TOE Alert: How does Japan's Growth Stack up in International Comparisons, Part 1
posted by Richard Katz on September 29, 2015
Report Cover
Headline
If the number of workers grew at the same rate as the entire population—and thus the ratio of workers per capita remained the same—then a growth rate of, say, 1% in GDP per worker would translate into 1% growth in GDP per capita.
Abstract
Some economists claim that except for aging, Japan does not really have a problem with growth in GDP or productivity. And in this report Richard argues why that statement is incorrect.
