Japan's Special Funds-Supplying Operations (Japan Gfc), Alec Buchholtz
Japan's Special Funds-Supplying Operations (Japan Gfc), Alec Buchholtz
Journal of Financial Crises
Following the collapse of Lehman Brothers in September 2008, the global commercial paper (CP) market began to tighten as interest rates rose and investors sought more-liquid money market securities.

The BOJ would provide one- to three-month loans against an equal value of eligible corporate debt at a rate …

Japan As A Clean Energy Leader, Stefan N. Norbom
Japan As A Clean Energy Leader, Stefan N. Norbom
Gettysburg Economic Review
Over the past several decades, Japan’s energy strategy had positioned it as the world’s leader in clean and efficient electricity production and usage. This strategy, heavily dependent on nuclear energy, was essentially destroyed by one of history’s largest earthquakes, followed by a tsunami which overwhelmed five nuclear reactors on March 11, 2011. As of April 2012, all of Japan’s 54 nuclear reactors have been shut down and it is uncertain when and how many may be restarted. This paper examines Japan’s options for crafting a new way forward with an energy policy to power the world’s third largest economy while …

Comparison Of China And Japan’S Economic Development In The Semiconductor Industry, Rundong Ke
Senior Projects Spring 2012
While Japan marked its success in surpassing the U.S. to dominate the semiconductor industry in 1986, the Chinese semiconductor industry transformed from a small sector into a global competitor. This thesis tracks and compares the developmental histories of this industry between China and Japan and analyzes the differences in government policy, economic systems, comparative advantage and trade policy in both countries, in order to ascertain the two countries’ industrial development strategies and governments’ impacts on the semiconductor industry. This analysis finds that Japan’s development strategy targeted a knowledge- and capitalintensive industry (semiconductor industry, in this case) by providing preferential assistances …
