Abstract This note is a sequel to the previous one published in this journal (Vol. 30, No.1). In that article, we used one of mean value theorems to prove the univalence of a nonlinear mapping based on the qualitative regularity ofthe Jacobian matrix. The qualitative regularity is a property of a matrix whose regularity is shown to be valid by using only the sign patterns of mappings involved. In this note, we extend the result into a vector space over an integral domain. The vectors themselves are of n-tuples of elements in the integral domain. This integral domain is totally ordered, and some natural properties are assumed concerning this order. First two lennnata are given, and the first one is in fact a sort of mean value theorem for mappings from a direct product of discrete spaces into a discrete space, and utilizes mathematical induction. The second lemma depends on the fact that theory of matrices and determinants can be constructed also on a ring except for inverse matrix. Finally, our main proposition derives from the very integrity of a given domain. Another merit of the result is that the domain of a mapping need not be convex, and can be even a set oflattice points.

Title Alternative Chinese Society Today Observed through Abbreviations with Numerals (Ill)
FullText URL oer_030_3_281_313.pdf
Author Oka, Masumi|
Abstract My study on abbreviations with numerals consists of three parts. This is the last part. Many abbreviations with numerals have been used as political slogans by the Chinese Communist Party. I try to clarify, by analyzing those abbreviations, the phases of Chinese society today. In this part of my study, I deal with those which belong to such social phenomena as ① corruption of the Party leaders and the government officials,② disturbance ofthe peace, ③ educational problems, etc. My study has revealed that abbreviations with numerals are devided into four groups, that is, those which show ① policies by the central Party and Government, ② policies by the local governments and enterprises, ③ nationwide social phenomena, and ④ local phenomena. Many abbreviations belonging to ① and ③ will appear in dictionaries in the future, and those belonging to ② and ④ will not. The latter, however, reflects the various problems that China now faces, and enables us to understand her. Abbreviations are so simple in structure that they are often ambiguous. "San-tong", for example, sometimes means "the three direct links between the two sides of Taiwan Straits", and sometimes means "the three kinds oflifeline in case ofcalamity".

Title Alternative Optimality of the Stein Type Confidence Interval of Variance
FullText URL oer_030_3_271_280.pdf
Author Nagata, Yasushi|
Abstract In this paper the optimality of the Stein type confidence interval of the disturbance variance among the class of pre-test confidence interval after the pre-test for a linear hypothesis on coefficients is considered. The Stein type confidence interval is a member in the class with a critical value, say c. It is known that the Stein type confidence interval is the best in the subclass which consists of the pre-test confidence intervals with a smaller critical value than c. It is shown that an extension of the optimality to a larger class is not possible.

Title Alternative Recent Debate on the Transformation Problem in Western Countries
FullText URL oer_030_3_247_270.pdf
Author Wada, Yutaka|
Abstract This paper makes a brief survey of the debate on the transformation problem in Western countries during the last decade. Many studies on the problem at this period have strong concern for the 'New Approach' proposed by Dumenil, Foley and Lipietz in 1980's and various evaluations of the 'New Approach' exist which are quite far from reaching any consensus. Szumski, Carchedi and Haan, for example, try to solve the problem in their criticisms ofthe 'New Approach'. Such situation reflects different views of the transformation problem. While the advocates of the 'New Approach' want to analyse the income distribution between capital and labour, its critics tend to consider prices of production as a consequence of capitalistic unequal exchanges of labour. According to the author, the second view is more appropriate on the transformation problem. The ultimate origin of incomes can be generally sought to productive labour expenses without introducing prices of production but the levels of incomes can be determined only after investigating prices ofproduction concretely. The author also points out that the debate in 90's has not progressed so rapidly as in and before 80's.

Title Alternative City Position of Importance in the Age of Honsyu-Shikoku Three Big Bridges : I
FullText URL oer_030_3_217_246.pdf
Author Nakamura, Ryohei|
Abstract More than ten year ago Seto-Ohashi was constructed, last April Akashi-Kaikyo-Ohashi was completed, and this May Onomichi-Imabari route is going to be provided as the third road connecting Honsyu with Shikoku area. At the end of this century, as a result, Seto-uchi area has three main routes which would improve interregional mobility. Progress of traffic infrastructure could change city's economic position. On one side, some cities may grow by improving interregional accessibility. On the other side, however, some cities may lose their economic status due to so called 'straw effects'. This paper consists of two parts; the former part is focussed on recent regional economic changes and statistical analyses on city position of importance, the latter part is empirical investigation based on the results of questionnaire about city positions of importance. Regional recent changes mean office location and relocation as a firms' regional evaluations. In statistical analyses I propose a new indicator of city's relative economic importance. Questionnaire has been conducted for branch offices of major four cities in Seto-uchi area. Through questionnaire several evaluations of individual cities by corporate firms are clarified.

Title Alternative Interrelation between Management and Policy Sciences - the Developments and its Future -
FullText URL oer_030_3_197_216.pdf
Author Yamamoto, Kiyoshi|
Abstract This paper aims at presenting an interrelation between management or organizational science and policy sciences. Both sciences have developed by influencing and learning with each other. For example, bounded rationality model in management affected policy analysis, while garbage can model developed in policy sciences impacted on management theory. Especially, it is shown that as the new public management (NPM) has emerged in public sector reforms, private sector and public sector management as an implementing part of policy sciences are complementary to improve performance and strengthen accountability.

Title Alternative A Survey ofthe Historical Studies in Japan and the World regarding the Iron and Steel Industry in Northeast China during 1940 s-1950 s
FullText URL oer_030_3_163_182.pdf
Author Matsumoto, Toshiro|
Abstract The iron and steel industry in northeast China has been playing an important role both in the Manchukuo period and the Socialist China. The academic achievements of the historical analysis concerning the industry during 1940s and 1950s, however, has not been so rich, because of the following two reasons; (1) lack of historical materials; (2) ideological obstacles against recognizing the rapid economic development under the Manchukuo regime and its aftermath toward the new born China. Many historical resources were lost in the chaos during and just after the WWII. None the less, not negligible amount ofmaterials exist not only in Anshan but in Nanjing, Taipei, Tokyo, Washington, London etc., crossing widely the boundaries of the counties. The iron and steel industry is a key military industry. For this reason, the Communist and the Nationalist had strictly prohibited researchers to use their collections until 1980s. On the other hand, the image on the socialism had for long been simply stereotyped as justice or liberation among the historians in Japan after 1945. Such a situation reflexes the important truth of the history. It has, however, made the research angle of the historians inadequate to recognize the positive aspects of the industry developed by colonial authorities.

Title Alternative 'We Will Construct Our Assembly Line' ( I ) : the Case of the Tahara No.1 Plant of Toyota
FullText URL oer_030_3_125_162.pdf
Author Shimizu, Koichi|
Abstract Since the Beginning of 1990 s, Toyota has been pursuing a new direction in its human resource management and assembly work. After encountering a labor crisis-labor shortage and high turn over of young workers-during the economic boom provoked by the "financial bubble" toward the end of 1980 s, Toyota's management and Union discussed ways of making the work more attractive. Based on this discussion, the production eugineering division developed a new kssembly line concept realized firstly at Toyota Kyushu plant (1992), applied also to Toyota's Motomachi No.2 plant (1994), Tahara No.1 plant (1995) and Motomachi No.1 plant (1996). Among these plants, the construcion of the assembly line at Tahara No. 1 plant constitutes a unique case in the fact that it was not the production engineering division, but the foremen, supervisors and engineers belonging to the plant who conceived and constructed this new assembly line. Moreover, in order to realize what they considered as their ideal assembly line, they proposed to the product development center an important change of car structure and parts design from the very beginning of product development where the so called "concurrent engineering" has started. The first part of this paper explains, and thus why and how they conceived and constructed their own assembly line after presenting this assembly line concept and work orgnaization in this plant.

Title Alternative Strategic Games and R&D Investment with Spillovers
FullText URL oer_030_3_107_124.pdf
Author Haruna, Shoji|
Abstract The paper considers the problem of whether in a strategic two-stage game duopolistic firms make an overinvestment or underinvestment in R & D when there are their spillovers. We deal with two cases of Cournot quantity and Bertrand price competitions. It is shown that in Cournot (Bertrand) competition each firm has an incentive to use a larger (less) or less (larger) investment than the one required to minimize the costs of investment according as its rival's spillover rate is relatively small or large.

Title Alternative Progressive Taxation and Income Inequality: The Intermediate View of Inequality
FullText URL oer_030_3_091_105.pdf
Author Yoshida, Tateo|
Abstract It is known that the post-tax income is more equally distributed than pre-tax income according to any μ-invariant inequality index satisfying Dalton's principle of transfers, if, and only if, a tax function is progressive for μ-inequality (Pfingsten [8]). This paper provides a rigorous formulation of the equivalence, both in strong and weak form. We show that any non-equally distributed pre-tax income distribution is dominated by the resulting post-tax income distribution in the sense of the μ - Lorenz criterion if, and only if, a tax function satisfies both (a)incentive preserving taxation and (b)progressive taxation for μ-inequality.

Title Alternative A Note on the Fiscal Reform in the Present People's Republic of China - Focussing on Local Public Finance under the Market Economy of Socialism in China -
FullText URL oer_030_3_025_056.pdf
Author Sakamoto, Chuji|
Abstract This is a note to treat the fiscal reform in the present People's Republic of China. First I make the general economic survey of People's Republic of China since the beginning of reform and open economic system in 1978 (under the market economy of socialism). Then after reviewing the economic growth, the deficit of central public finance and the regional economic differences in present China, I refer to such fiscal reforms as tax reform and the reform of intergovernmental fiscal relations. In 1994 China introduced 'bunzeisei', a system of tax division between the central and local governments. In present China, however, there is still no law of local autonomy or no competency for flotation of local debt in local governments. So it is very important to secure tax revenue (including the central government) or debt revenue in local governments and to establish the fiscal adjustment system between central and local finance.

Title Alternative Structural Changes of Industry and Employment in Japan
FullText URL oer_030_3_001_023.pdf
Author Hashimoto, Yoshizo|
Abstract The Japanese industry is in a huge whirlpool. Various common senses and conventions have been seriously doubted. Nevertheless, Japan cannot yet find any exit. Even if finding it, she has spent only a time in vain without doing any effectives measure, because most of those are conflict with vested interests or conventional practices. In this paper, I will make a positive analysis of changing industry in Japan after the babble boom crash in 1991 by using Firms and Establishments Census Data and others. Then, I will make it clear that the cause of failure to buoy up her economy consists in a fact that shortage of investment opportunities in her economy has been misunderstood simply as shortage of macro effective demand. Then, comparing the structural adjustment in the first half of the 1990s with one in the second half of the 1970s, I will clarify that the most serious weak point of Japanese-styled management, which has virtually excluded rights of shareholders from their decisions, have got revealed as her economy matures. I will also say that improvement of profitability by making employment fluid is not only effective as a counter-policy to the prolonged structural depression in the open economy but also inescapable in the "affiuent" economy driven by the service industry. Lastly, in place of a conclusion, I will remind a brief summary and lessons of the US and the UK policy experiences after the 1970s.
