This book was released on 2017-07-06 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book, originally published in 1993, develops for the US automobile industry a demand-supply model which incorporates both wholesale and retail sectors and which allows strategic pricing behaviour of US and Japanese producers to be internally determined and its effects on market behaviour and national welfare analyzed. It develops the framework for and presents the results of an econometric simulation of the transaction and wholesale prices, quantities demanded and produced, manufacturer's costs and factor demands. The impact of the Voluntary Export Restraint of 1981 on profits and consumer welfare are generated from the simulation results.

This book was released on 2006-06-01 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While increased competition may generate economic efficiency and push employee compensation to market rates, it may also help reduce differential treatment for protected groups such as women, minorities, and the disabled. This book presents the most comprehensive body of empirical evidence on the connection between the product market and the extent of discrimination in labor markets. The contributors look at data from the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, and Hong Kong in order to explore the product market's influence on discrimination against the disabled, the role of deregulation in creating competition and altering racial employment patterns, and the influence of privatization on public employees' earnings. Nuanced analyses, using best practice econometrics, lead the contributors to conclude that while competition helps equalize treatment of employees, it does not eliminate discrimination.
Download or read book Regulatory Reform and Labor Markets written by James Peoples and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 399 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Regulatory reform represents a major shift in the government's role toward price determination in the transportation and telecommunication industries. The resulting policy emphasizes dependence on market forces to set prices and to encourage efficient production techniques. While extensive research investigates the influence of deregulation on prices, profits and productivity, the effect on labor markets has not received the same scrutiny. Firms in these industries are of major importance to business operations in other industries because they provide the critical services of transporting goods and transmitting information. This may partly explain such extensive research on the product market aspects of regulatory reform. Examining labor markets in the transportation and telecommunications industries is also highly warranted, as historically these industries represented some of the most heavily unionized sectors in the economy. The extent to which regulatory reform has encouraged product market competition may not necessarily result in the same degree of competition across industries. Regulatory Reform and Labor Markets debates the notion that research on regulatory reform and labor markets should develop within the framework of the competitive model. This is achieved by presenting diverging views on wage and employment determination in distinctly different deregulated industries.

This book was released on 1984-01-01 with total page 251 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report was prepared for the Policy Board by the U.S. and Japanese research staffs of the Joint U.S.–Japan Automotive Study under the general direction of Professors Paul W. McCracken and Keichi Oshima, with research operations organized and coordinated by Robert E. Cole on the U.S. side, in close communication with the Taizo Yakushiji on the Japanese side. [preface] In view of the importance of stable, long-term economic relationships between Japan and the United States, automotive issues have to be dealt with in ways consistent with the joint prosperity of both countries. Furthermore, the current economic friction has the potential to adversely affect future political relationships. Indeed, under conditions of economic stagnation, major economic issues inevitably become political issues. With these considerations in mind, the Joint U.S.–Japan Automotive Study project was started in September 1981 to determine the conditions that will allow for the prosperous coexistence of the respective automobile industries. During this two-year study, we have identified four driving forces that will play a major role in determining the future course of the automotive industry of both countries. These are: (1) consumers’ demands and aspirations vis-à-vis automobiles; (2) flexible manufacturing systems (FMS); (3) rapidly evolving technology; and (4) the internationalization of the automotive industry.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores how Japan balances her internal political economy with the external process of internationalisation by examining the following aspects of Japanese economic development planning: industrial policies and financial system; political economy in relation to the otherAsian countries; role in the global economy; and structural changes to Japan's post-Cold War economic development. This new edition tackles the problems and issues for Japan in the post-Sep 11 period, the election of Koizumi as prime minister, and the entry of China into the WTO. the author suggests that Japan may need to be more involved in the East Asian political economy at a time when the United States is more and more involved in the war against terrorism.

Already for over a decade Japanese exporters were fighting against the unwelcome influence of the rising yen on their business. But in order to understand the phenomenon of super-endaka the reader must go back in time to New York, September 1985. In September 1985 the finance ministers of the world’s largest capitalistic economies – Britain, France, West Germany, Japan and the US - met at New York’s Plaza Hotel to discuss the development of the dollar relative to the yen. As a strong dollar had led in the early 80s to an increase in the US trade deficit followed by a strong inflow of foreign capital, protectionist theories started developing both in Republican and Democratic camps. Thus, all participants shared a growing interest in lowering the value of the dollar relative to the yen as this movement would eliminate the U.S. / Japan trade imbalance and lessen protectionist demands. This development would suit everyone because it would finally result in higher exports not only for Japan but also for all other countries. In order to make this happen, all countries agreed to coordinate an intervention into their respective foreign exchange markets. Japan’s government was said to have exchanged $3 billion for the yen in the New York and Tokyo markets the very next day. Shoichior Toyoda, president of the Toyota Motor Corporation, compared the first anniversary of the Plaza Accord to Isshuki - Japanese for the first anniversary of someone’s death- and called it the birthplace of Endaka - Japanese for a high yen. In 1985 the $ traded at yen 240, one year later to Yen 150.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the University of Michigan Center for Japanese Studies reflected on the deteriorating position of the domestic auto industry in the fall of 1980, and the strong competitive threat being posed by the Japanese automakers, we were struck by the extraordinary low quality of the public discussion of these critical issues. The national importance of the issues seemed only matched by the superficiality of the analyses being offered. The tendency to think in terms of scapegoats was particularly evident. The Japanese as the basic cause of our problems has been a particularly notable theme. To be sure, cooperation with the Japanese in formulating a rational overall trade policy may be an important part of the solution. It has also been fashionable to blame it all on American auto industry management for not concentrating on the production of small cars when "everyone knew" that was the thing to do. Alternatively, government meddling was blamed for all our problems. Clearly, the complex problem we faced required more penetrating analyses. It seemed therefore, that the time was ripe for a public seminar which moved beyond the rhetoric of the moment and probed some of the deeper causes of our problems and possible directions for future policy. In holding the January 1981 auto conference, the Center took it as their task to begin addressing the critical issues facing the industry, with particular, but not exclusive, attention to examining the role of the Japanese auto industry. They had in mind not to simply conduct a rational discussion of the trade issue but to probe the sources of Japanese competitive strength, especially those features whose study might profit them. In these proceedings, they bring those discussions to a wider audience. Question and answer sessions at the conference were necessarily short and a few speakers delivered abbreviated remarks; this volume restores a number of omissions, and provides additional answers to some pertinent questions put by the audience. The Center hopes to encourage the serious problem-solving these complex issues demand. Far too much time has been spent trying to fix the blame. [intro]

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Can intervention by the Bank of Japan on the yen/dollar rates be used as a strategic policy to promote Japanese exports to the U.S. markets? We develop theoretical models based on strategic trade policy literature to explain possible impacts on U.S. automobiles. During the last decade, the changes of yen/dollar rates have coincided with dramatic market-share gains by Japanese automakers in the U.S. market. In the meantime, intervention by the Bank of Japan on the yen/dollar market has reached a record high. Our models assume interventions have two channels to influence U.S./Japan trade. First, we hypothesize that official currency manipulation by the Bank of Japan was implemented as a means to subsidize Japanese. The second channel resulted from the relationship between the expectation of an unavoidable foreign exchange rate appreciation and automobile purchase behavior of U.S. consumers. We assembles the famous "peso problem" in international finance. By preventing the prompt appreciation of JPY using intervention strategy, we argue that intervention by the Bank of Japan create a notion of unavoidable appreciation of JPY rate. This prompts U.S. consumers to purchase cars earlier. We explore the effects of intervention of Bank of Japan on the changes of sale volume and market shares of U.S. and Japan automakers and the results show that the sale volume and market share of American automakers decrease while these of Japanese automakers increase. Empirical results also indicate that U.S. consumers tend to purchase more Japanese automobiles when the Yen's appreciation is withheld temporary level they have expected. After comparisons, we conclude that interventions by the Bank of Japan affect American automakers through cost disadvantage and Japanese automakers through another channel. Results also imply that the effects of intervention on Japan/U.S. trade lie more through the channel of cost subsidy.
