His tireless support and leadership throughout the PhD Program have led this work to fruition. Under his leadership, I have learned to perceive social problems as an opportunity for improvement. Furthermore, I am thankful for every encouraging word from him, especially at times when the road ahead seemed dark. Moreover, I would like to extend my gratitude to my deputy supervisor Professor Yasushi Katsuma and other member of my examination committee, Professor Kato Atsushi and Professor Akihiro Nakamura. Thank you very much for taking the time to read the draft of my thesis, and to offer your recommendations and input. Looking at this thesis, your input has made the difference. This thesis was also shaped during seminar presentations, where most of my colleagues offered their inputs for improvement. A number of my colleagues used their precious time to go through my work and help me shape it accordingly. I would not be able to mention every one of you, but I am appreciative to each one. I would not have been able to write this thesis without the great support of my darling husband and children, and their sacrifices, patience, and understanding.
