    The disaster will weigh on Japan's economic growth through negative impact on consumption, capex projection, and lower capacity to ship export. On the other hand, reconstruction demand in the phase of recovery will have positive impact on reconstruction of housing, replacement of production equipments (i.e. capex), government expenditure, and public investment. If we aggregate those negative and positive impacts, quarterly real GDP growth will be pushed down by a total of -2.1% points for Jan-Mar and Apr-Jun quarters. But reconstruction demand thereafter will push up real GDP growth rates for Jul-Sep and Oct-Dec quarters by a total of +0.9% points. Those said, we revise down our real GDP forecast for FY2011 to almost zero%. The earthquake will have negative impact both on actual household consumption expenditure and on their sentiments, which, in turn, will make households increase precautionary saving. However, strong reconstruction demand in the recovery phase will result in a +2.3% real GDP growth for FY2012. On the price front, we point out that the impact of the disaster will be inflationary rather than deflationary.…

    Today Japan is facing a failing economy with falling consumer prices, rising debt, and an aging population. Sound very familiar? Japan’s Prime Minister Naoto Kan and most high ranking business executives are invoking the legacy of Rymoa Sakamoto, who helped modernize the nation’s government and economy. Just like our founding father did. Japan is getting back to their roots, the roots that met diversity and unimaginable hardships in the face and conquered them.…

    In conclusion, stated by John Dower in “The Useful War” Japan has went through a period of drastic economic growth and development after the end of the World War II, yet apparently faced an economic depression and recession that Japan experiences even at present (Dower). Japan is famous for its industrial advances and robotics. Service industries appear to be rather popular too, and Japanese government further privatizes state-own strategic corporations. The government cooperates greatly with the most favored companies of Japan while places numerous trading barriers on imported goods. Japan has experienced major problems in the past like property bubbles, reliance on large corporations, unwillingness to open Japanese market to foreign goods, and bank and financial problems. At present Japan as two major problems that can be resolved quickly namely, market inefficiencies and lack of consumption. The problems that are unlikely to be changed and resolved are the opportunity/competitiveness lost and dependence on foreign…

    Because no nation has come half so far so fast, Japan is envied by capitalists elsewhere and looked upon as an example to emulate. Thirty years ago, its war-shattered economy was little more than one-third the size of Britain's. Today the Japanese G.N.P. exceeds the combined total of Britain and France, and the gap is certain to widen in the years ahead.…

    The Japanese economy has always been an enigma of the modern world. Japan is one of the few countries in the world that has had years of deflation, and a decreasing population. However, these are minor reasons in the grand scheme of things. With the recent signing of new trade pacts, winning the bid of the 2020 Olympics and general reforms to make Japan more accessible for tourists, the Japanese economy is on the cusp of revitalizing the economy again, a second miracle. With in the next two to five years, the economy will begin to ramp up.…

    3. I think Japan is going to have to change their immigration laws and allow of larger companies to come in and put their people to work. They have to figure out a way to lower the national debt that they are currently operating. Assume that the Japanese government financed its deficit partly by printing money rather than borrowing. Some individuals and businesses that receive this money might simply hold on to it, but others might choose to spend it on goods and services, thereby stimulating the economy. Similarly, higher deposits might simply add to some banks' excess cash, but others might find it attractive to lend more, providing a bigger economic boost…
