「Internal and External Price Differentials: Another Inflation Problem」 Ichiro Shirakawa 【Summary】Japan, boasting the world's third-largest GDP, struggles to feel a sense of affluence in daily life. One reason for this is the existence of internal and external price differentials. This phenomenon, stemming from distortions in the Japanese market such as cartels, protectionism, and regulations, has drawn criticism from abroad. Relaxing various regulations to revive market mechanisms and reduce internal and external price differentials is now a policy goal for Japan, but it also means entering a fiercely competitive society. This essay examines Japan's challenges through the author's experience in economic administration. Thank you for viewing. Condition: This is a used item.
