IC² Institute Blog

Hello, everybody! My name is Hidemichi Fujii. I am an IC² Visiting Scholar from Hiroshima,  Japan, and I am spending the year in Austin working on a project on environmental management and economic performance, especially of industrial firms in Japan, the U.S., Europe, and China.

I will attend the  12th International Conference on Technology Policy and Innovation (ICTPI) in Porto, Portugal, to give a paper on my work. This is my first trip to Europe, so I am really excited. I recently published a paper I co-authored entitled “­­­­­­­Financial allocation strategies for the regional pollution abatement cost of reducing sulfur dioxide emissions in the thermal power sector in China” in Energy Policy. I plan to post updates on my conference presentation in Portugal—see you soon!

I will introduce one Japanese word at the end of my blog every time.

Ogenki desu ka? It means “how are you?”
