| Research Abstract |
The database for international trade based on prefectures and regions within Japan is successfully constructed from the original database by custom offices. By using this constructed database, we came up with the following four research papers. First, extensive margin plays an important role of about 60% in accounting the growth of regional exports. Second, in addition to differences due to countries and industries, it is shown that production region within a country also matters for differences in exchange rate pass-through. Moreover, regional share in national exports significantly affects the degree of exchange rate pass-through. Third, by constructing a theoretical model and empirically investigating of international trade with the explicit role of regions within a country, we show that an expansion of foreign market raises the export share of the region with geographical advantage. Forth, with respect to Korea and Taiwan, intra-industry trade and extensive margin are strongly correlated in international trade of Japanese prefectures.
