内容説明

This analysis of the performance of Japanese industry covers the period 1955 to the 1980s. The main purposes of the work are to provide a systematic analysis of the economy disaggregated to 25 industrial sectors and to explore the feasibility of large scale industry modelling, from the viewpoint of both availability and reliability of statistical data. The book covers current policy issues as well as historical development. The significance of the study extends beyond the boundaries of the Japanese economy. Japan is one of the few cases where we can witness such rapid economic growth and a wide range of structural changes, supported by detailed empirical data. Being a compact (but fairly comprehensive) picture of the structure and performance of Japanese industry, the volume includes discussion of institutions peculiar to the Japanese economy and the shift in policy issues in the course of economic growth. The work provides sources of statistical data in various fields; because it is the result of a statistical data bank project, a diskette is attached, containing more than 1,000 data series used in the study.
