usinesses etc.) as well as by long-term stagnating aggregate demand (caused by aging ofpopulation and psychological aspects after the slump in asset prices), including the crisis in thebanking system, insufficiently expansive monetary policy (in the long-term oriented atmaintenance of low inflation). 23 The deflation was also strengthened by JPY appreciation,which reduced prices of imported goods. The continuing decline in prices could also be seen instrong deflationary expectations in the 1990s, which the BOJ was not able to reverse.Figure 3: Price Development in Japan, 1993-2005, average annual changes (%)2.01.51.00.50.0-0.5-1.0-1.5-2.0GDP DeflatorCPIProducer Price Index-2.51993 1994 1995 1996 1997 1998 1999 2000 2001Source: CAO (2006): Annual Report on The Japanese Economy and Public Finance 2006,(CPI, Produce Price Index). OECD Economic Outlook, No. 81, 2007 (GDP deflator); ownconstruction.Impacts of deflation on the economy generally depend on its resources, extend andlength. 24 In Japan the causes of deflation were complicated; decrease in prices was long-termand relatively big. Due to worries about uncertain future, Japanese families started toeconomize on their consumption even more and preferred possession of money in cash. Lowconsumption made the businesses decrease production prices further and limit investments,which worsened their financial situation and ultimately led to the growth in bad debts inbalances of commercial banks because of the growth of bankruptcies in the economy. 25Difficulties of the business sector could be seen in the growth in unemployment and instagnation of nominal wages or even in their decrease. Even other fields experienced the decline23 Baig, T. (2003): Japan´s Experience with Deflation and Associated Costs, p. 42.24 As Baig claims, in case of temporary price declines resulting from the growth in aggregatesupply or productivity, the impacts on the economy needn´t be serious. Deflation as well, if it iscaused by positive external shocks (e.g. decrease in import prices thanks to substantial tradeliberalization) may only represent adjustment and transmission of the economy to a newequilibrium. Negative effects are connected mainly with deflation pulled by aggregate demand.See Baig, T. (2003): Understanding the Costs of Deflation in the Japanese Context, p. 5.25 Unexpected decrease in prices among other consequences worsens the position of debtors;the weath is redistributed from a debtor to a creditor. The value of liabilities in real expressiongrows (nominal value remains unchanged), which may cause problems with their settlement.However, in the same time the value of mortgages in the hold of creditors decreases. Thisdecrease may significantly be strengthened by the decrease in the asset price caused bydissolution of bubbles in asset markets. This was the case of Japan in the early 1990s. As aconsequence of a credit crunch, this may appear in such situation, expenditures on consumptionand investments fall and thus aslo the aggregate demand – see further.MEDZINÁRODNÉ VZŤAHY, 2012, 4 ○ 137
in economic activity, e.g. in the decrease in state revenues from taxes and increase inexpenditures in the social sphere.Although the BOJ responded to declining prices from the mid 1990s in a standard way,i.e. by monetary expansion and reduced the discount rate to the minimum, it did not lead to theexpected increase in credit dynamics and money supply in circulation. As far as the reasons forthe inefficiency are concerned, e.g. Horská states that “the causes and methods of Japanesedeflation cure should be searched both on the aggregate supply side and aggregate demand side.Therefore the measures of fiscal and monetary policy oriented only at the recovery of domesticdemand have so far been ineffective” 26 Most authors agree that the best way how to “cure”deflation is its prevention. 27 In case that deflation breaks out, it is necessary to offer theeconomy enough liquidity and ensure stability of the financial system.In Japan, however, monetary policy had a number of restrictions. According to P.Krugman and other authors 28 a problem connected with deflation, a so-called liquidity trapappeared here (as a result of insufficient demand) in the 2 nd half of the 1990s. Nominal interestrates are then on a very low, almost zero level (they cannot fall lower), hence participants infinancial markets generally expect their future increase. They prefer possession of liquid cash asthey expect the price of other assets to fall hand in hand with the growth in the interest rate.Prices decrease – hence real interest rates are too high, they do not stimulate domesticconsumption, which makes recovery of the economy impossible. Increase in employment andproduction (in the state of surplus capacity in traditional industries and slow development ofnew ones) requires a significant reduction in real interest rates (even to the minus level).However, the monetary policy is not efficient, since any growth in the money supply remains ina liquid form or in voluntary bank reserves. 29 The monetary base increases, but the central bankcannot control the growth in the money aggregate.In Japan it was probably the above-mentioned insecurity about the future developmentof the economy that played a role in the decline in the dynamics of domestic demand after 1997and preference of liquidity possession. A strong aversion towards risk is typical for theJapanese, whom consider all activities from a relatively long-term view. This insecurityprobably grew even stronger in the mid-90s when the instability of the financial sectordeepened and criticism of vast governmental fiscal packages grew. In this point of view thedevelopment in Japan is very specific.Krugman blames internal factors, particularly a weak level of innovations intechnology and aging of population for the liquidity trap. In contrast to the traditional conceptof a liquidity trap 30 he doesn´t advocate the fiscal policy to solve the situation (but he doesn´t26 General factors of deflation are excessive production capacities, liquidity trap, and excess ofsavings supply over the demand for investments. Price slump in the real estates market is givenas the most important factor for deflation in Japan. For more detail see Horská, H. (2004):Deflace v Japonsku, p. 152.27 Prevention can be implemented so, that when benchmarking the inflation, the central banksets a bottom limit, under which inflation should never fall. It is important to maintain stabilityof the financial system in order reduce a risk of a bubble in asset markets. If prices start falling,the central bank should aggresively respond by interest rates and add liquidity into the economyas soon as possible. Frait, J. (2003): Měnová politika v období velmi nízké inflace, p. 3.28 See e.g. Krugman, P. (1998): Its Back: Japan´s Slump and the Return of the Liquidity Trap orFrait, J. – Melecký, M. – Horská, H. (2002): Recese, deflace, bankovní krize a past likvidity vJaponsku.29 See e.g. Hindls, R. – Holman, R. – Hronová, S. a kol. (2003): Ekonomický slovník, p. 291.30 J. Hicks (1937) worked up the topic of a liquidity trap from Keynes´s speculative demand formoney He claimed that in case of too low interest rates, stakeholders anticipate their futuregrowth, so they will hold money, not bonds. Monetary expansion doesn´t lead to the increase in138 ○ MEDZINÁRODNÉ VZŤAHY, 2012, 4
