bayesian modeling, we identify cohort effects in economic perceptions and show that they follow objective macroeconomic trends countercyclically. Cohorts whose forma…
Overconfidence, income-ability gap, and preferences for income equality
Elite mobility and continuity during a regime change
How does a regime change influence elite mobility? By collecting data on elites after the Meiji Restoration in Japan in 1868, through which Japan transitioned from a feudal regime to a modern regime, we provide new evidence that the impact of the regime change on elite mobility varies across the stages of the regime change. We analyze the impact of the regime change from two aspects: (1) the composition of elites or elite membership and (2) the i…
Party switching and policy disagreement
Under what conditions do policy disagreements cause parties to split? Before the general elections in 2017 in Japan, the Minshin , the largest opposition party, split, and the major opposition camp collapsed into three parties. Disagreement about defense policy was rapidly politicized by the founding leader of a new party, Hope. Some members were motivated to switch to Hope and split the Minshin . Why did the disagreement about defense policy, wh…
Thai tax reforms from 1992 to 2013
Taxation is considered an important reason for the persistent inequality in developing countries. Developing countries tend to rely heavily on revenue from regressive taxation on consumption, such as the value-added tax, and fail to use progressive income taxes for revenue. Thailand is a typical case of those developing countries. Scholars argue that the median voter model does not apply to the developing countries because their ineffective incom…

Alexithymic Characteristics of HIV-Positive Patients
Despite extensive psychiatric research on HIV-positive patients, there are no published studies on alexithymia. Alexithymic characteristics and related factors were examined in a sample of 81 HIV-positive patients using the modified Beth Israel Psychosomatic Questionnaire and the Social Support of Stress and Coping Inventory. The severity of alexithymia was significantly higher in HIV patients than healthy controls, suggesting the presence of sec…
Subclinical Depressive Symptoms in HIV Infection are Related to Avoidance Coping Responses
We examined the relationship between coping responses and mood states among three samples of patients with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection (n=26), end-stage renal failure (n=98), and breast cancer (n= 60). Avoidance scores differed significantly across the groups, being highest in those with HIV infection. The avoidance scores were significantly and positively correlated with depression scores. However, patients with HIV infection di…
