Abstract

After the Koizumi government ended in 2006, Japan continued to struggle with slow growth, deflation and, in 2011, a tsunami and nuclear disaster. Following a series of several more unsuccessful prime ministers, Shinzo Abe again became the prime minister in 2012 and announced a new strategy of "three arrows," rapid quantitative easing, fiscal stimulus and structural reform. It remains to be seen if these policies can be implemented and, moreover, if they will work.
