This paper investigated three subjects ; (a) collaborative research in Japan, (b)theoretical analysis of collaborative research, (c) comparison of competition policy towards collaborative research in Japan, EV,and the U.S.In (b), we found that collaborative research increases or decreases social welfare depending on the number of firms involved and the degree of technological spillovers.
Second paper is titled "Keiretsu : Inter-firm relationship in Japan". In this paper, so called vertical and horizontal keiretsu are examined from the historical and institutional view point, then the implications of the existence of keiretsu on the Japanese economy is discussed. Keiretsu is the product of Japan's institutional settings and historical events and it can promote production efficiency, but, there may be the negative impact on overall efficiency.
