Questions Should Have Answers

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Philosophy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Making sense of the world often requires one to come up with new ideas, including ideas one had previously been unable to think of. How and when should this be done? I propose and defend a norm of rationality linking wondering, belief, and abilities to conceive: one must not both wonder a question and reject all answers to it that one can ...

A Ramsey-Theory-Based Approach to the Dynamics of Systems of Material Points

open access: yesInternational Economic Review, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We study the optimal income tax problem under parameter uncertainty about household preferences and wage dynamics. We derive conditions characterizing how such uncertainty affects optimal tax policy. To quantify the effect, we estimate a life‐cycle model using US data and a Bayesian approach.

The Legacy of Policy Inaction in Climate‐Growth Models

open access: yesInternational Economic Review, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT To better understand the structure and core mechanisms of a broad class of climate‐growth models, we study a simplified version of the dynamic integrated model of climate and the economy (DICE) through the lens of growth theory. We analytically show that this model features a continuum of saddle‐point stable steady states.

The distinctive incorporation of sociological neoinstitutionalism into Japanese sociology and its theoretical insights for the discipline

open access: yesJapanese Journal of Sociology, Volume 34, Issue 1, Page 206-223, March 2025.
Abstract Although sociological neoinstitutionalist thought has made indelible imprints across the social sciences in Japan, its incorporation into Japanese sociology at large has been relatively limited, and its broader applications to analyses of global social phenomena using World Society Theory are even less prominent.
