Etsuko Katsu (Meiji University Tokyo)

Abstract:

In her presentation at the workshop on ‘Abenomics and the Transmission Mechanisms of Economic Policy’ at SOAS University of London, Etsuko Katsu discusses characteristics of cooperate governance in Japan from a historical perspective in order to highlight recent changes in the system.

The workshop on ‘Abenomics and the Transmission Mechanisms of Economic Policy’ was held to review Japan’s monetary policy against the background of Shinzō Abe’s recent re-election that indicates a continuation of present policies. Both, fiscal and monetary policies have been taken to great lengths in Japan and stand out in comparison to the experiences of other industrialised economies.
