Overview
This project is a follow up to the one we conducted last year (Issues Faced by Japan's Economy and Economic Policy: Demand, productivity, and sustained growth) and continues to identify the issues facing the Japanese economy, separating them into those concerning demand and those concerning supply. This year, we focus more on the effects of the population decrease as one of main sources of the problems. Also, we try to find a policy that is necessary to solve these problems. We address topics including the consumption tax rate increase, recovery from the Great East Japan Earthquake, and other issues associated with sustained growth.
