| Outline of Annual Research Achievements |
Our research aims to investigate the differences between public and private firms in Japan, with a focus on corporate cash holdings and
acquisition performance. We are motivated to understand the fundamental reasons behind the high levels of corporate cash holdings in Japanese
firms. These results will help to deepen understanding of Japanese firms and hence act as meaningful references to investors, corporate
executives, and policymakers adjusting cash holding policies. In addition, we also expand the research to examine the effects of recent corporate governance changes in Japan on the financial performance and behavior of listed firms in Japan.
