A night scene of Tokyo, viewed from the direction of Tokyo Bay. There are about 1.5 million enterprises in Japan, and about one-fourth of their head offices are located in Tokyo and Osaka Prefecture. Economic Development After World War II, Japan achieved rehabilitation and high growth, eventually becoming the economy with the second largest GDP in the world in 1967. Subsequently, after overcoming two oil crises, Japan has remained the world's second largest economy. The following is a brief history of Japan's economic development. During the 1960s, Japan's economy grew at a rapid pace, exceeding 10 percent per annum. This rapid economic growth was supported by: (i) rapid expansion of capital investment in the private sector, backed by a high rate of personal savings; (ii) abundant supply of high-quality labor resulting from a large transfer of the working population from primary to secondary industries, along with high population growth; and (iii) growth in productivity driven by adopting and improving foreign technologies. From the late 1960s until the first half of the 1970s, new social problems emerged that reflected warps left by high economic development. As a result, steps to tackle environmental pollution, urban issues and social security problems became central targets of administrators, and countermeasures were taken.

Interview with Lester C. Thurow Lester C. Thurow is professor of management and economics at MIT and was recently Dean of the MIT Sloan School of Management. A graduate of Williams College, Thurow received his M.A. on a Rhodes scholarship from Ballioi College (Oxford) and his PhD in economics from Harvard University. He taught at Harvard in 1964-65 following a term as staff member on President Johnson’s Council of Economic Advisers. In addition to his academic appointment Thurow is vice president of the American Economics Association, author of the notable The Zero-Sum Society, and his latest book is Head to Head: The Coming Economic Battle Among Japan, Europe, and America. Aczel : Let’s start with something most timely that’s happening right now. In Chapter 6 of Head to Head you mention the possibilities in the Middle East with Israel possibly supplying technological know-how to the Arab states with oil and other products. With what’s happening just right now, how do you see Thurow Aczel: Let’s move to other places. How do you see what’s happening with NAFTA (North American Free Trade Agreement)-how do you see that developing? Do you see us becoming – this is a strange way to put it – but do you see North America becoming a cohesive common market in the sense the Europe is already? Thurow: Well, I think it’s going to be very hard to integrate Mexico and the United States because we’ve never tried to do it between countries that have such different income levels. If you look at the income difference on a per capita basis, say between Germany and Greece, which is the biggest difference in Europe, that’s a much smaller income gap than the gap between Mexico and the United States, and Greece is of course, a relatively small country compared to the rest of Europe. Mexico has 90 million people. It’s a very big country even in comparison with the United States and so I think the question about how you make this kind of integration move work smoothly There are going to be some losers on both sides, but so that it’s mostly winners on both sides, it’s going to take a lot of effort, a lot of management effort from government and a lot of people.

Newswatch Last Updated: Tuesday, 29 June, 2004, 07:27 GMT 08:27 UK E-mail this to a friend Printable version Mixed message for Japan's economy How bright is Japan's economy? A surprise slowdown in industrial output growth has raised doubts about the strength of Japan's recovery. The poor figures overshadowed positive jobs data, dented the yen and soured the mood in the stock market. According to the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, output rose 0.5% last month compared with 3.5% in April. While expressing disappointment at the slump, many observers said that they expected growth to continue, albeit at a less frantic pace. Boom time? Japan's economy expanded at an annualised rate of 6.1% in the first three months of this year, compared with 3.9% in the US. This is the first time the jobless rate has been on a declining trend since the bursting of the economic bubble Hiroshi Yokotani, Tokio Marine Asset Management "It looks like the momentum in production is fading after the steep rise that we had been seeing for some time," said Takehiro Sato, an economist at Morgan Stanley. "But this doesn't necessarily paint a bleak picture going forward." Japan has been benefiting from strong economic growth in Asia, and particularly in China.

The Washington-based lender forecast that Japan's gross domestic product would rise to 4.5% in 2004, topping a previous estimate of 3.4%. The IMF said the world's second biggest economy would see an end to price deflation by the end of the year. "There are clear indications that Japan's long-standing economic problems have eased," the IMF said. 'Recovery strengthens' The IMF said it expected Japan's consumer price index rate of inflation to fall 0.1% in 2004, with deflationary pressures "ebbing to zero" by the end of next year. "Deflationary pressures have eased, against the backdrop of a narrowing output gap and supportive monetary policy," the IMF said. "Recovery has strengthened and become more broadly based, while labour market conditions have improved," it added.

@import url("../epic.css"); Contact Us Help Search Canada Site ... Next Key Small Business Statistics - July 2005 What is the contribution of small businesses to Canada's exports? Exporting is vital to Canada's economy, accounting for more than 40% of GDP in recent years. Exports can be a driver of economic growth and are strongly correlated with real GDP growth. Furthermore, exporting can provide a strategically important means of growing a firm by expanding its market beyond the confines of Canada's relatively small domestic market. Before 2001, the Canadian Exporter Registry (which covers domestically produced merchandise and does not include services) tabulated data by value of exports, not by size of firm. According to this method, small exporters (defined as firms that export less than $1 million annually) only contributed 1.6% of the value of total exports in 2001. The implied conclusion was that small businesses do not make significant contributions to Canada's exports. New exporter profiles tabulated the data by number of employees for 2002. This new method showed that nearly 85% of Canadian exporters were small businesses (defined as enterprises with fewer than 100 employees). More importantly, small businesses were responsible for 20% of the total value of exports in 2002, with an average value of $2.3 million. Medium-sized businesses accounted for 15% of the total value of exports in 2002 with an average value of $11.8 million, while large businesses accounted for 64% with an average value of $194.5 million in exports. It is clear from the new data that small firms do make a significant contribution to Canada's exports.

98. TSR Preface This joint annual Trilateral Statistical Report contains a compilation of statisticsfrom In japan, economic activity appears to have stagnated in 2000, http://www.european-patent-office.org/tws/tsr_2000/

PREFACE This joint annual Trilateral Statistical Report contains a compilation of statistics from the European Patent Office (EPO), the Japan Patent Office (JPO) and the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO). It is also partially based on statistics from the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) in Geneva. Besides promoting a better understanding of the importance of patent rights in the world, its purpose is to facilitate an understanding of the operations of each office and to increase general awareness about the patent grant procedures of the three offices. The report is a supplement to the separate annual reports of each of the three offices, and is one of the fruits of trilateral cooperation. To gain some insight on the patent statistics and trends contained in this report, a general overview of the world economy is presented. However, interpreting worldwide patenting activity behavior in terms of economic developments is difficult because the exact relationships with the economic factors that influence the number of patent applications are not known. Political and technological considerations should also be taken into account. Global economic output in 2000 grew by an estimated 4.8 percent as reported by the International Monetary Fund (IMF). The world economy was much stronger in 2000 as compared to 1999 when it grew by 3.5 percent. A large part of the growth in 2000 occurred in the early part of the year. The world economy has actually been slowing since that time and a slowdown is expected to continue into the first half of 2001. However, the outlook for 2001 remains positive, and the IMF is projecting a 3.2 percent growth rate as of May 2001.

Forum South Asia Jan 8, 2005 Indians are just Yankee-doodle dandy By Priyanka Bhardwaj NEW DELHI - A study released last month by the US Census Bureau confirms what has been suspected for quite some time: that Indians are the best educated, highest-earning, youngest and most likely to be white collar workers among all major ethnic g roups in the United States, including native-born Americans. The study, titled "We the People: Asian Americans in the United States" and based on 2000 census results, highlights the enormous socio-economic mix of the 10 million Asian-Americans, of whom more than one-third live in California. In the past 10 years, the number of Asian-Americans has increased from 6.9 million, or 2.8% of the US population, in 1990 to 10.2 million, or 3.6%. If one were to take into account mixed race Asian-Americans, counted by the census for the first time in the year 2000, the population is 11.9 million, or 4.2% of the US population.
