Abstract
The Japanese economy has worked fairly well since the Second World War. The immediate post-war reconstruction, the period of rapid economic growth before the oil crisis, and better macroeconomic performance even after the oil crisis are representative examples of its success. The purpose of this book is to examine the quantitative effects of various public policies on the performance of the Japanese economy. It aims at finding out what public policies were effective, and what public policies went wrong.
