| 抄録 | This paper investigates the Japanese direct investment in Portugal overseas territories (or Provinces) and in its mainland. It shows the impact of Portugal’s integration into the European Economic Community that after the 1980s has contributed to the boost of the Japanese direct investment in Portugal. In addition, this paper explains the effects of Japanese FDI in Portugal through the affiliates regional sitting and typology in Portugal. Finally, it takes into account the relationship between trade and foreign direct investments of the main Japanese trade affiliate companies amongst the 100 biggest export and import companies established in Portugal in 1998 and 1999. |

| 抄録 | This paper considers whether firms have incentives to disclose their R&D information to their rivals in Cournot−quantity setting and Bertrand−price setting models. Furthermore, we compare market performances, e.g. R&D investments, prices and profits, in these models. It is shown that whether they have such incentives depends only on the signs of cross−price effects in demand functions, irrespective of the type of competition, e.g. Cournot or Bertrand competition. When making comparisons of them among four modes, we find that the formation of R&D cartels tends to increase the expenditure of R&D investment and then gains more profits. Alternatively, we point out that quantity−setting firms gain more profits in the presence of R&D cooperation than in the absence of it when products are substitutes in terms of Cournot competition. |

| タイトル（別表記） | The Student Exchange Programme between Okayama University and the University of Edinburgh : Sending Students Abroad |

| 抄録 | In February 1991, the Faculty of Economics, Okayama University entered into an agreement with the Faculties of Arts and Social Sciences, the University of Edinburgh, to promote student exchange and academic co−operation. In this paper, we mainly focus on the procedure for sending students on this exchange programme. As it was the first exchange programme that the Faculty of Economics was engaged in, the teaching staff involved had to face problems one after another until the programme got off the ground. The insufficient English language proficiency of the students was always one of the majour concerns. However, spending one academic year abroad broadened students’ outlook remarkably and almost all of them came back to Okayama satisfied with their experiences in Edinburgh. Until 2000 when a faculty−to−faculty agreement promoted to a university−to−university one, as many as 23 students of the Faculty of Economics had been sent to Edinburgh. The programme can be said to have achieved satisfactory results to some extent. So it is worth while examining this experience gained during the past ten years in 1990’s in order to use it for enhancing internationalisation at the Faculty of Economics for the future. |

| 抄録 | It’s time to think over the appropriateness for the present and the prospects of economics. That work should be full of sufferings. In this paper I’ll focus the coordinating power among the sections inside the firm. There are the two kinds of behavior between workers and employers, cooperative and hostile. These behaviors are implemented under the pressure of situations I called rivalry. They are utilized for deciding the level of transaction cost. The cost decides also the internal price and the section’s advantage issuing from its own suitable negotiation, basing on the size of R & D. The activity process of decision-making of an organization is indispensable for the analysis and the boundary of the various internal organization. The internal economic analysis covers the important theory and the empirical knowledge of some hierarchical relations between members inside the firm, that is, employer as a principal and worker as an agent. 'Inside Transactions of the Firm' looks like to be so attractive. The last section-the coordinating mechanism and rivalry-includes the great ideas. People try to do the best for themselves, when things turn out badly for the all. |

| 抄録 | The linguistic concept of register, while not yet defined to the satisfaction of all, is nevertheless a fairly well used one in describing speakers' shifts in language according to situational nonns or constraints. Inappropriateness of register for context is usually seen as a sociolinguistic or pragmatic error. But in some cases it is done intentionally and creatively, such as in several cases of register-shifting humor in the TV series Monty Python's Flying Circus. This paper gives several examples of humorous register shifting in Monty Python, and analyzes how the shifting has its effect. |

| 抄録 | With a population that is aging faster than any other in the world, Japan faces serious public finance problems, particularly when it comes to tax and social security issues. The structural reforms are urgently needed to accommodate the impending demographic change. We look at the Japanese tax and social security systems through a life−cycle general equilibrium simulation model. We aim to establish guidelines for fiscal reform in Japan’s graying society and use such advanced modeling techniques to permit the calculation of the effects of alternative tax policies on capital accumulation and economic welfare. We also examine the impact of progressive expenditure taxation, coming to the novel conclusion that this form of taxation may hold the key to overcoming the large welfare loss Japan faces as its society ages under the current tax system. Furthermore, we present the concrete measures of implementing progressive expenditure taxation. |

| 抄録 | We consider a society which consists of two sectors, the educational sector and the production sector. We define the educational sector as one that produces two outputs jointly, higher education forming human capital and research increasing the stock of social knowledge. Social knowledge determines the level of technology in the production of consumption goods. Our purposes are to clarify the nature of higher education and to analyze efficient resource allocation in a two−sector economy, considering the external effects of education and research activities in the context of an endogenous growth model. |

| 抄録 | Capacity management has one of the most important issues for management accounting and cost management. It has huge accumulation of theoretical and empirical research through the 20th century. In other words, there remain many inextricable disputes on capacity management. Turning to the real business world, we must solve a variety of challenges from strategic mixture of company resources and measurement for their components. Now, capacity is the value−creating ability of an organization. Its ability comes from proper shapes of capacity and cost management system. This paper shows that measurement concept and techniques for capacity costing from historical background are mainly focusing on physical asset. Adding to that, central issue has been around the distribution of unused capacity cost to products. Today’s view of capacity cost management is reinforced to notify forward−looking not retrospective. In this meaning, this paper addresses that capacity cost management should provide supportive instruments in current and future utilization of capacity including nonphysical asset. |

| 抄録 | We investigate R&D behavior of public firms by using oligopoly models with Cournot−type−quantity and Bertrand−type−price competition. Then the following results are obtained. When public and private firms in a mixed oligopoly market are involved in quantity competition, (i) the public firm has a greater incentive to invest in cost−reducing R&D in a public monopoly market than in that market if they are substitutes, and (ii) the public firm has a less incentive to invest in R&D in the oligopoly market if they are complements. Furthermore, suppose that public and private firms in a mixed oligopoly market are involved in price competition. (i) If the products are complements, then a public firm has a greater incentive to invest in cost−reducing R&D in the public monopoly market than in the mixed oligopoly market; and (ii) if they are substitutes, then the public firm has a less incentive to invest in cost−reducing R&D in the public monopoly market than in the mixed oligopoly market. |

| 抄録 | One of the widely held opinions about Japanese firms’ high performance suggests that Japanese employees, organized in teams, are making kaizen (continuous improvements) in their own jobs through quality circles or other initiatives such as a suggestion system. But who are these employees? They would have to be blue−collar workers in the Western perception, but the part of their contribution in improving productivity and price cost does not seem exceed 10% of all improvements obtained. Who then brings about the major part of these improvements? Are the kaizen activities carried out without having relation to the company’s profit strategy? If the employees have an objective in their kaizen activities, who provides the objectives? What do these objectives consist of? How are their activities managed? These questions invite us to inquire about a whole management system of kaizen at Toyota Production System, considered as the basic model of “Lean Production”. But Toyota reoriented its organized kaizen activities toward the construction of more humanized production system during 1990s. This paper then shows this reorientation and the new direction by showing the case of Tahara No.1 plant. Through these discussions, I want to emphasize the importance of organized kaizen activities that group leaders, chief leaders and engineers are carrying out, and also the fact that their activities are now centered not only upon productivity increase but also upon the humanization of work. |

| 抄録 | This note considers a situation in which the publisher of an academic journal seeks to maintain the number of contributions to the journal by subsidizing the contributors with some incentive payments. We show that under the incentive payment scheme that distributes some pre−determined total amount of payments equally to each contributor (the constant total payment scheme), the number of contributions can fluctuate cyclically as well as chaotically over time when the potential contributors form adaptive expectations. Numerical simulations suggest, among other things, that the performance of the constant total payment scheme may be more efficient than the constant per−capita payment scheme when the total amount of payments is supposed to be small. |

| 抄録 | The view about a certain mixed structure with monopoly and competition is the typical subject. Morishima found that the patterns of deciding price are dependent on the main types of price mechanism. I’ll test Morishima’s postulate through use of the recent data. We can consider the relative difference between the manufacturing sector and the agricultural sector in deciding the market price. Especially I am interested in the institutions and features of deciding and changing price in using the mark-up principle under the monopolistic pressures namely, in the circumstances we call rivalry. Concretely those are realized under the fixed, flexible and mixed price economies. The mark-up principle is closely related to the ratio between two sectors in the fixed price economy. Schumpeter told us that the clever firm is able to use his wisdom thoughtfully and effectively by creating, processing his own pricing method and innovational knowledge in R&D. |

| 抄録 | The aim of this article is to examine the change of the relationship between the American labor movement and Japanese communities in the Pacific Northwest in the 1930s. The relationship between the American labor movement and Japanese communities in the Pacific Northwest in the early 1930s was not a friendly one. Most labor organizations continued to reject Japanese workers. White workers, suffering as a result of the Great Depression, were often hostile to the Japanese. The attitudes of Japanese communities toward the labor movement were also not favorable ones. However, some people : Kazue Miyata, Yoshiaki Yamane, Gentaro Oe, and many other unknown activists, continued to believe in the importance of the organization of Japanese workers and committed themselves to the cause of the labor movement in this difficult situation. The situation began to change in the mid−1930s. The start of the NIRA regime made Japanese communities reconsider the significance of the organization of workers in the United States. The development of the CIO lowered barriers for Japanese workers to join unions throughout the United States. Moreover, the general development of the labor movement in the United States, which was stimulated by the enactment of the NIRA and the Wagner Act, of course, affected Japanese communities too. In response to such conditions, the Japanese Restaurant Workers’ Union was organized in around 1936 in Seattle. In the canned−salmon industry in which many Asians were working, the Cannery Workers and Farm Laborers Union was organized in 1933. This union was organized by Filipino workers, but, before long, Japanese and Chinese workers also took part in it. By the beginning of the 1940s, as Daisho Miyagawa stated later, "the union idea was no longer novel or especially provocative of tension and controversy in the Seattle Japanese community". |

| 抄録 | This article reports the successful surgical-orthodontic treatment of an elderly patient with dentofacial deformity and signs and symptoms of temporomandibular disorder (TMD). The patient was a 63-year-old woman with a concave profile due to mandibular protrusion. To correct skeletal deformities, the mandible was posteriorly repositioned by employing intraoral vertical ramus osteotomy (IVRO) following presurgical orthodontic treatment. After active treatment for 31 months, the facial profile was significantly improved and satisfactory occlusion was achieved. In addition, TMD symptoms of clicking sounds on the left side and difficulty in mouth opening were resolved. Regarding the findings of magnetic resonance imaging, anterior disc displacement in the opening phase was improved in the temporomandibular joint on the left side. Furthermore, stomatognathic functions were also improved without any aggravation of age-related problems. In conclusion, surgical repositioning of the mandible using IVRO leads to both morphological and functional improvements even in elderly patients. |

| 抄録 | The link between changes in a subject's metabolic syndrome components and her estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) was evaluated in healthy Japanese women. We used data for 53 Japanese women (46.0±10.9 years) with a 1-year follow up. eGFR was defined by a new equation developed for Japan. There were no significant relationships between eGFR and clinical parameters at baseline. Subjects were given advice for dietary and lifestyle improvement. At the 1-year follow up, eGFR was significantly increased. In addition, changes in eGFR were weakly correlated with systolic blood pressure(r＝－0.306, p＝0.0260). A decrease in systolic blood pressure may be associated with improving eGFR in Japanese women. |
