An acrylic resin (1) containing a structural unit derived from the following monomer (a) (structural unit (a)), and a structural unit derived from the following monomer (b) (structural unit (b)):
(a): a (meth)acrylate of the formula (A)
(wherein, R1 represents a hydrogen atom or methyl group, R2 represents an alkyl group having 1 to 14 carbon atoms or an aralkyl group having 1 to 14 carbon atoms, and a hydrogen atom in the alkyl group R2 or a hydrogen atom in the aralkyl group R2 may be substituted with an alkoxy group having 1 to 10 carbon atoms.), and
(b): a monomer containing one olefinic double bond and at least one monomer containing an alicyclic structure in the molecule (the olefinic double bond contained in (b) may be contained in the alicyclic structure).
