This book is one of the first comprehensive works to fill the
knowledge gap resulting from the limited number of empirical
studies on interfirm networks. The in-depth empirical research
presented here is based on a massive transaction relationship
database of approximately 400,000 Japanese firms. This volume,
unlike others, focuses on the role of interfirm networks in three
different fields: (1) macroeconomic activities, (2) economic
geography and firm dynamics, and (3) firm-bank relationships. The
database for this work is constructed in collaboration with Japan's
largest credit research company, Teikoku Data Bank, and covers a
substantial portion of Japanese firms with information on firms'
transaction partners, shareholders, financial institutions, and
other attributes, including their locations and performance.
Networks prevail in many aspects of economic activities and play a
major role in explaining a wide variety of economic phenomena from
business cycles to knowledge spillovers, which has motivated
economists to produce a number of excellent works. In the policy
arena, there has been a growing concern on the vulnerabilities of
networks based on the casual observation that idiosyncratic shocks
on firms can be amplified through inter-firm connections and leads
to a systemic crisis. Typical examples are the manufacturing
supply-chain networks in the automobile and electronics industries
which propagated regionally concentrated shocks (the Great East
Japan Earthquake and floods in Thailand in 2011) into global ones.
An abundance of theoretical literature on the formation and
functions of networks is available already. This book breaks new
ground, however, and provides an excellent opportunity for the
reader to gain a more integrated understanding of the role of
networks in the economy. The Economics of Interfirm Networks will
be of special interest to economists and practitioners seeking
empirical and quantitative knowledge on interfirm and firm-bank
networks.
