Outline of Final Research Achievements

The purpose of this paper is to empirically examine the pricing implication of the Bank of Japan (BOJ)’s market intervention in the primary market of Japanese government bonds (JGBs) with explicitly considering Japanese government’s debt management. We model the demand and supply of JGBs in multiple maturities as a simultaneous equation system and estimate it by using the price and quantity data of JGBs. The estimated demand function supports the preferred-habitat hypothesis while the estimated supply function suggests the Japanese government’s active debt management. The impacts of the BOJ’s intervention on the yield curve, that could have been sizable under the weak arbitrage, is significantly offset by the Japanese government’s debt management.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

日本の金利体系(イールドカーブ)がどのように形成されるのか,日銀の量的緩和による国債買入はこれにどのような影響を与えるのかという問題は,巨額の累積債務を抱え,超低金利が常態化した日本経済を理解する上で非常に興味深い.本研究では,国債の需要・供給関数の推計を通じて,金利体系の形成メカニズムを解明した.その結果,金利形成においては,需要サイドのみならず供給サイドの国債管理政策が重要な役割を演じていることが分かった.
