GDP
After the bubble
burst, real growth
rose in 1996-97,
2000, 2003-07, 2010
& 2012-13.
Economy fell hard
in 2008-09 due to
Lehman Shock,
which had greater
macroeconomic
impact than the
earthquake &
tsunami.

PP.202-203
Heisei Bubble (Economic Boom in late 1980s)
Causes
• Structural—bank deregulation and the loss of large
corporate borrowers in the early 1980s led banks to
overlend to risky borrowers (SMEs, real estate
developers) without proper risk management.
• Monetary—as the yen rose sharply in 1985, the Bank
of Japan injected liquidity to counter it and ease endaka
fukyo (high-yen caused recession). This led to asset
bubbles without igniting inflation.
Consequences
Excess investment in properties, over-expansion in
capacity, lavish consumption, rise in outward FDI

Lost Decade (or Lost Two Decades)
Why Did Recession Last So Long since Early 1990s?
•
•
•
•
Long adjustment after a large asset bubble
Non-performing loans (late policy response)
Japan’s economic system became obsolete (*maybe)
Aging population and associated problems (pension,
medical care, dissaving, etc) (*)
• Snowballing fiscal debt (*)
• People’s lack of confidence in the future or policy (*)
• Rise of China & other emerging economies (*)
Lack of political leadership to propose solutions,
convince people, and implement actions
(*) True even today
Shocks & Intermittent Recovery, 2003-2012
Main causes of recovery (2003-2007)
– Strong foreign demand (US, China)
– Decade-long corporate restructuring effort
– Yen depreciation (up to 2007)
Lehman Shock and global recession (late 2008-2009)
– Traditional industrial exports (cars, electronics) which were
leading recovery suddenly lost export markets.
– Thanks to strong demand in China and other emerging
economies, growth picked up in 2010
Earthquake & tsunami (2011) and Euro Shock (2011-)
• Production fell temporarily in 2011 due to supply chain
disruption and depressed psychology, but recovered soon due to
the start of vigorous reconstruction investment.
• Recovery was fragile due to global recession (slowdown of
emerging economies), yen appreciation, power shortage, etc.
Earthquake & Nuclear Disaster in 2011
Economic Impact and Issues
• Estimated stock damage from earthquake was 16.9 trillion yen
(3.6% of GDP). (In 1995, Kobe earthquake’s damage was 9.9
trillion yen or 2.0% of GDP)
• Earthquake recovery budget is 19 trillion yen (over 5 years, 4.0%
of GDP) to 23 trillion yen (ultimately, 4.9% of GDP). This does
not include costs related to nuclear disaster. (In 1995, Kobe
earthquake recovery budget was 3 trillion yen or 0.6% of GDP).
• Debate over funding: tax increase, debt issue or cutting spending
incl. professors’ salaries and education budget (small saving?)
But fiscal problem is mainly caused by social welfare explosion
and not by earthquake.
• DPJ’s handling of reconstruction plan, radiation problem, power
shortage & future energy policy was random and inconsistent.
• Growth impact of earthquake is almost neutral: supply disruption
is offset by private & public investment for recovery.
Policy Issues for the Bank of Japan
PP.207-210
Coping with non-performing loans – taking 10 years
--Jusen problem: failure of nonbanks specializing in real estate
loans (1995-96)
--Bankruptcies of Yamaichi Securities & Hokkaido Takushoku
Bank: credit crunch and mini bank runs (1997-98)
--Bank recapitalization: public money injection, creation of
Financial Services Agency (1998-2000)
Monetary policy for recovery – unsuccessful?
--Injecting liquidity by buying up unconventional assets
(corporate & bank bonds, etc): but the monetary transmission
mechanism was broken (MBMoneyLending)
--Zero interest rate policy (Feb.1999-Aug.2000; Mar.2001Jul.2006; Dec.2008-)
--Inflation targeting not adopted until 2013
--Abenomics: “New Dimension of Monetary Expansion” (BOJ
Kuroda, April 2013-)—but is it really new?

Debate on Fiscal Stimuli
PP.211-212
• Since the 1990s, large fiscal spending has been used to
stimulate the economy. But there was no strong and sustained
recovery, while the government debt skyrocketed.
• Seeing this, some argued for even bigger stimuli; others said
that more fiscal activism would only worsen the debt crisis.
• PM Koizumi (2001-06) set limits on spending (infrastructure,
welfare), with small results.
• PM Aso (2008-) and DPJ
(2009-12) returned to big
spending.
• Consumption tax will be
Bubble burst
raised in steps:
5%8%(2014)10%(2016?)
• 2nd Abe Gov’t (2012-) turned
to aggressive fiscal policy.
