    This paper empirically investigates responsiveness of growth rate of deposits, of interest rate, and of stock price to the bank risk with using panel data of Japanese banks and cooperative banks (Shinkin). Our empirical findings support that depositors withdraw their deposits from risky banks and require the banks higher deposit rate. And the findings also indicate stock holders sell the stocks when the bank failure risk is increased. But we find that banks do not restore their financial soundness as depositors withdraw their deposit.

    Using data from Japanese life insurance companies during 1999-2008 periods, this paper examines empirically the factors affecting life insurance market discipline (market monitoring). During the life insurance crisis, the policyholder is more sensitive to soundness of insurance companies. We find that new policyholder is more sensitive to soundness of insurance companies than existing policyholder. Finally, we find that the growth rate of whole life insurance in force is significantly related to risks of insurance companies but the growth rate of term life insurance in force is not related to risks. We conclude that the life insurance crisis, termination cost and period of insurance affect life insurance market monitoring and market discipline.

    This study focuses on a comparison of the future demands between life insurance and saving deposit as life security resources in four areas - health security, old-age security, care security, and death security. A Markov Chain approach is used to estimate each demand. It is found that saving deposit will be preferable to life insurance in old-age security, care security, and death security. This result shows that saving deposit as multipurpose security is preferable to life insurance as purposive security. On the other hand, life insurance is extremely competitive against saving deposit on future demand in health security. In addition, attribute-based analyses show that future preference reflects each attribute factor. It is found that life insurance will be preferable in cases of generations who have comparatively heavy responsibility for family, those who have income and personal assets enough to pay insurance premiums, and those who are regular employees.

    In recent years, the importance of "corporate reputation" has been increasing. This is why it is said that corporate competitive advantage and sustainable development depend largely on the improvement of the "corporate reputation" And, as the implementation of "Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR)" contributes to the improvement of corporate reputation, in many cases "reputation management" is discussed in relation to "CSR". On the other hand, the conventional studies have focused on CSR activities to eliminate what has negative effects on company and communication with stakeholders in order to maintain and improve the corporate reputation from "reputation risk" reduction perspective. However, it becomes obvious that only responsive CSR can't get high corporate reputation. That is, it can be said that the linkage between the business activities and CSR is required for the improvement of the corporate reputation. Therefore, in this paper, I clarify the relationship between "CSR/innovation activities" the "corporate reputation", and "corporate value", focusing on the innovation.

    In this paper, I discuss the relationship between consumer sentiment and the economy in Japan. Using the Cabinet Office (herein CSI), CSI (TKO) (for Tokyo) consumers' confidence index and the Nihon Keizai Shimbun, Inc. Nikkei Consumption Forecasting Indicator (herein CFI) by the Research Institute of Industry and Regional Economy. We found many interesting evidences between the consumer sentiment and economy outlined below; 1)CSI and CSI (TKO) change precedently to the CFI, 2) In the whole country consumption expenditure change follows disposable income change, however in Tokyo such a relation was not found, 3) In regard to the influence ability to the consumption expenditure, the consumer confidence influences the consumption expenditure even when disposable income is controlled. 4) The productive-age population and Tokyo Stock Exchange share prices influence the consumption expenditure in Japan and Tokyo, respectively, 5) The influence ability of the consumer confidence indicator on consumption expenditure is different in Tokyo from that of the whole country. In Tokyo only "Durable goods" indicator showed the relationship to consumption expenditure, however whole country "Overall livelihood" and "Income growth" are effective additionally. It is confirmed that the consumer sentiment influences consumption actions in Japan, (it has become clear that a willingness of the consumers, the consumer sentiment, influences changes of the economy.)

    In this paper, I investigate the effect of health condition on labor hour and labor supply. Particularly, as previous Japanese studies exclusively focus on the elderly people (over forty five), I focus on youth and middle age (from twenty to forty four). I use Keio Household Panel Survey (KHPS) and empirical results are summarized as follows. Firstly, in case of both genders, there seems no effect of health on labor hour. In case of male, this is not consistent with previous studies which focus on elderly male. This is perhaps because loss from disemployment is larger for younger people than elder people and thus they cannot change their labor hour even if their health condition becomes a little worse. Secondly, as for both genders, there is also no empirical evidence for effect of health on whether they work ornot. As youth and middle age rely on labor income, this also seems plausible.

    The prevalence of obesity has become a serious, worldwide public health problem. Its main cause is in the change of lifestyle having been brought by technological innovations in the fields of food production and processing, distribution systems, computer and information technologies, means of transportation, etc. Obesity raises problems in health care, medical spending, labor market, quality of life, and other areas. Using a panel data in Japan and analyzing effects of overweight and obesity on physical and mental health, we found the following: 1) obesity influences physical and mental health negatively; 2) the effect appears more on physical health than mental health; 3) men tend to be affected physically more than mentally and women mentally more than physically; and 4) the effects of overweight and obesity are noticeable more on workers than non-workers and more on employees than self-employed. Obesity is a problem of dietary habit on one hand and that of social structures on the other. There are many actual and foreseeable problems to be solved to prevent obesity and cope with obesity-related issues. Physical and mental health problem dealt with in this paper is one of them when the number of overweight especially for men in Japan shows a steady growth.
