Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This research project investigated the economic effects of the two “shocks” that occurred during the last few decades in international economies. One is the drastically increased presence of China in the world trading system. The other is the US-China trade war waged by the former US president, Donald Trump. In particular, the projects analyzed the following issues. 1. The effects of “the China shock” (drastic increases in imports from China) on the Japanese labor market and Japanese firms’ adjustment (employment, product switching, etc.). 2. The effects of “the Trump shock” (the US-China trade war) on the terms of trade and the trade of the third countries, especially Japan and Korea. 3. The effects of increasing uncertainty on trade and investment. Eleven academic papers directly related to these issues, and five academic papers indirectly related were made public.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
中国との貿易関係が世界で最も急速に深まった日本の企業・事業所レベルのデータを利用して「中国ショック」の影響を分析したこと、またトランプ前米国大統領による大幅な関税引き上げによって実証検証が初めて可能になった交易改善効果を分析したこと、また米中貿易戦争の日本など第三国への影響を分析したこと、更には近年益々高まる不確実性が貿易・投資に与える影響を分析したこと、これらはどれも新規性且つ分析方法の適切性という観点より学術的意義を有し、また現在世界が抱える喫緊且つ最大の課題に対する知見を提供した点において社会的意義を有する。
