Japan Economy Watch

Japan Economy Watch is a weblog run by Claus Vistesen, Scott Peterson and Edward Hugh which follows the day to day progress of the Japanese economy. The principle focus of the weblog is Japan's long term growth and deflation problem, and many of the posts examine the issue of the sustainability of Japanese public finance in the light of the weak domestic consumption record which appears to be related to the ageing question. Ageing produces a continuing and ongoing rise in median ages due to continuing low fertility and the rapid increases in life expectancy which Japan has been experiencing. Detailed arguments concerning the evolution of the Japanese economy can be found in the posts indicated under the "Worth A Read" heading which can be found on the Weblog Home Page
