    In this paper, I examine how regional poverty affects happiness at an individual level based on the empirical studies by Alesina, Di Tella and MacCulloch (2004). I conduct the ordered probit analysis by using micro data from nationwide surveys, which is the Japanese General Social Survey, 2000 (JGSS). The results of the ordered probit model show that the effect on the poverty measure is significantly negative on happiness. I find that area level poverty affects negatively the rich current happiness assessment by individuals, even after controlling for various factors. Especially worth noting is that the income redistribution has a substantial influence on happiness.

    The study aims to show the realities and the problem of the consumer center and the consumer administration in government-designated major cities. In autumn 2008, we conducted the questionnaire survey and the interview and facilities survey on its local-consumer administration. As a result, we found the realities outlined below; 1) local-consumer administration is in a special section and has consumer center, 2) it has a full-time employer for every 100,000 people, 3) it has Consumer Municipal Ordinance in connection with Consumer Basic Act and Consumer policy Council, 4) an administrative budget of the consumer policy per person for one year is over 50yen (this fiscal year, 100yen), 5) it has counseling rooms and a reference room and a consumer organizations room etc., 6) its consultants ask for consulting hours for over seven hours on weekdays, 7) they also ask for consulting hours on weekends, 8) Most of the consultant is a non-regular employee staff, and the consultants employ 0.6 real advisers for every 100,000 people, 9) the consultant's hourly wage is about 1,570yen, 10) some consultants can take annually a training-course in the National Consumer Affairs Center of Japan (NCAC), and month by month in the local-consumer administration.As a problem, any government-designated major city doesn't reach all realties taken up here. When the improvement of each government-designated major city is necessary, it is possible to arrange it.

    The economic development of China has been accompanied by the development of financial intermediation. The ratios of deposit and lending against GDP are exceptionally high as a developing country. It is highly evaluated that China realized miraculous development of financial intermediation taking into consideration of their history of mono-banking system under the planned economy before 1978, the year of their reform and open policy started. An analysis of the effects of financial intermediation using their provincial level deposit and lending data of 1998-2007, however, could not certify that the financial development contributed to the economic growth of that region. Instead, ratios of deposits against income of each province contributed negatively to their economic growth. It was also verified that the higher the ratio of bank lending against funding from provincial budget as funding sources of capital formation of each province, the higher the economic growth. Unlike preceding studies, it was not certified that banking lending did not contribute to economic development. These can be evidence that financial reform is showing some progress in China.

    This paper analyzes effects of internship on undergraduates' attitude toward work. The analysis in this paper is taken account for types of internship program and routes to internship participation. From the results estimated by ordered probit model, it is shown that a practical internship program enhances undergraduates' attitude toward work and understanding about type of job, but an internship as part-time job weakens them. In addition, a long term internship and a task achievement type internship improve them among undergraduates who participated in an internship without a relation of university. Those effects are not observed among undergraduates who participated in an internship as a class of university.

    We estimate how much influence conduct of the measures, such as equal opportunities and family friendliness, has on a performance of small and medium-sized entities (SMEs). However, it should be considered that many other factors, such as personnel management systems, policies of top leaders and a structure of employees' generations, are important to both a development of these measures and an improvement of a performance. Using a data of SMEs in Aichi prefectural region, it was proved that although equal opportunities and family friendliness were the significant factors for the improvement of a performance, the personnel management systems and the structure of employees' generations could be strong factors which influence both on the measures and a performance. In this case the correlation among the measures and a performance could be a fake and the effect of the measures on a performance shouldn't be overestimated.

    This paper examines the determinants of the reservation wages for marriage by the survey of unmarried women in Japan. Especially, I focus on the effects of the employment status on whether the single women have the reservation wages and on their reservation wages themselves. The estimation results show that women who live with their parents tend to have the reservation wages for marriage. And their income and actual relationship to potential partner significantly affect their reservation wages. However, contrary to the theoretical hypothesis, the reservation wages are significantly influenced both by their present and potential labor supply in the future. It is partly because women such as part-time workers require their potential partner to have higher income as a hedge against their own unstable income. It suggests that we should consider the sum of the couple's expected income because many young couples both participate in the labor market in recent years.
