Mitsuru Okiyama has made significant contributions to understanding the impact of climate change and natural disasters on regional economies through computable general equilibrium (CGE) analysis. Research articles focus on Japan's fruit tree, rice, automotive, and food industries, shedding light on economic effects of climate-related changes and disaster recovery efforts. Studies apply dynamic panel data, spatial CGE models, and inter-regional social accounting matrices to analyze production loss, supply chain disruptions, and the potential gains from cluster development. The research emphasizes the importance of fiscal measures for regional renewal, water pricing systems, and mitigating drought impacts in China, providing valuable insights into economic resilience and sustainability in the face of climate-related challenges.
