Postwar Japanese Economy
Author: Mitsuhiko Iyoda
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 1441963324
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 167
Book Description
Since the end of World War II, the Japanese economy has seen rapid changes and remarkable progress. It has also experienced a bubble economy and period of prolonged stagnation. The book seeks to address three major questions: What kind of changes have taken place in the postwar years? In what sense has there been progress? What lessons can be drawn from the experiences? The book is organized as follows: It begins with an overview of the postwar Japanese economy, using data to highlight historical changes. The four major economic issues in the postwar Japanese economy (economic restoration, rapid economic growth, the bubble economy and current topics) are addressed, with particular focus on the meaning of economic growth and the bubble economy. The next chapters examine the important economic issues for Japan related to a welfare-oriented society, including income distribution, asset distribution, and the relative share of income. Another chapter deals with the household structure of Japan, the pension issue, and the importance of the effect of demographic change on income distribution. The final chapter gives a brief summary, examines quality of life as a lesson of this research, and briefly outlines a proposal for a basic design towards achieving a high satisfaction level society. This book will be of interest to economists, economic historians and political scientists and would be useful as a text for any course on the Japanese economy.

Reviving Japan's Economy
Author: Takatoshi Itō
Publisher: MIT Press
ISBN:
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 452
Book Description
Analysis and policy prescriptions for Japan's sustained economic recovery from its 14-year malaise by 15 top American and Japanese experts on the subject. Japan, the world's second largest economy, has suffered from a prolonged period of stagnation and malaise since 1991. Subpar growth, failing banks, plummeting real estate and stock prices, deflation, unprecedented unemployment, and huge government liabilities have persisted, despite extraordinary fiscal and monetary policy fixes. In Reviving Japan's Economy, 16 top American and Japanese experts analyze Japan's underperforming economy, and develop and recommend policy solutions aimed at achieving Japan's growth potential, improving the quality of life for the Japanese people, and strengthening Japan's contribution to the global economy. A collaborative effort that grew out of a research project begun in 2002 and sponsored by the Center on Japanese Economy and Business at Columbia University and the Research Center for Advanced Science and Technology at the University of Tokyo, the book looks to the future while having as its foundation a careful analysis of Japan's recent economic history. The contributing authors examine such topics as the long-term economic, demographic, social, and political transformation now underway in Japan; the costs of the long economic malaise; lessons for the United States from Japan's post-bubble mistakes; aggregate demand and macroeconomic policy; monetary policy; financial system difficulties; issues facing the Japanese labor market; corporate restructuring and financing; and Japan's new trade policy. The feasible, optimal policy solutions offered in this book aim to prompt a revival of Japan's long-run economic vitality.

The New, Emerging Japanese Economy
Author: Panos Mourdoukoutas
Publisher: Cengage Learning
ISBN:
Category : Antitrust law
Languages : en
Pages : 264
Book Description
Mourdoukoutas New Emerging Japanese Economy documents the rise of the old Japan economy, identifies the reasons and their domestic and international effects, then charts Japan's rapid decline, and the effects that this largely unexpected event had on the conduct of business globally. But now the signs point to Japan's economic recovery - and the importance of this cannot be overestimated. Not only will it provide benefits to the Japanese people, these same benefits will extend to Japan's trading partners worldwide. The result will be new opportunities, but new challenges as well for unwary foreign management. Mourdoukoutas analyzes the Japanese economy, from rise to fall to rise again, and relates his findings, analyses, and interpretations directly to the conduct of world trade, not only between Japan and the U.S. but with other partners as well. In doing so he makes it possible for corporate management at the highest levels to determine for itself what its strategic response should be - how to select, create, and sell innovative goods and services, and how to design new business methods to maximize gains and guard against losses. The result is a rigorously pragmatic, readable guide for international business people in various capacities and at the highest corporate levels, as well as a challenging, provocative analysis for individuals interested in business management and world trade.

The Internationalization of the Japanese Economy
Author: Chikara Higashi
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 9401578915
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 338
Book Description
In the first, 1987, edition of this book, Dr. Higashi and Dr. Lauter have discussed and analyzed the initial stages of the internationalization process The authors with Michio Watanabe at a reception in Hakone, Japan, 1988. xvi THE INTERNATIONALIZATION OF THE JAPANESE ECONOMY of the Japanese economy as it had evolved between 1985 and 1986. In this, the second, edition, they explore the developments during 1985-1988 and show how the gradual transformation of the economy from export-Ied to domestic demand-Ied growth has taken place, what the results of the trans formation process are, what remaining problems still have to be resolved, and what directions the Japanese economy might take in the future. While the transformation process is by no means completed, Drs. Higashi and Lauter provide a broad, policy-analysis based overview that enables the reader to understand not only the economic but also the basic political and social issues involved in the internationalization process. In this sense, the authors stay away from the extreme positions that characterize so many of the publications on Japan today and attempt to provide a realistic view of the changes and the impact of these changes. I believe that this book is a fair and balanced representation of events.
