Abstract This note is to provide a bridge between traditional local analysis for comparative statics and its global counterpart. Many economists vaguely believe that it is possible to obtain a global result by applying consecutively a series of local results. This belief is not well founded in models where parameters enter in a not-so-simple way. An example is given to show that local analysis is after all local. In the proof of the first main theorem, a consecutive use of a well known local result is employed. Some necessary assumptions are explicitly stated. Then this theorem is applied to establish another main theorem in which a simple repetitive application of local analysis may break down because some required properties cease to hold. This two-stage approach seems to be useful in tackling with other types of equations. As an application of our theorems, a general equilibrium model with Hicksian imperfect stability is taken up. A comparative statics result due to Hicks is extended to the case of global changes. An interesting point to note is that when dealing with global comparative statics, the old system plays no explicit role. Only the new system matters together with the new and old equilibrium values. Understanding this point is important when we come to consider such real situations as involve technical changes in which new processes as well as new commodities turn up.

Title Alternative Representative Arguments on the Formation of Bubbles : Pigeonholing the Points at Issue - The Period of Bubbles (1) -
FullText URL oer_029_3_031_055.pdf
Author Ichinose, Atsushi|
Abstract The aim of this paper is to compare and examine the following three books focusing our attention on the process of the formation of bubbles: Giichi Miyazaki, The Compound Depression, 1992: Yukio Noguchi, Economics of Bubbles, 1992: Yoshio Suzuki, Monetary Policy in Japan, 1993. Miyazaki deems the first phase of bubble formation to be 1983-87 and the second to be 1988-89. His subjective intention is to explain bubbles through deregulation of finance. Yet objectively, his analysis emphasizes firstly, the Bank's intervention (increase of money supply) after the Plaza agreement, and secondly, MOF's preferential treatments on taxation to firms. His biggest problem is the ambiguity in his basis of the above phase-division, which affects his wlole discussion. Noguchi regards the latter half of 1980's as the bubble period. He points out, first of all, the prosperity of so-called equity finance and zaiteku (technology of finance) as formative factors. Secondly, above all, he refers to the prolonged cheap money. Nevertheless he isn't successful in explaining why bubbles began to swell from the year 1986. Suzuki deems the years 1988-89 to be the bubble period. He argues that it is the long-maintainded cheap money policy, which later proved to be an over-reaction to the Black Monday in Oct. 1987, that brought about bubbles. His arguments are clear, but seem to part from the reality. He excludes the years 1986-87 from the bubble period, as to neglect the extravagant inflow of short-term foreign money and the Bank's intervention above. To conclude, it is very important to clarify to the utmost extent when bubbles began to swell. This prescribes one's analysis of bubbles. We regard 1983-85 as the early phase of formation and 1986-89 as that of fuller-scale. Furthermore the possibility of watered fundamentals as well as the exorbitant short-term capital inflow during 1986-87 (and its relation to bubbles) should not be overlooked.

Title Alternative The Tasks for Decentralization and Financial Reform - Concerning the Second Report of the Local Decentralization Promoting Committee -
FullText URL oer_029_3_001_029.pdf
Author Sakamoto, Chuji|
Abstract In my last two papers, I have studied some points of issue on local decentralization, concerning the interim report and the first report by the local decentralization promoting committee. In this paper, we investigate on the historical aspects and the present situation of Kikaninin-Jimu (agency delegated functions) in Japan, and then, we study the intergovernmental financial reforms after the abolition of 'Kikaninin-Jimu'. We are discussing the rationalization of special grants, the intensification of local taxes and the reforms of the floting system of local debts, relating to the second report of the local decentralization promoting committee in 1997.

Abstract The new public mangement (NPM) has now been in fashion in many developed countries. The change from cash accounting to accrual accounting is considered an important tool in NPM. The New Zealand Government and the executive agencies in the UK transfered to accrual based budgeting and accounting, while the member countries of EU and the US Government control the expenditures in cash based. This paper aims to explain why the different approaches are adopted in public sector reforms in terms of comparative institutional analysis. Firstly, a multiprincipal and agent model, which expands the contingency model in accounting reforms into the arena of management reforms, is presented. By using the model, the reforms in the Japanese local governments are examined and their possible reforming scenarios are indicated; the reforms have the possibility of improving accountability and efficiency when NPM would be integrated with Planning, Programming and Budgeting System.

Title Alternative Chinese Society Observed through Popular Jingles in the Transitional Period from Deng Xiaoping to Jiang Zemin
FullText URL oer_029_2_025_060.pdf
Author Oka, Masumi|
Abstract In my previous works I tried to analyze the various phases of the Chinese society through six hundred popular jingles or "min-yao" under the regime of Deng Xiaoping, and also made it clear that the unprecedented boom of popular jingles was caused by the expantion of social contradictions and partial lifting of the prohibition ofjingles critical of the regime. Deng Xiaoping died in February 1997 after two and half years of his 'complete retirement' from the political world in September 1994. It is understood that this is the very period when Jiang Zemin carried out the succession of power from him. In the present study, I clarify social phenomena seen through forty-two jingles in this transitional period. They indicate that China has a deepening tendency of corruption not only among aristocratic communists but also in the whole society. The sensational suicide of Wang Baosen, an ex-deputy mayor of Beijing, shows us that corruption prevails among top leaders of the country as well. This study also reveals that morality on sex has deteriorated on the nationwide scale during these years.

Title Alternative On Mimicking as a Sequential Policy Implementation
FullText URL oer_029_2_001_023.pdf
Author Fujimoto, Toshimi|
Abstract The basic structure and functions of the so-called "mimicking" regime of macroeconomic policy-making are investigated here by using a simple one-instrument (money supply)-and-two-targets (inflation and employment) policy model composed of aggregate Lucas-type supply and ordinary demand functions in such a framework of 2-period sequential equilibrium analysis as Persson and Tabellini used, with a seemingly minor but consequently important change in one of the assumptions Persson and Tabellini posited. The assumption is the one concerned with the tough-type government's trade-off between the two targets, and the change is shown to result in a more economically interpretable criterion by which the weak-type can choose between pooling equilibrium with mimicking and separating one without it.

Abstract The purpose of this note is to present a proposition on a sort of duality relation concerning systems of nonlinear inequalities. A useful theorem due to A.W. Tucker(1956) on duality relations valid for systems of linear inequalities was partially generalized to systems of nonlinear inequalities in Fujimoto(1980), in which a given vector-valued mapping is assumed to be either pseudoconcave or homogeneous of a positive degree. Another partial extension of Tucker's result is made in Fujimoto-Ranade(1995), where the concavity of a given mapping is required. The assumption of concavity seems too strong in a model with externalities and variable returns, and so in this note a weaker assumption of pseudoconcavity is restored with an additional requirement.

Title Alternative Some Points of Issue on Decentralization
FullText URL oer_029_1_077_104.pdf
Author Sakamoto, Chuji|
Abstract This paper treats some points of issue on decentralization in governmental fiscal relations of Japan. In my last paper, I studied the interim report of the decentralization promoting committee which was published in March, 1996. On the 20th of December, 1996, the first report of this comittee appeared, and some concrete plans to classifY Kikanininjimu into 'jichi-jimu' and 'h6teijutaku-jimu' were proposed by this committee. In this paper, we investigate whether these plans of classification are proper or not. We also discuss the recent policy of communal unification proposed by a group of citizens, and point out some questions from the viewpoint of local autonomy and of decentralization. We admit the significance of this first report of the committee, and yet we have to emphasize again that the task of decentralization depends heavily on the reform to strengthen communal financial position.

Title Alternative A Comparison of part-time workers between Japan and Germany 1990
FullText URL oer_029_1_047_076.pdf
Author Wakisaka, Akira|
Abstract A comparison of part-time workers between Japan and Germany using comparable data 1990 shows that 1) German female part-time workers have long-tenured, 2) that tenure effect of German part-timers on wage and salaries is great, 3) that pay gap between female full-timers and part-timers in Germany is trivial, 4) that re-entry in labour markets as part-time workers after breaking periods has an adverse impact on their earnings, but the extent of adverse impacts in Germany is less than that of Japan.

Title Alternative The Network Domain and Structure
FullText URL oer_029_1_023_046.pdf
Author Enomoto, Satoru| Moriyama, Mitsuyoshi|
Abstract The network domain which can pursue competitive advantages in business activities is characterized by exclusiveness. This exclusiveness is defined by companies not accepting anyone other than their own company or affiliated companies. The domain is also characterized by differentiation. Its sources of differentiation are subjective, tacit, or unsystematic knowledge which are constructed by the special relationship of the autonomous and voluntary members being linked for a long time. In this paper, it is referred to as network specialized knowledge (NSK). In addition, the primary network can be seen as the autonomous linking of equal term members. However, the network view discussed here is not a static view requiring each member's relationship to be fixed on equal terms in order to be recognized as a network, but is observed as a dynamic view. In the latter case, even if each member's relational base is originally authority, each member's relationship consciously excludes restrictions according to the aspect. If we consider the network from the structure aspect, we can classify two types of structure: decentralized and strategic. The former is that in which authorities are consciously transferred. This type of structure is not outside the existing framework of affiliated companies, related companies, and so on. The latter, however, is outside the existing framework. Even if companies are in competition, they are linked by the need to carry out high level strategies and by the need to create value. They are highly interdependent in regards to managerial resources on equal terms which are not restricted by authority or imbalanced dependence of managerial resources.

Title Alternative Sentiments of Chinese Over-Stayers toward Japan
FullText URL oer_029_1_001_022.pdf
Author Oka, Masumi| Fukada, Hiromi|
Abstract As of May 1, 1996, there are more than 8,400 over-stayers from the visa status "college student", and there are also about 19,900 from the visa status "pre--college student". Chinese occupy 77.4% and 83.8% among them respectively. This means that Chinese students have a stronger tendency than those from the other countries to choose illegal stay in Japan after their student visas have expired. In the present study, we would like to clarify the features of Chinese over-stayers who were once students in Japan by making comparisons with the sentiments toward Japan of Chinese ex-students working in Japan, of college students, of vocational school students and of Japanese language school students. This paper reveals the following interesting facts. They have less satisfaction with their life in Japan and have less friendly feelings toward the Japanese society than Chinese workers and college students have. As a result, only 17.4% of them want to stay longer in Japan, while 65.2% wish to live in the U.S.A or other free countries and districts. Their financial conditions can also explain the above result. Their conditions are better than those oflanguage school students, but are worse than those of workers. Smaller income than their expectation might induce them to give up their illegal over-stay in Japan.
