| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Based on empirical studies of the behavior of the Presidents of the United States and Japan's Prime Ministers since the late 1970s, this study tries to answer the question that under which condition chief executives tend to fix their schedule and that what kind of schedule is likely to lead to their policy and political successes.
This study first creates and modifies the dataset about the daily behavior of Japan's PMs made from newspaper articls and President Bill Clinton's first term from the official document on his schedule. The result of data analyses shows that a president is more likely to pursue legislative activities when he/she has rich political resources. In contrast, no such tendency is found for the cases of Japan's PMs, except Prime Minister Yasuhiro Nakasone.
