Research Abstract |
The aims of this research are compose of two parts. First part is to make the theoretical foundations of regional life indicators transparent. Second part is to develop the methodology to make regional life indicators and to investigate its applicability to the national land use and regional planning, especially the infrastructure improvement policy. Firstly, we discussed on the theoretical relationship between the existing indices based on the framework of welfare economics and suggested the theoretical framework of regional life indicators. Further, we widened the frameworks and investigated the theoretical basis of the indices, which can deal with the change of total population or interregional migration. Its applicability to the national land use planning based on the norm of the equality of opportunity were also investigated. Secondly, we developed the methodology to make regional life indicators and calculated the regional welfare level by applying it. This methodology is base on that of consumer demand analysis and that of environment economics. Then, referring the calculated indicators, we analyzed the past interregional allocation policy of public investment from the viewpoint of political economics. From this empirical analysis, the shift of the value judgment behind that policy was clarified. The impact of the regional disparity of the weight on votes was also investigated. Thirdly, we developed the methodology to make it clear the impact of the increase of the availability of regional statistics on the reliability of regional life indicators. This framework is consistent with Bayesian decision-making theory and makes it possible to compare the benefit and the cost of survey. Through the numerical simulations, we showed its applicability.
