  • Support for Workers Displaced in the Decline of the Japanese Coal Industry: Formal and Informal Support Naoko Shimazaki Waseda University
    Support for Workers Displaced in the Decline of the Japanese Coal Industry: Formal and Informal Support Naoko Shimazaki Waseda University Japan’s coal industry met its demise following a number of stages of restruc- turing under policies to change the structure of the energy industry. More than 200,000 coal mine workers were displaced from 1955 onward. The task of providing measures for displaced workers was recognized as an issue to be addressed at national level and such initiatives were considered to have con- siderable significance for the interests of society as a whole. This led to the development of substantial support systems of the kind not seen in other in- dustries, and comprehensive measures were adopted to cover not only reemployment, but also relocation, housing, and vocational training. However, fundamental issues faced by the unemployed were left unresolved. Formal support therefore in fact relied on the strength of individual companies and re- gional communities, and developed distinct characteristics. The insufficiencies of the formal support systems were compensated for by informal support based on personal relationships which were characteristic of the unique culture of coal mining. In particular, there was a strong sense of solidarity among fel- low mine workers. The support for displaced workers included not only finan- cial assistance, but also individual support, such as individual counselling and employment assistance provided by former coal mine employees acting as counselors. The labor unions played a central role in developing these measures. Such support was very strongly in tune with the workers’ culture generated within coal mining communities. I. Coal Policy and Measures for Displaced Workers in Japan The coal industry is a typical example of industrial restructuring in Japan.

  • Our Research Realizes New Dreams for Hokkaido
    Hokkaido Research Organization Our research realizes new dreams for Hokkaido. http://www.hro.or.jp/ Message from the President Yoshikatsu Tanaka The Hokkaido Research Organization (HRO), a local independent administrative agency, was established in April 2010 by integrating 22 prefectural research institutes in the fields of agriculture, fisheries, forestry, manufacturing, food, environment, geology and architecture. The HRO is now focused on the three fields of food, energy and communities under the second midterm plan, which began in 2015, and utilizes its accumulated technologies and expertise while demonstrating its collective strengths in various fields to promote research on fundamental technologies that enhance the basic value of the technologies owned by Hokkaido industries and the effectiveness of administrative policies. It also works toward the practical use of fundamental technologies, contributing to the improvement of residents' living standards and the promotion of local industries as a comprehensive research institute in Hokkaido. Meanwhile, changes in socioeconomic circumstances and revolutionary advancement in scientific technology, such as the depopulation and aging of the population in Hokkaido at a faster pace than the national averages, worsening resource/energy problems, rapid development in ICT including IoT and big data, and advancing globalization, have various effects on the Hokkaido economy and lives of Hokkaido residents. To timely and appropriately deal with such powerful trends and promote research and development for the future, we are preparing the third midterm plan, which will begin in FY 2020. While defining the future vision, we will further strive to conduct high-value research and development that are used for the lives of Hokkaido residents and industries.

A generalized goals-achievement model in data envelopment analysis: An application to efficiency improvement in local government finance in Japan Soushi Suzuki a Peter Nijkamp b aHokkai-Gakuen University, Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, South26-West 11,1-1,chuo-ku, 064-0926 Sapporo, Japan bVU University Amsterdam, Department of Spatial Economics, De Boelelaan 1105, 1081 HV Amsterdam, The Netherlands Abstract Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) has become an established tool in comparative analyses of efficiency strategies in both the public and the private sector. The aim of this paper is to present and apply a newly developed, adjusted DEA model – emerging from a blend of a Distance Friction Minimization (DFM) and a Goals Achievement (GA) approach on the basis of the Charnes-Cooper-Rhodes (CCR) method – in order to generate a more satisfactory efficiency-improving projection model in conventional DEA. Our DFM model is based on a generalized Euclidean distance minimization and serves to assist a Decision Making Unit (DMU) in improving its performance by the most appropriate movement towards the efficiency frontier surface.
