Abstract: Given Japan's reputation as a manufacturing superpower, one of the most remarkable developments of the 1990s was a near-decade of virtual zero growth in industrial output. As of late 2000, the industrial production index was no higher than it had been at its 1991 peak. Moreover, calculations by economist Tadashi Nakamae show that as of late 2000, the 84 percent of manufacturing which lies outside the Information Technology (IT) area was still more than 10 percent below the 1991 level. So, even though the IT component soared, it was not enough to overcome downward pressures elsewhere (Figure la).
