• OPEC’s oil price hike was the main cause.
Aggressive wage hikes also contributed.

• Major central banks expanded money to

Bretton Woods World Dollar Standard
• USA as the center country providing price stability to the world (“benign
neglect”: US to mind domestic affairs only); all other countries set “parities”
against US$ (“adjustable peg”).
Gold=US$=other currencies
• 1950s-early 60s: American prices were stable; BW system achieved high
growth & price stability globally.
• Mid 60s-early 70s: US began to inflate & US$ was under downward
pressure (war in Vietnam, social welfare, space race with USSR).
• Gold=US$ link broken (1968); US$=other currencies link broken (1971-73:
Nixon Shock). Floating exchange rates began.

High Growth & Inequality
 Japan, Korea and Taiwan narrowed internal income
gaps (personal, sectoral, regional); but in China,
Thailand, Philippines, Indonesia, Vietnam, etc. income
became polarized during high growth.
 To sustain growth and achieve high income, three
policies are needed. In principle, they can be executed
separately—cf. “pro-poor growth,” “inclusive growth”
(1) Industrial policy—creation of growth sources
(2) Social policy—coping with new problems caused by
high growth: income gaps, pollution, migration, traffic,
congestion, crime & corruption, cultural change…
(3) Macroeconomic management under globalization—
coping with global business cycles, price shocks, huge
and unstable capital flows

Sharing of Fruits of Growth between Rich &
Poor, Urban & Rural, Industry & Agriculture
• Japan around 1960s—direct (income) tax for redistribution,
rural-urban labor migration, SME support, fiscal policy in favor
of rural areas (public investment, agro subsidy & protection,
regional development plans, etc.); household Gini coef.: 0.31
(1963), 0.25 (1970)
• Korea around 1970s—Saemaul (New Village) Movement for
invigorating and improving rural life and production; regional
income gaps were small and even narrowed; regional Gini coef:
0.16 (1971), 0.08 (1981), 0.06 (1991)
• Taiwan 1960s-80s—Strong export-led growth driven by
vigorous SMEs
• Indonesia—Gini coefficient 0.32 in 1990, 0.33 in 2002, 0.41 in
2012.
The Japan System: Delayed Reform?
PP.190-91
• After catch-up industrialization, Japan should have
changed its system in the 1970s
Long-term relations
Official intervention
Open markets
Private initiative
• However, large macro shocks (oil shocks, floating,
stagflation, trade disputes) diverted policy makers’
attention from structural issues.
• As a result, the Japanese economy continues to be
over-regulated even today.
Opposing view:
• Don’t copy US financial capitalism—trust, stability,
equity, patience, teamwork should be maintained.
The 1940 Regime: Farewell to the War
Economy by Yukio Noguchi (1995)
• I would like to advance the hypothesis that the key
components of the Japanese economy today were created
during the war.
• The 1940 Regime--(i) production-first; (ii) suppression
of competition, (iii) social policies to reduce friction
• These alien systems were implanted to execute total war
(enterprise system, finance, bureaucracy, land reform)
and they continued as systemic core even after the war.
• They worked well for high growth, but not for coping
with change. Deregulation and consumer-oriented
society cannot be realized unless this regime is removed.
Kaikaku Gyakuso (Reform in
Reverse) by Hiroko Ota, GRIPS (2010)
• Prof. Ota was the Minister of Economy and Fiscal Policy
during 2006-2008 (serving PM Abe and PM Fukuda),
promoting economic deregulation and fiscal discipline.
• The Democratic Party government (2009-2012) has
reversed the economic reform and reintroduced past
policies that do not work any more:
– Fiscal activism & random subsidies leading to fiscal
crisis
– Economic deregulation was slowed down or reversed.
Mercantilist Pressure on Surplus Countries
Komiya (1994), McKinnon-Ohno (1997), McKinnon (2005)
When a country emerges as a new industrial power, it is often
criticized for unfair trade practice and an undervalued currency.
Trade and exchange pressures mount. But the trade gap cannot be
eliminated by currency appreciation or trade liberalization.
Ronald McKinnon
PP.191-94
Elasticities Approach vs. Absorption Approach
in Financially Open Economies
Conventional view (elasticities approach)
• Exchange rate adjustment can reduce Japan’s trade surplus and
US trade deficit.
Fred Bergsten, W. Cline (IIE, Washington)
Krugman—the Mass. Ave. Model: Imports = f (yt, rert-2)
Friedman, Krugman— “daylight saving time” argument for currency float
Our unconventional view (syndrome of the ever-higher yen)
• Thanks to wrong economics and Washington lobbying, the yendollar rate was manipulated for mercantile purposes.
• But yen appreciation could not reduce Japan’s surplus and US
deficit, because it was structural (US savings < US investment).
The real solution was increasing US savings.
Current account = Y – A = S – I
• Intermittent yen appreciation only destabilized the Japanese
economy through recession, deflation and depressed interest rates.

“Endaka fukyo” or

--Countries with large foreign
exchange inflows often buy up USD
to resist currency appreciation
--However, having too much foreign
reserves may cause:
--Excess liquidity and bubbles
--Unbalanced asset position
--Exchange risk

“Original sin” (inability to borrow in home currency)
• Developing countries that borrow in USD face
exchange risks in trade and debt payments. This may
lead to higher risk premium, higher interest rates,
balance-sheet mismatches, and the possibility of
currency crisis.
“Conflicted virtue” (inability to lend in home currency)
• Any high-saving country that lends in USD faces (i)
exchange risk on accumulated foreign assets, both
private and public; and (ii) accusation of unfair trade
and pressure to appreciate the currency by deficit
countries (esp. US)
• If the leading economy (US) is the largest lender, this
problem does not arise. In fact, it is now the largest
borrower.

The 1955 Regime (LDP political dominance)
• The Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) formed in 1955,
held power until now (except 1993-96, 2009-12)
• Securing rural votes by subsidizing agriculture and
building rural infrastructure (firmly established by
PM Kakuei Tanaka 1972-74).
• LDP had many factions and zoku-giin groups
(politicians promoting subsidies in particular sectors)
• Opposition parties were too weak
to challenge LDP’s rule.
