This paper uses a modi.ed Harrodian model to understand both the long period of rapid Japanese growth and the recent … period of stagnation. The model has multiple steady-growth solutions when the labour supply is highly elastic, and government … intervention, we argue, took the Japanese economy onto a high-growth trajectory. Labour constraints began to appear around 1970 …
