    The onsets of the BSE have been reported in all over the world since 1986 when the first case was reported in the U.K. Thereby, consumers came to refrain from consumption of beef. Japan is not an exception. Since when the first BSE-infected cow was confirmed in September 2001, beef demand declined rapidly and demand for other meets such as pork and chicken and fresh seafood products increased as substitute demand. We use an almost ideal (AI) demand system to examine the influence of family structure on the demand-shift caused by the BSE. Empirical result shows as follows. First, the decline in the expenditure share for the beef does not depend on the family structure. Second, on one hand, the substitute demand toward fresh seafood products in a household with a child or an elderly person is larger than that in the household without them. On the other hand, the substitute demand toward pork in a household with a child or an elderly person is smaller.

    In this paper, we estimate the effect of the relative changes of income level and class consciousness on life satisfaction level based on the empirical studies by Laslett(1971), Clark and Oswald(1996) and Ferrer-i-Carbonell(2005) etc., using the large-sized internet survey. From the estimated results by ordered probit, it is shown that the relative changes of the socio-economic variables such as income, wealth and class greatly affect individuals' life satisfaction level as well as the absolute changes of variables. Especially, "Rising of class consciousness compared with past" and "Expectation of improving living standard" has a big influence on life satisfaction to both man and woman.

    The livelihood assistance allowance is considered the last safety net of the social security system in Japan. The aims are to guarantee a minimum standard of living and independence support for low income families. In recent years there have been some proposals about the livelihood assistance allowance. The number of the cover welfare family has been increasing due to expansion of nonstandard employment and a rise of the unemployment rate. This paper argues for the necessity of reforming the system from a viewpoint of working support. This paper evaluates the livelihood assistance allowance by estimating marginal effective tax rates. The main results of this paper are as follows : (1) Marginal effective tax rates of 100% within a bracket of deduction of earning income and falling ratio of deduction of earning income against the gross income increasing may be obstructed to work. (2) It seems likely that the marginal effective tax rate has exceeded 100% at the connection point of the livelihood assistance allowance and income based taxes disturb the labor by "the border line class" who has low income around the livelihood assistance standard. The reason is because the minimum taxable limit is lower than the livelihood assistance standard.

    This paper examines if loan survey (formally Senior Loan Officer Opinion Survey on Bank Lending Practices) data compiled by the Bank of Japan are useful indicators to monitor macroeconomic conditions. Two DIs from loan survey data are chosen for the analysis : DI for demand for loan and DI for credit standards. The research is conducted by investigating if loan survey data are correlated with loan market and macroeconomic indicators. The results reveal that loan survey data are correlated with loan amount and macroeconomic indicators in the future. Especially this trend is more applicable to small firms than large and medium-sized firms. Thus loan survey data are useful to monitor macroeconomic conditions. In terms of monetary policy, there is a room that loan survey data are to be utilized as one of materials in the decision making process of monetary policy as in US.

    The main purpose of this paper is to analyze relations between qualitative change of consumption patterns and environmental burden. This paper especially focuses on the case study of all-year consumption of fresh tomatoes. Lifecycle Inventory Analysis is used to compare CO_2 emission from production process, transportation, selling and making packages of fresh-tomatoes. The analysis shows that CO_2 emission from both greenhouse production and transportation by airplanes are much greater than other growing methods and lifecycle processes. All-year consumption of fresh tomatoes supported by greenhouse productions and long distance transportations by airplanes is environmentally unsustainable.
