受賞の感想

この度はライトストーン社様から光石賞を頂きましたこと深く感謝申し上げます。専門学校の研究にあたりたくさんの試行錯誤を重ねて仕上げた本論文が、光石賞という栄えある賞を頂きましたことをとても嬉しく存じます。受賞にあたりまして、データ提供して頂いた東京大学社会科学研究所附属社会調査・データアーカイブ研究センターSSJデータアーカイブ様、論文作成に研鑽し激励し合ったゼミの友人達、そして多様な分析アプローチをご教授頂いた黒田祥子先生に、この場を借りて改めて感謝申し上げます。3人での共同研究には大変な苦労がありましたが、こうした知的探究を学生の間に経験できたことが、なによりの財産になったと確信しております。光石賞を受賞した経験が今後の研究に活きるよう、さらに精進して参ります。

受賞の感想

It is my great pleasure that I am awarded with 2nd prize in this honourable student paper competition. Credit for this accomplishment mostly goes to my research advisor, Stephen L. DesJardins. His dedicated support and informative suggestion made this achievement happen. I am also profoundly grateful to Xiaoyang Ye, a doctoral student in higher education, for providing critical assistance in creating the structure of this paper. In addition, this research project would not have been possible without permission from the Institute of Social Science at the University of Tokyo to have access to a nationally representative longitudinal dataset, called the Japanese Life Course Panel Surveys for the Youth (JLPS-Y).

Inspired by an empirical study about student dropout pattern at college, this study uses a variant of event history model and investigates factors that determine job mobility of Japanese new graduates at an early career stage. The development of the more flexible econometric model in this study will contribute in revealing a new aspect of job mobility pattern in the Japanese labor market. Although some of the parts in this paper need revisiting for a complete scholarly paper, including the linkage between the theoretical framework and variable selection, further examination of econometric model assumptions to name a few, I believe that not a few interesting implications can still be drawn upon. There is no reason to stop at this single publication for my intellectual journey. Even after graduating from college, I will keep putting out intense efforts to publish papers, and seize a better prize than this one sometime in the future.
