Bullet Trains (Enthusiast Color Series)
ASIN: 0415320526 |
Book Description
The image of the shinkansen - or "bullet train" - passing Mount Fuji is one of the most renowned images of modern Japan. Yet, despite its international reputation for speed and punctuality, little is understood about what makes it work so well and what its impact is. This book provides a comprehensive account of the history of the shinkansen, from its planning during the Pacific War, to its launch in 1964 and subsequent development. It goes on to analyze the reasons behind the bullet train's success, and demonstrates how it went from being simply a high-speed rail network to attaining the status of iconic national symbol. It considers the shinkansen's relationship with national and regional politics and economic development, its financial viability, the environmental challenges it must cope with, and the ways in which it reflects and influences important aspects of Japanese society. It concludes by considering whether the bullet train can be successful in other countries developing high-speed railways. Overall, this book provides a thorough examination of the phenomenon of the shinkansen, and its relationship with Japanese society.

Book Description
Poverty among black children has increased in recent years. This monograph focuses on trends in black children's economic well-being between 1960 and 1985. Five factors-family structure, number of earners in the family, geographic location, reliance on public assistance, and the age of the family head-are examined to determine their effects on the recent decline in the economic status of black children.

Book Description
Japan's financial markets have seen dramatic changes recently. One of them is the explosive growth of currency trading and the increasing international role of the yen. Tokyo has become the third largest center of foreign exchange worldwide, behind London and New York.
The Japanese Foreign Exchange Market gives a comprehensive overview of this activity. It provides a comparative economic analysis of practices and risks as well as related policy issues.
After a short introduction to the history of money in Japan, the work focuses on three areas: general characteristics of the market, the nature of foreign exchange rates and policy issues. This is the first non-Japanese language title to examine the prolific rise of Japan's foreign currency market , its idiosyncracies, and its future role in the global economy.

Description:
In previous empirical work, the link between the interventions of the Bank of Japan (BoJ) and exchange rate volatility has mainly been analyzed by using data on press reports of BoJ interventions. We use official intervention data for the period 1993-2000 that were released only recently by the BoJ. We find a positive link between the interventions of the BoJ and the volatility of the yen/U.S. dollar exchange rate. We also find that those BoJ interventions that were not reported in the financial press were positively correlated with exchange rate volatility.
