Outline of Final Research Achievements

From qualitative point of view, we can note the tendency of trade delinking with Asian counties as following. Both exports and imports of Japan with Asian countries are going to increase, but the relative share of the both trade with Asian countries is decreasing. However trade share of Chain is increasing.
From the quantitative analysis of Global production system viewing from a structural change in international trade, we can argue that it is important to analyze the capability creation and complementary relationship building among firms. And we need to make clear the structures of global production system basing institutions. So not only explaining the delinking process rough a perspective of service link cost, but also illustrating the process from the aspect of capability and network approach, we can analyze the global production system to figure out quantitative structure of network of firms.
