  • The Japanese Economy During the Interwar Period
    20092009--JE--21 The Japanese Economy during the Interwar Period: 両大戦間期Instabilityの日本における恐慌と政策対応 in the Financial System and ― 金融システム問題と世界恐慌への対応を中心にthe Impact of the World Depression ― Institute for Monetary and Economic Studies 金融研究所 鎮目雅人 Masato Shizume 2009 年 4 月 May 2009 The Japanese economy during the interwar period faced chronic crises. Among them, the Showa Financial Crisis of 1927 and the Showa Depression of 1930-31 marked turning points. The Showa Financial Crisis of 1927 was the consequence of persistent financial instability because of the incomplete restructuring in the business sector and postponements in the disposal of bad loans by financial institutions. The crisis brought reforms in the financial sector through large-scale injections of public funds and the amalgamation of banks. The Showa Depression of 1930-31 was caused by the Great Depression, a worldwide economic collapse, which had been intensified in Japan by the return to the Gold Standard at the old parity. Japan escaped from the Great Depression earlier than most other countries through a series of macroeconomic stimulus measures initiated by Korekiyo Takahashi, a veteran Finance Minister who resumed office in December 1931. Takahashi instituted comprehensive macroeconomic policy measures, including exchange rate, fiscal, and monetary adjustments. At the same time, the Gold Standard, which had been governing Japan’s fiscal policy, collapsed in the wake of the British departure from it in September 1931. Then, Japan introduced a mechanism by which the government could receive easy credit from the central bank without establishing other institutional measures to govern its fiscal policy. This course of events resulted in an eventual loss of fiscal discipline.

  • Distribution and Seasonal Movements of the House Sparrow
    Bird-Banding 2o] NICHOLS,Distribution of theHouse Sparrow January DISTRIBUTION AND SEASONAL MOVEMENTS OF THE HOUSE SPARROW By Joun T. N•cuoLs Fi•oM January, 1930, to October, 1933, 450 House Sparrows were banded at Garden City, New York. Adult House Sparrowsare notoriouslytrap-shy, seldomrepeating or return- ing. Such scattering repeats and returns as there have been to date do not, in themselves,prove much as to the local move- ments of the species. However, adults were banded on the right leg, and recog- nizably young birds on the left leg, thus dividing the popula- tion into six groupseasily recognizableat the trapping station by sight. The varying proportionsof these groupspresent by observationare shownin percentagesin Table 1. We will begin by summarizing the most obvious and best groundedconclusions based on this table: (1) Young birds as a class leave the trapping station im- mediately if they are strong on the wing and independent of their parents. Their leaving seemsto be due to lack of place memory, correlated with a general lack of memory which causesthem to repeat much more freely than the adults. It is not that they are crowded out by the adults or seek a differ- ent environment,for at the sametime the proportionof birds of the year at the station rises, as would be expectedat that season. It is rather a matter of chance,with a drifting popula- tion, chancewhich will later bring a small proportion of them back to the station again. (2) The proportion of banded adult males at the trapping station has risen rapidly since 1930 with continued banding, and is subjectto wide seasonalfluctuations, which can only be explained by a more or less regular return of birds from out- side to the station.
