New Industrial Policy

Leading nations appear to have ventured into the formulation of strategies and policies that promote both their own domestic industries and companies in the global markets. This program will conduct research on formulating industrial policies in the aftermath of the Great East Japan earthquake with a view toward resolving issues being faced by the Japanese economy. It will take into consideration the roles played by product innovations, while also looking into the perspectives of, for example, environmental, energy, and resource policies, competition policy, as well as agricultural policy.
