| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
More intra-national, distributional trade conflict manifests itself as a stumbling block to international trade. Japan is no exception in its resistance to ongoing agricultural liberalization. Our research is to contribute to constructive debates over merits or demerits of free trade such as the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) Agreement. A technical aspect of the significance of the research is to increase the accuracy of numerical computation by achieving a higher reliability in our simulations. Our main simulation results are: 1) Japan, with any further opening of her agricultural sector, will have an increasingly higher wage rate; 2) The agricultural sector will turn out to be increasingly more capital-intensive; 3) The agricultural sector will be reduced by 21% by import expansion; 4) The aggregate annual GDP gains of 1.29 trillion yen (more than US$ 10 billion) can further raise the general welfare of the population.
