This book discusses the concepts, types, models, and patterns of
Japan's Hometown Tax Donation Payment system, to provide a clear
picture of this newly developed unique and innovative fund-raising
tool used by municipalities. It also sheds light on the influences
that reciprocal gifts provided by each municipality to donors have
on local economies by reviewing empirical works and surveys
targeting local business owners and local financial institutions. A
distinguishing feature of the book is that it introduces a new
social finance mechanism that is unique to the Japanese market and
could provide policy implications for small and medium-sized
enterprises (SMEs) as well as regional development. Furthermore,
the book explores the efficacy of the demand-pull approach to
support-strengthening SMEs, especially in rural areas. Finally, the
book identifies some lessons learned from the system with a view
toward advancing research on this phenomenon and making the system
efficient and sustainable. As a whole, the book can provide ample
benefits to novices, academics, researchers, and policymakers
interested in Hometown Tax Donation Payment, an innovative social
finance tool. This is an open access book.
This book discusses the concepts, types, models, and patterns of
crowdfunding to provide a comprehensive portrait of this newly
developed market-based financial tool. In addition, it examines a
number of economic theories to help readers understand the
proliferation of crowdfunding, reviews empirical works to find gaps
in the literature, and outlines future research directions. A
unique feature of this book is that it discusses Japan's
crowdfunding approach, which is somewhat different from that of the
Western countries, by highlighting a specific crowdfunding platform
(Music Securities) and a crowdfund-backed firm (SABAR restaurant).
Further, it explores the suitability of Japan's crowdfunding
approach for addressing the financial needs of SMEs in developing
countries,using Bangladesh as a representative case. Finally, the
book identifies some lessons learned from crowd funding so as to
advance research into this phenomenon, and to make it efficient and
sustainable. As such, the book will benefit novices, academics,
researchers, and policymakers interested in crowdfunding
technology.
