A corporate-centred conservative welfare regime
The Japanese welfare model is identified by the unified typology method of welfare and production regime (Schroder 2013) as the corporate-centred conservative welfare regime (CCWR), a subgroup of the conservative welfare regime. The major company cross-class alliance (Ito,1988) has played a pivotal role in constructing the CCWR under the group-based coordinate market economy (Hall & Soskice,2001,2007). It encompasses the following key characteris…
Financial Crises and the Central Bank

We conduct statistical tests for the relationship between public debt and primary fiscal balance, and find that Japanese public debt was sustainable until 1931, and unsustainable in and after 1932. Narrative modes of analys…

We then show that joining the gold standard did not reduce Japanese interest rates or lead to a domestic investment boom. However, we find that membership in the gold standard increased Japan's expor…
