Understanding Saving
Author: Fumio HayashiPublisher: MIT Press
ISBN: 9780262082556
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 532
Book Description
Analysis of consumption and saving decisions by households has always been one of the most active areas of research in economics--and with good reason. Private consumption is the most important component of aggregate demand in a capitalist economy, and explaining consumption is the key element in most macroeconomic forecasting models. To evaluate the effect of government policies invariably requires the knowledge of how they change parameters relevant for household decision making. Understanding Saving collects eleven papers by economist Fumio Hayashi, along with two previously unpublished chapters, for a total of thirteen chapters. The monograph, which brings together Hayashi's empirical research on saving, is divided into three sections. Part I, "Liquidity Constraints", contains five studies that test the well-known implication of the Life Cycle-Permanent Income hypothesis that households shield consumption from income fluctuations. Part II, "Risk-Sharing and Altruism", contains three papers that examine the interactions between related and unrelated households predicted by the hypothesis for the US and Japanese households. The three papers in Part III, "Japanese Saving Behavior", present the author's explanation of the high saving rate in postwar Japan.
Public Policies and the Japanese Economy
Author: Toshiaki TachibanakiPublisher: Palgrave Macmillan
ISBN: 9780312164300
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 311
Book Description
The purpose of this book is to examine the relationship between public policies and the economy in Japan in many fields. Public policies include tax policy, regulation, macroeconomic policy and labour policy. The book aims to find which public policies were effective for achieving the relatively better macroeconomic performance in the Japanese economy, and which were not. Savings, portfolio choice, housing, investment, cost of capital, taxes, unemployment, wages and inequality are covered, with particular emphasis on the evaluation of the two factor markets - namely, the capital and labour markets - in Japan. Special attention is paid to the examination of the effect of public policies on efficiency and equity, normally interacting in a trade-off relationship.

This volume brings together various analytical studies the IMF staff has undertaken on the Japanese economy, focusing on two areas of particular interest for both longer-term economic performance and recent cyclical developments.

Saving the Sun tells the story of the world's largest private equity deal where American investors made billions of dollars rehabilitating Shinsei, a failed Japanese bank. Within that business saga is the dramatic tale of Japan's brightest financial minds, the men who made the Japanese economic miracle come to life, and their struggle against the economic failure in the 1990s. Into this climate of despair, where Japan seemed incapable of reviving prosperity, came a group of wily and determined Americans who would discover just how different the Japanese really are.
