Statistics





Based on the data and the graphs above, Japan's economy seems to be steadily growing and would be considered to be an expansion in the business cycle. However, especially given recent events, it could be likely that Japan's economy may have peaked or will soon peak.

    What is the currency for the top table? I think there is something amiss with the figures for real GDP.

Income Inequality (Lorenz Curve and Gini Coefficient

  Above is the Lorenz Curve for Japan in the years 2008 and 2013. The Gini Coefficient for 2008 was 0.348 and the Gini Coefficient for 2013 was 0.329. The change in the Gini coefficient as well as the change in the distribution of income in each quintile shows that the distribution of income is becoming slightly more equal (lower 80% of people have gained more wealth).

Aggregate Demand Factors

From these graphs, it seems as if Japan experienced some slow growth for aggregate demand. However, around 2015 it can be seen that there was less consumer and government expenditure. We can also see that Japan seemed to see the most growth from 2009 to around 2012. When looking at GDP growth, Japan saw the most growth between 2009 and 2010. Since GDP and Aggregate demand are calculated in the same way (GDP being aggregate demand in the long run), it can be expected that the trends in Japan's GDP, factors for aggregate demand, and aggregate demand would be similar.
