Submissions that analyse the interdependence between Japan and other Asian economies are encouraged, but we also welcome papers with a sole focus on the Japanese economy, including papers on monetary and fiscal policy, exchange rate policy, development of the Japanese banking system, perspectives on potential output, consequences of demographic change, womenomics, inequality, labour markets, and education. Papers adopting a comparative perspective are welcome. Young scholars are particularly encouraged to submit their work.
