    This study estimates the intergenerational wealth elasticity using original Japanese survey data and assesses factors explaining the intergenerational wealth elasticity, such as income, educational level, bequests and preferences. The age-adjusted elasticity of child wealth with respect to parental wealth ranges from 0.266 to 0.367, and transition matrices indicate that the intergenerational transmission of wealth persists more strongly in the tails of the distributions. The correlation between parent and child wealth mainly stems from income, education and bequests, which jointly constitute 63.9% of the wealth elasticity.

  • Effects of Japanese compulsory educational reforms on household educational expenditure Reviewed

    This study investigates the effects of the 2002 Japanese reforms of compulsory education on household expenditure on supplementary schooling and out-of-school activities for junior high school students. These reforms marked a dramatic change in Japan's compulsory education system in two main respects: from April 2002, every Saturday became a public school holiday and instructional time was reduced following the government's revisions of national curriculum guidelines, leaving private schools largely unaffected. Based on aggregate data taken from the Child Study Expenditure Survey, the difference-indifferences estimation households with children attending public schools as the treatment group and those attending private schools as the control group reveals that the 2002 educational reforms increased target household expenditure on supplementary education by 13% and spending on outdoor activities/volunteering, arts, sports, and cultural activities by 23%. Disaggregated analysis based on microdata taken from the National Survey of Family Income and Expenditure carried out by the Bureau of Statistics further reveals that the impacts of these educational reforms were larger for higher-income households than for lower-income ones.

    The life cycle/permanent income hypothesis (LCPIH) entails two postulates: People have rational expectations and people do not have problems with self-control. If either or both of these postulates do not apply, we cannot obtain a testable implication for the LCPIH. We use Japanese representative panel data that include responses to self-reported and retrospective questions in order to elicit behavior such as forward-looking and self-control problems. We test the rational expectations hypothesis and the LCPIH implication and find that rational consumers do not change their expenditure in response to expected income changes, which we restrict to fit the two LCPIH postulates.

  • The Pattern of Consumption Changes to Permanent Income Shocks: Japan-US Comparison Reviewed

    The purpose of this paper is to investigate what kind of consumption model is supported using hypothetical questions which asked about the pattern of consumption changes to permanent income shocks. According to the life cycle/permanent income hypothesis (LCPIH), if people face a permanent income shock, they would change their consumption immediately. However, the proportion of respondents choosing the choice pattern which is consistent with LCPIH is only 1.6% in Japan and 3.9% in United States. The results of the hypothetical question show a variety of patterns of consumption changes to permanent income shocks. In both Japan and the U.S., many households do not change their consumption immediately even if their permanent income increases. This behavior could be explained by the asset preference model. Moreover, there are many households who choose a consumption path that is consistent with the habit formation model. Furthermore, we show that the prediction of borrowing constraint model is consistent with the choice of households who face the borrowing constraint in reality.

    経済格差が世代間でどの程度継承されているのかについての研究はいくつか存在するが、その決定要因についての実証研究は十分に蓄積されていない。親子両方の経済水準を含むデータの入手が困難であることが主な理由である。資本市場の不完全性が世代間社会移動性を規定する要因の一つと指摘されている。しかし、そもそも借入制約が原因で進学できなかった人がどの程度存在し、どのような家計の子どもが借入制約が原因で進学できなかったのかについて明らかではない。
    本研究は以下の点を明らかにすることが目的である。第一は、借入制約が原因で子どもが進学できなかった家計の属性を明らかにすることである。第二は、世代間社会移動性と大学進学の関係を明らかにすることである。第三は、それらを国際比較することである。
    これまでに二つの研究を行った。第一はアメリカのデータを用いた研究である。この研究では主に以下の点を明らかにした。第一に、先行研究と同様、大学進学時に金銭的な理由で進学をあきらめた人の割合が若い世代で高いことである。第二に、親の経済水準が高いと進学をあきらめた人の割合が低いことである。第三に、大学へ進学した人の子どもの頃の経済水準と現在の経済水準の差が正で有意である。この結果は、大学進学が世代間社会移動性を高めたことを示唆している。同様の研究を日本のデータを用い、概ねアメリカと同様の分析結果を得た。今年度は、これまでに指摘された研究の問題点を克服するために、新たに収集したデータを用いて研究を改善する。

    We examine long-term consequences of elementary school curricula in terms of the formation of social preferences. Specifically, pupils who have experienced participatory/cooperative learning practices are more likely to be altruistic, cooperative with others, reciprocal, and have national pride. In contrast, education emphasizing anti-competitive practices is negatively associated with these attributes. Such contrasts can also be seen in other preferences regarding government policies and the market economy. We also find that the experience of group work is negatively associated with annual income and financial assets. The results for well-being and satisfaction for overall life indicate that group work does not correlate with well-being and whole life satisfaction, while it positively correlates with the satisfaction of human relationships and negatively correlates with satisfaction with household economic status.

    We can summarize the results of our projects as follows. First, we have analyzed macro economics models that incorporate the turnover and incentive of leaders. Second, we have analyzed the internal labor market that affects the careers of directors and bureaucrats. Third, we have analyzed how an entrance examination reform in higher education change managers' academic background. Fourth, we have conducted structural estimation of entrance examination for universities and have analyzed the role of mock exam for the choice of universities. As the side effects of these analyses, we have developed new methodologies to analyze data and new data set that can analyze the market for Japanese leaders.

    I analyzed the effects and functions of education. First, I developed labor demand model that incorporate educational level (B.A or M.A. / Ph.D) and specialty (humanity or science) and estimate the model using microdata for Japanese listed company. The main result is that the demands of educational level and specialty vary according to industry. Second, we showed the parents’ income increases child’s educational level and strict parenting increases child’s study hours using household level microdata.

    マクロ経済の動向を説明するためには、家計の消費行動をモデル化することが必要である。本研究はこれまで前提であった家計の合理性という消費理論の仮定に注目して理論を検証する。
    本年度行った研究の目的は、恒常的な所得ショックに対して家計はどのような消費行動行うかを分析し、さらに日米の消費行動の共通点と相違点を明らかにすることである。
    この研究の特徴は主に3点ある。第一は、仮想的に予想される恒常的な所得変化に対してどのように消費を変化させるかを質問しているので、理論が想定する状況下で忠実に消費行動を分析できること。第二は、標準的なLCPIHの検証だけでなく、同時にさまざま消費理論を検証することができること。最後は、日米の相違点や共通点を統計的に検証できることである。
    ライフサイクル・恒常所得仮説(LCPIH)によれば、人々は恒常所得の変化というショックに直面するとその時点で消費を変化させる。しかし、実証分析の結果、LCPIHと整合的な選択をした家計の割合は日本で1.6%、アメリカで3.9%にすぎない。家計が選択した消費のパターンには、家計間で多様性が見られる。多数派の家計は、日米ともに恒常的な所得が増加してもすぐに消費を変化させないと回答している。この消費経路の選択は、資産選好モデルと整合的である。また、恒常所得の変化に対して消費を徐々に変化させるという合理的習慣形成理論とも整合的な家計が多い。さらに、実際に借入制約に直面している家計において、借入制約の理論の予測と仮想的質問の選択結果が整合的であることが明らかとなった。
