This book was released on 2003-10-01 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper presents a framework for quantitatively evaluating the macroeconomic effects of corporate restructuring and applies it to Japan. Using firm-level financial statement data, it estimates total factor productivity (TFP) of individual Japanese firms. Given the estimated distribution of productivity across firms, the paper simulates the effect of optimal restructuring, that is, reallocation of resources from less-productive firms to more-productive ones, on the dynamic path of aggregate output. The results show that the benefits of restructuring could substantially exceed the costs.
Book Synopsis Corporate Restructuring and Its Macro Effects by : Mr.Jongsoon Shin
Download or read book Corporate Restructuring and Its Macro Effects written by Mr.Jongsoon Shin and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2017-01-27 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper describes issues in Korea’s corporate sector, the need for restructuring, and the authorities’ initiatives and challenges. It then identifies lessons from other countries’ experience and conducts an econometric analysis based on cross-country aggregate data, compared with previous studies which mostly use firm-level data. This analysis finds that restructuring episodes, while sometimes challenging in the short term, have typically been associated with more rapid economic growth afterward. Corporate restructuring could have a negative effect on the labor and the financial markets in the short term, but is associated with positive growth through increased investment and capital productivity in the medium term, outpacing the negative effects.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The implementation of the Commercial Rehabilitation Law (CRL) on April 1, 2000 was considered a key event in setting up the official infrastructure supporting corporate restructuring in Japan. This study evaluates the stock price impact of restructuring announcements before and after the CRL implementation using event-study analysis. Following the CRL implementation, the results suggest an improvement in market credibility of restructuring announcements based on improvements in disclosure, mergers, and to a lesser extent, labor force reductions. In contrast, credibility of restructuring announcements aimed at reducing excess capital deteriorated.
Book Synopsis Japan's Lost Decade by : Mr.Tim Callen
Download or read book Japan's Lost Decade written by Mr.Tim Callen and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2003-02-13 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Japan’s weak economic performance in the 1990s has had implications not only for its own people, but for the world economy more generally, given Japan’s importance as a trading partner and supplier of capital. Therefore, it is essential that Japan unlock its growth potential. The IMF has worked with the Japanese authorities to identify the policies needed to bring Japan’s economy out of its recent slump. This book contributes to this ongoing debate, whose major topics include the need for an integrated policy strategy based on the decisive restructuring of the banking and corporate sectors, combined with macroeconomic policies designed to bring an end to deflation.
Book Synopsis Post-Bubble Blues by : Mr.Tamim Bayoumi
Download or read book Post-Bubble Blues written by Mr.Tamim Bayoumi and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2000-03-09 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What caused Asia's largest economy, once the envy of the world, to lag behind many of the other industrial countries? And why did it take so long for Japan to recover from the bursting of its asset price bubble of the late 1980s? In this volume, a team from the International Monetary Fund examines the causes of the lingering economic problems of Japan, the crisis in its banking system, the reasons for weak business investment, and the government's efforts to kick-start the economy through a series of stimulus packages. This book presents a compelling story about Japan's economy. Its message - that banking reform and corporate restructuring are central to any sustained revival of the economy- is backed up through detailed background research. This research provided the analytical framework for the IMF's policy advice during a period of rapid change--a period during which macroeconomic policymaking moved into uncharted territory. The research papers were prepared by members of the Japan team in the IMF during 1998 and the first half of 1999.
Book Synopsis “Lost Decade” in Translation - What Japan’s Crisis could Portend about Recovery from the Great Recession by : Mr.Murtaza H. Syed
Download or read book “Lost Decade” in Translation - What Japan’s Crisis could Portend about Recovery from the Great Recession written by Mr.Murtaza H. Syed and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2009-12-01 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Is the recovery from the global financial crisis now secured? A strikingly similar crisis that stalled Japan's growth miracle two decades ago could provide some clues. This paper explores the parallels and draws potential implications for the current global outlook and policies. Japan's experiences suggest four broad lessons. First, green shoots do not guarantee a recovery, implying a need to be cautious about the outlook. Second, financial fragilities can leave an economy vulnerable to adverse shocks and should be resolved for a durable recovery. Third, well-calibrated macroeconomic stimulus can facilitate this adjustment, but carries increasing costs. And fourth, while judging the best time to exit from policy support is difficult, clear medium-term plans may help.
Book Synopsis Reviving Japan's Economy by : Takatoshi Itō
Download or read book Reviving Japan's Economy written by Takatoshi Itō and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2005 with total page 452 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Analysis and policy prescriptions for Japan's sustained economic recovery from its 14-year malaise by 15 top American and Japanese experts on the subject. Japan, the world's second largest economy, has suffered from a prolonged period of stagnation and malaise since 1991. Subpar growth, failing banks, plummeting real estate and stock prices, deflation, unprecedented unemployment, and huge government liabilities have persisted, despite extraordinary fiscal and monetary policy fixes. In Reviving Japan's Economy, 16 top American and Japanese experts analyze Japan's underperforming economy, and develop and recommend policy solutions aimed at achieving Japan's growth potential, improving the quality of life for the Japanese people, and strengthening Japan's contribution to the global economy. A collaborative effort that grew out of a research project begun in 2002 and sponsored by the Center on Japanese Economy and Business at Columbia University and the Research Center for Advanced Science and Technology at the University of Tokyo, the book looks to the future while having as its foundation a careful analysis of Japan's recent economic history. The contributing authors examine such topics as the long-term economic, demographic, social, and political transformation now underway in Japan; the costs of the long economic malaise; lessons for the United States from Japan's post-bubble mistakes; aggregate demand and macroeconomic policy; monetary policy; financial system difficulties; issues facing the Japanese labor market; corporate restructuring and financing; and Japan's new trade policy. The feasible, optimal policy solutions offered in this book aim to prompt a revival of Japan's long-run economic vitality.
Book Synopsis The Decline in Bank-Led Corporate Restructuring in Japan by : Takeo Hoshi
Download or read book The Decline in Bank-Led Corporate Restructuring in Japan written by Takeo Hoshi and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Using a unique dataset on all major corporate restructuring events in Japan between 1981 and 2010, we examine how bank-led rescue operations in Japan have changed over time. The incidence of restructuring by distressed firms has become less frequent after the 1990s. When firms undergo restructuring, they adopt real adjustments in terms of labor, assets and finance, but the intensity of these adjustments has also declined over time. In line with existing research, we interpret these findings as strong indicators of changing corporate governance in Japan, in particular in terms of the decline in corporate monitoring functions of main banks.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Japan's first decade of the twenty-first century is often called the second lost decade, following the post-bubble lost decade of the 1990s, characterized by policy paralysis and overall lackluster economic growth. For those studying Japan more closely, however, the same decades reveal nothing short of a broad transformation in numerous core tenets of Japan's postwar political economy. How can we best capture this transformation? Each chapter in this volume examines a different aspect of Japan's political economy within a longer historical trajectory, from multiple angles, to depict a flexible but resilient system. They include: a comprehensive overview of the political economy; Japan's financial system; corporate reorganization; the politics of reform; small and medium enterprises and the labor market; compensation systems; and foreign multinational corporations. The editors characterize Japan's process of change as syncretism--practices foreign, domestic, old and new were selectively adopted, mixed and matched, along the way creating a new and unique hybrid system.
Book Synopsis Corporate Restructuring in Japan by : Kotaro Inoue
Download or read book Corporate Restructuring in Japan written by Kotaro Inoue and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 37 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first comprehensive study to empirically analyze the economics of private (out-of-court) debt restructurings of financially distressed Japanese companies spanning the period from the burst of the bubble economy of Japan in 1990 to the time when the excessive bad debt problems of major firms were recognized as resolved in March 2005 on the basis of the stock prices of more than 200 restructurings. In Japan the mechanism of corporate monitoring is not market based (shareholder and public bondholder based) but large-investor based (large stakeholder based)typically, banks and affiliated companies. These stakeholders are expected to efficiently resolve potential bankruptcy or collapse with better information resulting from their long-term relationship with the distressed firms. In contrast, however, this study finds that out-of-court restructurings led by banks or affiliated companies failed to gain the trust of the market because of their procrastinations in implementing fundamental solutions; and therefore, there is a need for third-party monitoring. Compared to the analysis of out-of-court settlements in the United States by Gilson et al. (1990), this study finds that agreements on out-of-court restructuring in Japan are attained more easily than in the United States. However, without third-party mediation, no fundamental changes can be expected from the restructurings. This forbearance by banks and affiliated companies in addressing the needs of distressed firms indicates the weakness of banks and affiliated companies in instituting discipline among themselves, thereby showing the importance of instituting a system to quot;monitor the monitorquot.
Book Synopsis Japan by : International Monetary Fund

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Macroeconomic policy support and structural reforms have helped to bring about the economic recovery in Japan. Initiating a public process to obtain consensus on a credible strategy for eventual fiscal consolidation would help to raise confidence in long-term growth prospects and reduce the risks of volatile financial market conditions. A premature appreciation of the yen not justified by improving fundamentals remains a concern. Important progress has been made in strengthening major banks balance sheets and allaying concerns about financial instability.

This book was released on 2004-11-23 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper tests uncovered interest parity (UIP) using interest rates on longer maturity bonds for the Group of Seven countries. These long-horizon regressions yield much more support for UIP—all of the coefficients on interest differentials are of the correct sign, and almost all are closer to the UIP value of unity than to zero. The paper also analyzes the decision by a government facing electoral uncertainty to implement structural reforms in the presence of fiscal restraints similar to the Stability and Growth Pact.

Book Synopsis Japan’s Quest for Growth by : Mr. Murtaza H. Syed
Download or read book Japan’s Quest for Growth written by Mr. Murtaza H. Syed and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2010-12-01 with total page 23 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As labor input in Japan shrinks with population aging, capital accumulation and productivity gains will drive growth over the medium-term. At the same time, a changing global landscape calls for a shift in export-oriented investment toward new markets and a new generation of products, as well as increased investment by domestically-oriented firms. What policies could be adopted to help firms adjust to the imperatives of the post-crisis global economy and boost medium-term growth? Using disaggregated data, this paper investigates the determinants of investment and R&D spending by Japanese firms. The results suggest that policies could usefully focus on four areas. First, raising the return on investment, including through reforms to the tax code. Second, decreasing uncertainty through improved risk management by firms and by bolstering the business climate. Third, improving SME access to finance, notably by encouraging venture capital investment in innovative areas and more risk-based lending. And fourth, reducing excess leverage and supporting corporate restructuring to enable new investments to flourish.

Book Synopsis Understanding and Predicting Systemic Corporate Distress: A Machine-Learning Approach by : Ms. Burcu Hacibedel
Download or read book Understanding and Predicting Systemic Corporate Distress: A Machine-Learning Approach written by Ms. Burcu Hacibedel and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2022-07-29 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this paper, we study systemic non-financial corporate sector distress using firm-level probabilities of default (PD), covering 55 economies, and spanning the last three decades. Systemic corporate distress is identified by elevated PDs across a large portion of the firms in an economy. A machine-learning based early warning system is constructed to predict the onset of distress in one year’s time. Our results show that credit expansion, monetary policy tightening, overvalued stock prices, and debt-linked balance-sheet weaknesses predict corporate distress. We also find that systemic corporate distress events are associated with contractions in GDP and credit growth in advanced and emerging markets at different degrees and milder than financial crises.
Book Synopsis Macroeconomic Effects of Japan’s Demographics: Can Structural Reforms Reverse Them? by : Mariana Colacelli
Download or read book Macroeconomic Effects of Japan’s Demographics: Can Structural Reforms Reverse Them? written by Mariana Colacelli and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2018-11-28 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Yes, partly. This paper studies the potential role of structural reforms in improving Japan’s outlook using the IMF’s Global Integrated Monetary and Fiscal Model (GIMF) with newly-added demographic features. Implementation of a not-fully-believed path of structural reforms can significantly offset the adverse effect of Japan’s demographic headwinds — a declining and ageing population — on real GDP (by about 15 percent in the next 40 years), but would not boost inflation or contribute substantially to stabilizing public debt. Alternatively, implementation of a fully-credible structural reform program can contribute significantly to stabilizing public debt because of the resulting increase in inflation towards the Bank of Japan’s target, while achieving the same positive long-run effects on real GDP. If no reforms are implemented, severe demographic headwinds are expected to reduce Japan’s real GDP by over 25 percent in the next 40 years.
