Competition in Japan
研究日本竞争程度与战后经济繁荣的关系,发现国际成功行业内部竞争激烈,而受限制的行业国际表现不佳;当前竞争加剧但经济复苏仍受扭曲阻碍。
This article examines competition in Japan and its link to postwar economic prosperity. While Japan's industrial structure and competition policy seem to indicate that competition in Japan has been less intense, the empirical evidence does not support this conclusion. The sectors in which competition was restricted prove to be those where Japan was not internationally successful. In the internationally successful sectors, internal competition in Japan was invariably fierce. While the level of competition in Japan is currently rising, economic recovery is still hindered by distortions in the competition in many industries.
