| Research Abstract |
The purpose of this research is to understand recent macroeconomic movements of the Japanese economy based on new Keynesian economics. Departing from the assumption of sticky prices, new Keynesian economics proposes an analytical framework with price volatilities. This framework is useful for studying the Japanese economy in the 1990s where stock prices and land prices fell sharply and exchange rate fluctuated.
Miyagawa focused on investment behavior which was a key factor of Keynesian economics. Writing a survey of investment theory and its empirical analyzes, he studied comovements of investment between industries.
Sharp drop in stock and land prices damaged a financial system and effects of monetary policy and balance sheet shock in a banking sector have changed. Miyagawa examined transmission mechanism of monetary policy and negative shock in a banking sector. Asako studied effects of monetary policy on prices of interest futures.
Globalization is an important feature of the Japanese economy in the 1990. Fukao focused on which factors are crucial for selecting a country when Japanese firms carried out foreign direct investment. His empirical analysis showed that labor cost and country risk are crucial factors for foreign direct investment. Fukuda examined why the Japanese yen did not play a role of invoice currency in spite of the globalization of Japanese firms.
