Outline of Research at the Start

日本社会が現在直面している、金融緩和政策、所得増加率の不均一性、労働分配率の低下、少子高齢化の伸展、恒常的な財政赤字と経常収支黒字等の社会経済状況を踏まえたうえで、効率性と公平性のバランスを賢く取りながら、日本社会を持続可能たらしめる財政金融政策を実施することが現在強く望まれている。
そこで、本研究は状態空間モデル、カルマン・フィルター(Kalman filter)、ならびに動学的応用一般均衡モデルを用いて、次の2課題に取り組む。1)政府の現在までの財政運営における持続可能性を検証すること。2)シミュレーション分析を通じて、今後の日本経済と政府財政を持続可能たらしめる財政金融政策を明らかにすること。

Outline of Final Research Achievements

I engaged in scrutinizing the Japanese public sector’s fiscal sustainability in this study. First, I implemented to assess fiscal postures of prefecture governments (PGs) with a panel dataset for FY1974-2016. Next, I elucidated chronological changes of fiscal policies with all government sectors, i.e., the general government (GG), the central government (CG), the whole of the local governments (WLG), and the whole of the social security funds (WSSF), as the analysis targets for 1976Q2-2020Q1.
This study revealed some following important facts: e.g., (1) PGs are presumed to sustainably manage their finances during the analysis term; (2) CG, WLG, and WSSF often sustainably managed their finances during the analysis term. However, GG has failed to implement a sustainable fiscal policy from the mid-1990s; (3) CG and WSSF adjusted their fiscal postures according to Japan’s economic state; (4) WLG changed its fiscal posture according to its fiscal severity.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

本研究の主な学術的かつ社会的な意義は、日本の政府財政の持続可能性分析を、次の点等で精緻化させたところにある。(1)分析対象を、全政府セクター(一般政府、中央政府、地方政府、社会保障基金)とした点。(2)各政府セクターの財政運営姿勢の変化を時系列に捉えた点。(3)各政府セクターの財政運営に影響を与える政府債務残高水準以外の要因を探った点。(4)各政府セクターが財政運営姿勢を変化させる要因を明らかにした点。 また、学術的な貢献としては、時系列変化を捉える分析モデル間の性能比較を実施した点、多様な時系列分析を可能とするよう必要な財政・経済関係の4半期データを推計した点等も挙げることができる。
