The time when at least a monomer and a chain transfer agent are supplied in a reactor and the solution temperature in the reactor has reached a predetermined polymerization temperature is set as starting time (T
0
), and the time when a process to terminate the polymerization is started is set as ending time (T
1
). A polymerization initiator is supplied into the reactor between (T
0
) and just before [(T
1
)−(T
0
)/2] and between [(T
1
)−(T
0
)/2] and (T
1
). The total mass of the polymerization initiator supplied to the reactor between (T
0
) and (T
1
) is set as (I
A
), and the total mass of the polymerization initiator supplied between [(T
0
−T
1
)/2] and (T
1
) is set as (I
B
). The (I
A
) is set 50 to 100 mass % of the entire polymerization initiator. Using a production method in which 0.50<(I
B
)/(I
A
)<1.00 is satisfied, a polymer is produced at a high polymerization rate showing less variation of molecular weight and having less amount of chain transfer agent residue remaining at an end of the polymer chain.
