A standard data base for the analysis of Japanese security markets

Article Abstract:

A data base for analyzing Japanese security markets was developed by compiling financial data from 1971 to 1987. The data base included data on common stocks, long-term corporate and government bonds, short-term interest rates, and inflation. The returns were represented in Japanese yen and US dollars. The data indicated that US investors could achieve diversification by investing in Japanese securities. Common stocks had the highest returns, and small stocks had both high returns and high volatility. Bonds were less volatile than stocks. US and Japanese bonds and short-term interest rates were comparable in terms of mean returns and standard deviations.

Indexation and the effect of inflation uncertainty on real GNP

Article Abstract:

The way in which growth rate of real GNP is affected by inflation uncertainty and indexation is examined. The adverse influence of inflation uncertainty on GNP growth over time can be partially reduced by more indexation. There may be a permanence to the influence of inflation uncertainty on real GNP growth, which contradicts earlier findings. It is not certain that the discrepancy is the result of the growth rate of the capital stock being permanently affected by inflation uncertainty.
