Research Abstract

This research investigated small businesses and entrepreneurial activities in the shrinking economy. First, the results revealed dynamic relationships between economic shocks and aggregate bankruptcies. Furthermore, new empirical findings were proposed for important aspects of the Japanese economy, including business conditions, the behavior of capital investments, and academic entrepreneurships. The research developed our understanding of business behavior and relevant policies in severe economic conditions.
