An empirical analysis based on panel data from Japan’s Census of Manufactures FUKAO Kyoji (Hitotsubashi University, RIETI) IKEUCHI Kenta (NISTEP) KIM YoungGak (Senshu University) KWON Hyeog Ug (Nihon University, RIETI) Abstract Using a Melitz-style model of heterogeneous firms, Baldwin and Okubo (2006) recently presented a theoretical model in which self-sorting occurs and more productive factories choose to locate in more productive areas. The model suggests that firm-specific factors and regional factors affect each other through the endogeneity of location decisions. However, to date there have been few studies empirically testing this issue. Against this background, our aim is to examine the relationship between firms and location-specific factors in location decisions using factory-level panel data from Japan’s Census of Manufactures. We begin by estimating how much of the differences in factories’ TFP levels can be explained by both firm and location effects. The estimation results show that both effects have a significant impact on the productivity level of a factory, and that the firm effects are more important than the location effects. We also find a statistically significant negative correlation between firm effects and location effects, and investigate what causes this relationship.

The application has already been approved by the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries. In order to ensure the conservation and promotion of this agricultural heritage, the “Nagara River Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries Promotion Association” as well as the “Pristine Nagara River Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries Sector Players” have formed close ties together and this document lays out in detail the numerous efforts of the various members of these groups and other related parties. The Nagara River, which flows through the southern region of Gifu Prefecture, supports a population of 860,000 on its basin and despite flowing through urban areas boasts bountiful and pristine waters of immaculate quality.

    An Introduction of Gifu Prefectural Ikeda High School “Welcome to Ikeda High School”

    An Introduction of Gifu Prefectural Ikeda High School “Welcome to Ikeda High School” School History & Educational Goal and Policy School Guide School Facilities Nature around Ikeda High School ESD (Education for Sustainable Development) Education with Distinctive Features Class Organization & Curriculum Annual School Calendar Club Activities & Extracurricular Activities Students’ Paths following Graduation An Introduction of Ikeda Town 1 School History & Educational Goal and Policy Gifu Prefectural Ikeda High School (hereafter referred as “Ikeda High School”) is a general course public high school founded in 1984 in Ikeda Town, Ibi County, Gifu Prefecture, to cope with an increasing ratio of students who entered high schools and a rapid increase in the number of baby boomers’ children. The school is surrounded by a beautiful natural environment filled with rivers and mountains. In 2013 Ikeda High School celebrated the 30th anniversary of its founding and it has turned out no less than 8,000 graduates, who have played active parts as leaders in all fields of society both in the local areas of Gifu Prefecture and in Japan About 460 students enjoy lessons and club activities every day. They have achieved good results in every aspect of student life. When there was the drastic rise in the number of students, Ikeda High School had as many as eleven classes in one grade and reached the maximum of about 1,300 students in all. But with a gradual fall of the number of children in the surrounding areas and with more junior high school students hoping to enter high schools in urban areas, Ikeda High School has become a small school with four classes in each grade.
