Pasadilla and Prayoga Wiradisuria Comments ........................................................................... 244 Hiroshi Yamabana X Panel Discussion ....................................................................... 249 Foreword v Foreword The role of social policy in improving domestic demand will remain a relevant issue in Asia for many years. The issue was highlighted at the ADBI’s 12th Annual Conference. I am delighted to see the important contributions of the conference now compiled in this volume. As I noted in my address at the conference, the global financial and economic crisis has forced Asia to re-examine its development strategy and explore sources of growth from both domestic and regional demand. Moreover, enhanced social policies are an important centerpiece to achieve a socially inclusive Asia and Pacific region. ADB is committed more than ever to supporting regional economic integration as a way to boost regional demand and to lessen the region’s dependence on Western economies for growth. It is high time for the Asia and Pacific region to be a locomotive of global growth instead of being highly reliant on external demand, particularly from American and European markets. For domestic demand growth—especially in countries with large current account surpluses and domestic savings—improved social protection policies will play a vital role in reducing excessive savings caused by precautionary motives. As the chapters in this volume indicate, improved social policies have value beyond their role in stimulating domestic demand. At ADB, enhanced social protection policies are inextricably linked with our inclusive growth agenda. Indeed, even before the crisis, ADB has long been involved in strengthening social protection programs in developing member countries. But the global economic and financial crisis has made our organization more acutely aware that exposure to various sources of risk, such as economic shocks and natural disasters, can leave a profoundly damaging impact on economic well-being and human development when institutional structures such as those for social protection are weak. Thus, ADB is even more resolute in its belief that there is a need to strengthen institutional structures to help reduce vulnerability and respond effectively to various risks. The chapters in this volume are a welcome addition to the current discussions on how to help countries in Asia and the Pacific improve their social protection policies and make growth more inclusive. Haruhiko Kuroda President, Asian Development Bank Preface vii Preface In 2009, ADBI organized a series of conferences on the global financial and economic crisis that analyzed the crisis’ impact on Asian economies; developed scenarios for growth rebalancing away from exports to developed countries; and articulated recommendations on macroeconomic policy, regional economic integration, and financial and regulatory reform. ADBI’s 12th Annual Conference pursued the same objective of formulating appropriate long-term responses to the global financial crisis, focusing on social policies and their impact on domestic demand. The conference examined the extent to which improved social protection policies can help reduce household savings in Asian countries with very high savings rates and induce a long-term increase in consumption spending. More specifically, the annual conference tackled these questions: t 8IBU BSF UIF UIFPSFUJDBM BOE FNQJSJDBM SFMBUJPOTIJQT CFUXFFO TPDJBM protection, household savings, and income? t8IBUJTUIFFYQFSJFODFPGTPDJBMQSPUFDUJPOQPMJDJFTJOEFWFMPQFEBOE emerging economies? t )PXEPGBDUPSTMJLFEFNPHSBQIJDEFWFMPQNFOUTBOEJODPNFEJTUSJCVUJPO between labor and capital affect savings and demand? t 8IBUJTUIFJNQBDUPGJODSFBTFETPDJBMQSPUFDUJPOTQFOEJOHPOIPVTFIPME savings and consumption in Asian countries? On behalf of ADBI, I would like to express my gratitude to the distinguished paper writers, moderators, and discussants who shared their insights on this important topic, as well as to the conference attendees for their very stimulating discussions and contributions.

    The Japanese Economic Review (2021) 72:167–168 https://doi.org/10.1007/s42973-020-00069-1 ANNOUNCEMENT Ryo Okui awarded the 2020 Japanese Economic Association Nakahara Prize Mototsugu Shintani1 Published online: 2 January 2021 © Japanese Economic Association 2021 The Japanese Economic Association (JEA) Nakahara Prize was created in 1995 with a donation from Mr. Nobuyuki Nakahara. The prize was established to honour researchers in economics under the age of 45 who have made signifcant contribu- tions that are internationally recognized. It is a great pleasure to announce that the 2020 JEA Nakahara Prize has been awarded to Professor Ryo Okui, for his contribution to theoretical econometrics related to the choice of optimal instruments under many moment conditions. Born in 1975, Professor Okui earned a bachelor’s degree in Economics from Kyoto Uni- versity in 1998, a master’s degree in Economics from Kyoto University in 2000, and a Ph.D. in Economics from the University of Pennsylvania in 2005. He is currently an Associate Professor of Economics at Seoul National University. Professor Okui works in the research feld of econometric theory, which is centered on micro econo- metrics and panel data analysis, as well as in the feld of experimental economics. First, in a series of papers, Professor Okui examines the choice of optimal instru- mental variables in the context of bias-variance trade-ofs by approximating mean squared errors (MSE) of instrumental variables estimators in an environment where many possible instrumental variables are available. Okui (2009) considers a model of dynamic panel data, and it is the very frst paper that has derived MSE in such models.
