Abstract
Across Japan, active efforts for LETS (Local Exchanges and Trading System) are being made. However, none of them are attempts that could create a regional economy.
Given this factor, I have made a concrete dissertation in this report by associating such specific policies as recycling-oriented society and local production for local consumption with LETS.
Furthermore, I have empirically examined the potentials of LETS from the perspective of Ricard's economic theory and the notion of the regionality of ideas.
