This work represents an objective study of Japanese economics since 1945 based on statistical data and analysis. It represents a concise summary of Japanese economics in both the academy and policy making. Its international comparative approach considers Japanese economics in relation to that in America and Korea. It reveals that in the years following World War II, economists in Japan were involved in several fields: not only mathematical economic but also non-mathematical, policy argument and historical research. Japanese economics is proven to have been influential on the international scene more in terms of theoretical and mathematical economics than in terms of the study of economic policies. Japanese Marxian economists in particular, have made substantial contributions to the study of economic thought and Japanese economists since 1945 have significantly influenced policy makers in their advice giving and teaching roles.

This collection supplies fascinating insights into aspects of East Asian economic development. It will interest scholars in a variety of related fields and provoke further research and debate.

Few economists have been as prolific and wide-ranging as Takashi Negishi. Part of the "Hicksian" generation of Neo-Walrasian general equilibrium theorists, Negishi rose to prominence during the early 1960s with his work on the Neo-Walrasian system. Negishi's signature has been his attempt to extend the multi-market Neo-Walrasian system in several directions to incorporate concerns such as imperfect comptetition, stability, money, trade and unemployment - and, as a consequence, helping to discover and delineate the limits of conventional theory. This collection in honour of Takashi Negishi analyses his contributions to the history of economic theory. Economists paying tribute within this volume include Neri Salvadori, Laurence Moss, and Joaquim Silvestre.

East Asia is an area now attracting much interest internationally, not least because of the growing economic importance of the region. Taking economic development and the international environment in twentieth century East Asia as its major theme, the volume presents native views of the historical changes and transitions which have occurred in East Asia since the nineteenth century. Looking at the introduction of Western ideas to East Asia and the pursuit of cultural identity, the volume examines the ideals, conflicts and strategy in East Asia during the 1920's and 1930's. Including many papers from Asian scholars, this collection supplies fascinating insights into aspects of East Asian economic development which will interest scholars in a variety of related fields and provoke further research and debate.

Japanese economists began publishing scientific papers in renowned journals including Econometrica in the 1950s and made significant contributions to the sophistication of general equilibrium analysis by an intensive use of a variety of mathematical instruments. They contributed significantly to the transformation of neoclassical economics. This book examines how it became possible for Japanese economists to do so by shedding light on the "professional" discussion of the international gold standard and parity policies in the early twentieth century, the acceptance of "mathematical economics" in the following period, the impact of the establishment of the Econometric Society (1930) and the swift distribution of theory-oriented economics journals since 1930. This book also includes topics on the historical research of the Japanese foundations of modern economics, the transformation of the economics of Keynes into Keynesian economics, Japanese developments in econometrics, and Martin Bronfenbrenner's visit to Japan in the post-World War II period. This book provides insight into the economic research done by Japanese scholars in the international context. It traces how, during the period 1900-60, economics was harmonized with mathematics and a standard economics was reshaped on the basis of mathematics thanks to economists' appetite for rigor; and it will help to contribute to existing literature.

In this book, leading Japanese scholars present an objective study of Japanese economics since 1945, based on statistical data and analysis. The first half of the book assesses the impact and influence of Japanese economics within the international academy, demonstrating the increasingly important contribution of Japanese approaches to theoretical and mathematical economics. Part Two investigates the impact of Japanese economics on policy-making, dissecting the formulation of the famous 'industrial structure policy', and comparing Japanese economics with American and Korean models. Presenting a wealth of original empirical data, and a new perspective on international economic theory, this book will be of interest to historians, theoreticians and policy-makers alike.
