A three-layer model of borrowed size: Empirical insights from Japan
Price Elasticity of Electricity Consumption in Japan, 1990 to 2015
This study examines regional price elasticities in electricity consumption to offer valuable insights for policymaking in electricity demand-side management in Japan. By employing a partial adjustment model and utilizing data from regional electric utilities, the study estimates regional electricity demand functions. The analysis reveals that, within the residential sector, the size of houses plays a significant role in explaining regional variat…
Industrial electricity consumption efficiency and energy policy in Japan
Inter‐regional networks and productive efficiency in Japan
Productivity change and decomposition analysis of Japanese regional economies
This study examines the productivity growth and its four components for Japanese regional economies by analyzing 47 prefectures for the period 1995–2012. The productivity changes are measured by the Hicks–Moorsteen–Bjurek productivity growth, and the four components consist of technical change, efficiency change, scale change, and input and output mix effects. Data envelopment analysis (DEA) is applied to the measurement. From the results, this s…
Cost-efficiency of Japanese local governments: Effects of Decentralization and Regional Integration
Stochastic frontier analysis is used to examine the cost-efficiency of Japanese local governments at a prefectural level, corresponding to states in the United States. The issue of cost-efficiency has two policy concerns for fiscal decentralization: one is whether fiscal transfers from central government to local governments influence cost-efficiency; the other is whether the size of the local population influences cost-efficiency. This study emp…
Regional Policy and the Productive Efficiency of Japanese Industries
Otsuka A. and Goto M. Regional policy and the productive efficiency of Japanese industries, Regional Studies . This paper examines the impacts of agglomeration economies and fiscal transfer on productive efficiency in Japanese regional industries. Two popular methodologies are applied - stochastic frontier analysis (SFA) and data envelopment analysis (DEA) - to measure productive efficiency. The empirical findings are summarized as follows: (1) a…
