Yet the Japanese economy is one of the most misunderstood phenomena in the modern world. Conventionally  Japan is presented as the exception to mainstream economic theory: an exception to the standard models of modern economics. This book demolishes that notion  bringing the full analytical power of economic thought to all aspects of the most dramatic economic success story in recent times.  David Flath concentrates on four main themes: Japans economic growth and development; Japans integration with the world economy; Government policies and their effects; Economic institutions and practices.  By applying common economic tools such as the Solow growth model  Modiglianis life-cycle model of saving  Beckers theory of investment  Samuelsons theory of revealed preference  Coases exposition of the problem of social cost  and the modern theory of industrial organization  this book shows that the mainstream principles of economics apply in Japan as successfully as they do elsewhere.  Revised and updated to take account of recent developments in Japanese banking and macroeconomics  this book is an indispensable resource for students and instructors alike. Lucid explanations and comprehensive and rigorous analysis make it natural choice for anyone interested in comprehending the rise of the Japanese economy.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45652617723957,"sku":"ByrdShop_019870240X","price":68.27,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780198702405.jpg?v=1781852182","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-japanese-economy-9780198702405","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
