Outline of Final Research Achievements

In this study, we have examined the economic and human damage inflicted on Iwate, Miyagi, Fukushima, and Ibaraki Prefectures by the Great East Japan Earthquake, as well as the devastation caused in Fukushima Prefecture by the nuclear power plant disaster, based on materials including industrial production indices and Fukushima Prefectural statistics and surveys done by the Tohoku Bureau of Economy, Trade and Industry. We also showed the extent of the fiscal transfer to date from the government for reconstruction and renewal in the stricken areas, in addition to analyzing the economic effect of the formation of new industrial clusters using the computable general equilibrium model.
