Opis

Making Fiscal Policy in Japan is written for those who want to understand the role and performance of fiscal policy as an integral component of macroeconomic policy, and the attendant effects on economic growth. The case explored here is post-Second World War Japan, but the approach is one of international comparison.

Recenzje

The book excels in two tasks. The first section does a nice job of contextualizing Japan's fiscal policy within its experience of rapid post-war growth. More importantly, the book provides a clear description of Japan's complicated fiscal system, which includes a variety of special accounts, revenue sources, and intergovernmental transfers ... delivered in a clear and rigorous manner.
