Abstract

This article deals with the empirical analysis of the economic growth of the United States and Japan from 1970 to 2005. Following our analysis in “Quantity or Quality: The Impact of Labor-Saving Innovation on US and Japanese Growth Rates, 1960–2004” (March 2007), we applied the same method to a different data series to confirm our previous findings. As with the previous work, the results shown in this chapter support our view that Japan's declining population can be compensated for by additional quality improvement of the existing labor force.
