| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The purpose of this research is, using micro data from government statistics and original surveys, to analyze uncertainty firms facing and its impacts on management and on the macro economy. Major results are as follows: (1) Business uncertainty negatively affects firms’ investments. (2) Exchange rate uncertainty has a negative effect on exports. (3) Firms perceive uncertainty over the social security system, tax policy, fiscal expenditure, and international trade policy. (4) Policy uncertainties have substantial effects on managerial decisions, especially on equipment investment and hiring of regular employees. (5) Uncertainty over production forecast is associated with overseas policy uncertainty, in addition to Japan’s own economic policy uncertainty. (6) The uncertainty measures constructed from micro data have an advantage over those calculated from the publicly available aggregated data.
