Export-led Growth• Protect domestic firms at first• Demand that they export• Provide government assistance to direct
investment and to support export• Brilliantly successful for Japan (& later Korea, Taiwan,
Singapore, Hong Kong, & now China)
Standard (not Japanese) 1940s development model• Import Substitution
• Protect domestic industries, produce for domestic market• Import only raw materials and capital goods• Fails miserably: leads to debt and weak domestic
industries that never “grow up”

• The LPD has a central position between the bureaucracy and business• Its uninterrupted tenure of office for the past decades was
a necessary guarantee of the government-industry relationship in Japan (Reading 1992)
• It assumes a central position between the bureaucracy and business, co-ordinating their interests and playing their referee
![Page 37: 2011 04 Asia](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022110309/558453a1d8b42afc4e8b51db/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)

• Formal and informal consultation among the three players
• The bureaucracy maintains good access to the communication networks by practicing amakudari (descending from heaven), which removes retired bureaucrats from MITI etc into the LPD or into corporations to benefit from their bonds
• Strong interdependence with a clear mission• Cooperation is not always harmonious and the
centre of many scandals

• The shares are held by a large number of firms in relatively small fractional parcels
• Firm has some kind of transactional relationship with these corporate shareholders (banking, insurance, lending, supply of inputs, purchase of outputs)
• Firm holds shares in many of the these firms: the sharefoldings are reciprocal
• Firms hold each other`s shares as “stable shareholders“ (antei kabunushi) (Sheard 1994)
![Page 46: 2011 04 Asia](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022110309/558453a1d8b42afc4e8b51db/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
• Takeover is impossible• Companies also have other strong relationships
with each other, they are trading with each other

• Inflexibility• Criticism among companies is not• possible either• Also prevents access to the market for many
foreign companies in Japan
![Page 48: 2011 04 Asia](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022110309/558453a1d8b42afc4e8b51db/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
• Close long-term relationship between• banks and firms in the same group.• Banks “rescue” affiliated firms.• Banks place insiders on firms’ board (interlocking
directorates - parson).• Banks hold some shares.
![Page 49: 2011 04 Asia](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022110309/558453a1d8b42afc4e8b51db/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
• “Main bank” is a dominant lender for its affiliated firms.

• Debt holders face fixed payout.• Equity holders hold residual claim.• When firms are close to insolvent,• Equity holders have nothing to lose from
taking excessive risk.• Debt holders do not reap the benefits of risk
taking.• Debt holders prefer conservative investment• strategy.• Liability mix might be important to firm value.
![Page 52: 2011 04 Asia](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022110309/558453a1d8b42afc4e8b51db/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
• To (partially) solve adverse selection, screening is• important.• To (partially) solve moral hazard, monitoring is important.• Banks might be in a better positive to do both.• Banks observe cash flow closely (provided that
borrowers’ profit and loss enter into their deposits.• Banks solve “free rider problem” and duplication of
monitoring efforts in case of borrowers’ financial distress.• Banks must have incentive to do this, though.• Government bailout or deposit insurance partly reduce
this incentive.

• Most Japan's economic fluctuation were triggered by fluctuations in the international balance of payments.
The Bretton Woods Regime (1945) 1 dollar = 360 yen
Mechanism Japan's foreign reserves were relatively scarce. Japan had to keep the balance of trade (EX - IM)
positive. In boom, IM rose faster than EX. The Gov'nt raised interest rates and cut expenditure. Boom ended and contraction started.

• Most Japan's economic fluctuation were triggered by fluctuations in the international balance of payments.
The Bretton Woods Regime (1945) 1 dollar = 360 yen
Mechanism Japan's foreign reserves were relatively scarce. Japan had to keep the balance of trade (EX - IM)
positive. In boom, IM rose faster than EX. The Gov'nt raised interest rates and cut expenditure. Boom ended and contraction started.

Floating Exchange Rate (1973) Two Oil Crisis (1973, 1979)The first oil crisis:
A sharp decrease in productivity due to high oil price. A delay in the restraining of demand => wild
inflation. One of worst postwar recession.
The second oil crisis:
Monetary policies were conducted carefully. Recession was long but not as acute as the 1st one.
Business cycles are caused by aggregate supply shocks rather after 1973.

• Recent Agreements ”Real disturbances are an important source of economic
fluctuations; the hypothesis that business fluctuations can largely be attributed to exogenous random variations in monetary policy has few if any remaining adherents.”
Michael Woodford (2008)

pay by tax in future. Monetary policy for stabilization by controlling people's
expectations.

Japan's long recession could be attributed to a problem of Japanese financial system.
In the recession period, Japanese banks misallocated credit by supporting zombie firms.
Zombie firms – Low productivity firms, which should exit the market.
Non-zombie firms – High productivity firms, which should operate or start to operate in the market.
The existence of zombie firms interfered new entries by non-zombie firms.

Why banks kept lending to Zombies? Basel capital standards (International standards governing banks' minimum level of
capital) When banks wanted to call in non-performing
loan, they have to write off existing capital. The fear of falling below the capital standards led
many banks to continue to extend credit to insolvent borrowers, gambling that somehow these firms would recover or that the government bail them out.
