Our Crowdfunding Groups
Thank you so much to everyone who helped us reach 86% of our goal for the Brad Richardson Memorial Fund from February 1 - March 2, 2018 by raising $2,605! It is amazing to see how many lives he impacted throughout his career on campus and in the community.
Our giving page is no longer active, but if you would like to provide any additional support to our project, please do so here.
We are thrilled to report that the Third Brad Richardson Memorial Lecture had a great turnout with over 50 attendants on Monday, February 26. We would like to translate this enthusiasm into crowd-funding strengths. Brad Richardson made great contributions to the OSU, the State of Ohio, the community of scholars and professionals, and the Ohio-Japan relations. We endeavor to promote the same goals and visions that Brad envisaged, and we would thus like to elevate the Brad Richardson Memorial Fund to the endowment level. The Fund will support academic programs and outreach activities that can enhance the interest, knowledge and discourse on Japan among the campus and general public.
If you haven't already, please consider giving to Brad Richardson Memorial Fund. Our crowd funding closes tomorrow, March 2. Your contributions can also be made by a check made payable to “The Ohio State University”. Please include "Buckeye Funder: Richardson" in the memo field of your check and mail it to “The Ohio State University Alumni Association, The Office of Annual Giving, Attn. Megan Murphy, The Longaberger Alumni House, 2200 Olentangy River Rd., Columbus, OH 43210”. Please consider giving in any amount to the Brad Richardson Memorial Fund to continue Brad's legacy with engaging lectures such as this one.

Abstract: Professor Hoshi will review Japan’s economic growth slowdown and deflation in the 1990s and the 2000s and ask if the economic policy of the current Abe Administration has succeeded in pulling Japan out of economic stagnation. His analysis will examine the problems in various aspects of the Japanese economy including banking and financial system, corporate governance, monetary and fiscal policies, population dynamics, and especially labor markets. He will also illustrate the relevance of Japan’s experience to the economies of the U.S. and Europe, which also have been experiencing growth slowdowns after the global financial crisis a decade ago.
