IBATA-ARENS Former Visiting Scholar, RIETIAssociate Professor, Department of Political Science, DePaul University AbstractA puzzle has confounded observers of the Japanese economy in recent years--despite its strong innovative capacity, why has Japan failed to produce significant new business growth? This paper argues that Japan, historically closed to inward foreign direct investment (FDI), has an opportunity to pursue a new growth strategy through greater openness to foreign firms. This paper provides an overview of the population of foreign-owned firms in Japan and traces the growth in their establishment over the last 30 years, paying special attention to trends in the 2000s. Utilizing a unique, extensive set of data compiled from macro and micro level data from the Statistics Bureau, the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications (MIC), the Ministry of Economy Trade and Industry (METI), and Teikoku Data Bank (TDB), descriptive statistics compare domestic and foreign firms in three establishment cohorts (1980s, 1990s, 2000s) over a number of measures, including sales, capital, employment, and profit. Findings indicate that foreign-owned firms, particularly those established in the 2000s in Japan, are more efficient with capital and are lower credit risks than domestic firms. Furthermore, foreign firms employ more workers over time. As such, foreign firms have become agents of institutional change and new growth in Japan, presenting opportunities for Japan to improve its absorptive capacity to inward FDI and foreign business, netting positive returns for firms and the Japanese economy.Download paper [PDF:334KB] Tweet February 25, 2013 Print Article(s) by this author Inward Foreign Direct Investment as a New Growth Paradigm: Empirical evidence from Japan February 25, 2013［Policy Update］ Articles Column Special Series Newspapers & Magazines Fellows' Works VoxEU Column From IZA Perspectives from Around the World Other Contents RIETI Report Policy Update Keizai Sangyo Journal Communications Newsletter RSS Feed Facebook X YouTube Research Areas Research Programs (FY2024-2028) Research Programs (FY2020-2023) Research Programs (FY2016-2019) Research Programs (FY2011-2015) Policy Research Domains (FY2006-2010) Projects Survey Fellows Research/Policy Papers Discussion Papers (English) Discussion Papers (Japanese) Policy Discussion Papers (English) Policy Discussion Papers (Japanese) Technical Papers (English) Technical Papers (Japanese) Non Technical Summaries List of Articles in Journals Research Digest Discussion Papers Search Publications RIETI Books (English) RIETI Books (Japanese) History of Japan's Trade and Industry Policy Authors' Words Other Publications (English) Other Publications (Japanese) Events Symposiums Workshops BBL Seminars Archived Seminar Series Data JIP Database R-JIP Database CIP Database Industry-Specific Nominal and Real Effective Exchange Rates AMU and AMU Deviation Indicators JSTAR RIETI-TID RIETI FDI Database ICPA Project Links Articles Column Special Series Newspapers & Magazines Fellows' Works VoxEU Column From IZA Perspectives from Around the World Other Contents RIETI Report Policy Update Keizai Sangyo Journal (METI Journal) About RIETI Privacy Policy Site Policy Site Map Help Contact METI Web Site Research Institute of Economy, Trade and Industry, IAA (JCN 6010005005426)JCN: Japan Corporate Number Opinions expressed or implied on this website are solely those of the author, and do not necessarily represent the views of the Research Institute of Economy, Trade and Industry (RIETI).Titles, numbers, specific names, etc. on this website are as of the date of publication.
