Overview
2007 - 2009
Given the advent of an aging society with a declining population, plus major structural changes in the form of globalization and the intensification of international competition, in order to maintain economic vitality and to keep the size of the public sector within a scope that is sustainable, it is essential to implement reform toward establishing "small government." Our research activities will include the categorization of the forms of public-private partnership (PPP) such as private finance initiative (PFI), the designated administrator system, and market testing; the conduct of quantitative verification of the effects of reductions in fiscal expenditure; and the conduct of analyses of introduction incentives, including by means of surveys of local government bodies and non-profit organizations (NPOs). In this way we will put forward suggestions on how to shape policies for achieving efficient public services in Japan through PPP.
