ABSTRACT This paper shows that competition policy, rather than industrial policy, generated the rapid economic growth in post-war Japan. It also reveals that Japan’s growth rate was lowered from the mid-1970s due to newly introduced industrial policies and paucity of further competition policy. The current Abe government recognises the need for competition policies in Japan to recover from the low-growth period. The paper describes the types of competition policy carried out under Abenomics, especially in National Strategic Special Zones.Abbreviations: METI: Ministry of Economy, Trade, and Industry NSSZ: National Strategic Special Zones

竞争政策与产业政策作为增长战略

摘要本文表明，战后日本，竞争政策而非工业政策导致了快速的经济增长。它还表明，由于新出台的工业政策和缺乏进一步的竞争政策，日本的增长率从1970年代中期开始下降。现任安倍政府认识到日本需要采取竞争政策以从低增长时期恢复过来。本文描述了在安倍经济学下实施的竞争政策的类型，特别是在国家战略特区内的缩写：METI：经济，贸易和工业部NSSZ：国家战略特区
