Japanese Economy, 2004, vol. 32, issue 1, 45-75

Abstract: Over the last ten years, Japan and Germany--two post-war industrial superpowers--have fallen substantially behind their common rival, the United States. These two economies are now seen as major contributors to slowing down the global economy. This paper aims to examine the causes of the abrupt weakening of the manufacturing sector of Japan, particularly in the information and communication technology (ICT) industry, while comparing their performances with those of the United States and Germany.
