The authors of the chapters, leading scholars in their respective field of research, present the state-of-the-art research from their respected field. After experiencing spectacular economic growth and industrial development for much of the postwar era, Japan plunged abruptly into recession in the early s and since then has suffered a prolonged period of economic stagnation, from which it is only now emerging.
Japan's malaise, marked by recession or weak economic activity, commodity and asset price deflation, banking failures, increased bankruptcies, and rising unemployment, has been the most sustained economic downturn seen in the industrial world since the s.
In Japan's Great Stagnation, experts on the Japanese economy consider key questions about the causes and effects of Japan's prolonged period of economic underperformance and what other advanced economies might learn from Japan's experience.
They focus on aspects of the financial and banking system that have contributed to economic stagnation, the role of monetary policy, and the importance of international financial factors--in particular, the exchange rate and the balance of payments. Among the topics discussed are bank fragility and the inaccuracy of measuring it by the "Japan premium," the consequences of weak banking regulation, the controversial policy of "quantitative easing," and the effectiveness of currency devaluation for fighting deflation.
Taken together, the contributions demonstrate the importance of a sound financial sector in fostering robust growth and healthy economies--and the enormous economic costs of a dysfunctional financial system.

Since we were aiming at an interdisciplinary conference covering a wide range of topics concerning large-scale knowledge resources LKR , each paper was assigned a reviewer from a topic area outside the main thrust of the paper. This reviewer was asked to assess whether the authors described the moti- tion and importance of their work in a comprehensible manner even for readers in other research areas.
Following a rigorous reviewing process, we accepted 14 regular papers and 12 poster papers. They can't wait for their school trip to Washington, D. But it seems as if someone is spying on them—or at least leaving coded messages that even the Code Busters can't crack.
