Overview
The COVID-19 pandemic makes the prospects of the world economy more uncertain. This project empirically examines how globalization and digitization are related to Japanese firms' responses to the pandemic based on firm-level data. We also consider using Big Data as a possibility for analyzing the impact of the pandemic on Japanese trade. We also continue our research on intra-firm trade and cross-border digital data transfers, as they will become even more important after the pandemic.
