	JAPAN'S BUBBLE ECONOMY
		The bubble in property values would not have been significant except for the fact that the use of land as collateral for loans and the fact that the taxing authorities tend to use those peak prices in valuing property subject to the inheritance tax.
		One of the scandalous incidents of the Bubble Economy is the discovery that the prestigous Industrial Bank of Japan (IBJ) lent 240 billion yen to an Osaka restaurant owner, Onoue (Nui), on the basis of forged certificates of deposits.
		Although the Bubble Economy ended essentially in 1990 it wasn't until January 29, 1993 that a Japanese prime minister acknowledged that the "Bubble Economy" had collapsed.

	Economic bubble - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Economic bubbles are generally considered to have a negative impact on the economy because they cause misallocation of resources into non-optimal uses.
		In addition, the crash which follows an economic bubble can destroy a large amount of wealth and cause continuing economic malaise as was the case of the Great Depression in the 1930s and Japan in the 1990s.
		Some regard bubbles as related to inflation and thus believe that the causes of inflation are also the causes of bubbles.

	Economy of Japan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Japan's industrialized, free-market economy is the world's fourth-largest by purchasing power parity (PPP) after the United States, China and recently India.
		Its economy is highly efficient and competitive in areas linked to international trade, but productivity is lower in areas such as agriculture, distribution, and services.
		After achieving one of the highest economic growth rates in the world from the 1960s through the 1980s, the Japanese economy slowed dramatically in the early 1990s, when the "bubble economy" collapsed.

	Final book of Daniel; true account of a reincarnated, angelified biblical prophet.
		Bubbles, panics and crashes are a permanent feature of the economic cycle.
		By the nineteenth century, the world economy was creating and popping bubbles with the speed of a giant jacuzzi.
		But a feature of all bubbles, he emphasises, is the lethal combination of two flawed beliefs: first, that there is something new in the world, and second, that success is the result of this insight.

	ArgMax Economics Weblog: Bubble Confusion
		Roughly from 1995 through the end of 2000, the Bubble Economy was known as the new economy, and nearly everyone thought it was a marvelous thing.
		A stock bubble affects the economy similarly to expansionary monetary policy, so "bubble economy" may not be precise but it is descriptive.
		The stock market and the economy are of course related, however, the implication from the language is that the economy somehow did not perform as well as we previously thought.

		Because bubbles in a domestic economy follow rapid internal dynamic processes, it may be difficult to harmonize the slow pace of international diplomacy on economic policy with the rapid developments in a bubble economy.
		The bubble economy may be the result, in part, of financial deregulation which has the effect of directing bank credit into particular economic sectors, especially real estate.

		Influencing the slow recovery of the Japanese economy was the sharp rise in the value of the Japanese yen.
		The primary characteristic of Japan's postwar economy is the 15-year period of high growth, beginning in the mid-1950's, that enabled it to catch up with the developed economies of Europe and the United States.

		Here are five examples of historic speculative bubbles: the Dutch Tulipmania (1634-1638); the Mississippi Bubble (1719-1720); the South Sea Bubble (1720); the Bull Market of the Roaring Twenties (1924-1929); and Japan's "Bubble Economy" of the 1980s.
		The bubble burst in May 1720 when a run on the Banque Royale forced the government to acknowledge that the amount of metallic currency in the country was not quite equal to half the total amount of paper currency in circulation.
		The stock market bubble was fueled by a Japanese corporate invention, known as "zaitech," or "financial engineering," by which speculation became an integral part of corporate earnings statements.

	Growth in the Post-Bubble Economy (2003-17, 06/20/2003)
		The extraordinary burst of investment during the late 1990s coincided with the emergence of a major speculative bubble in the U.S. stock market—itself fueled by the very same optimistic projections about the future.
		Job losses in the U.S. economy have continued to trend upward for more than a year after the presumed end date of the 2001 recession—yet another atypical pattern relative to the average recession.
		Alternatively, in the aftermath of what many consider to be the greatest speculative bubble in history, it is quite possible that investment is being restrained by fundamental factors that will take longer to overcome.

	US economy: the bubble has burst (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		The basis for the upturn in the US economy in the 1990s and the initial growth was the dramatic restructuring of American capitalism in the late 1970s and early 1980s, and to a lesser extent in the early 1990s.
		By the mid-1990s for these reasons the upturn in the US economy appeared to be running out of steam, as the effect of the rationalisation at the turn of the decade worked itself out.
		But what is clear is that the bubble of the last five years has burst, and that from now on American capital will have to grapple with its real problems without the aid of the financial hysteria we have seen recently.

		And some economists have begun to refer to the economy as a bubble, which could burst on the first signs of bad economic news.
		After all, if you look at our economy we've been in in 15 years of expansion interrupted only by seven months of recession since 1982, so we've been in recession in our economy four percent of the time over the last 15 years.

	The Japanese Bubble Economy by Mark Thornton
		Experts tell us that the Japanese and their economy are very different from the U.S., and that their bubble and policy response to its crash were likewise different, but while there certainly are many important differences between the U.S. and Japan, the technical features and new-age thinking are strikingly similar in both bubbles.
		Ignoring the economic condition of scarcity and grasping the concept of an economy of perpetual unutilized resources is a precondition for new-era thinking, as well as a quintessential mistake of freshman college students taking their first course in economics.
		In retrospect, the new-era thinkers of the Japanese bubble economy seem conceited and hopelessly naïve, but that is the power of bubbles to deceive.

		Mention the Bubble Economy and it conjures up images of shredded documents and half-built Houston mansions, depleted pension accounts and executives being led off in handcuffs.
		Many of the key people involved in the economy appear to have gotten so caught up in the euphoria, and blinded by the financial rewards dangled in front of them, that they stopped doing their jobs, or convinced themselves that the nature of their jobs had changed.
		By the mid-1990s, the U.S. economy was awash in it, partly the result of the democratization of finance in the past two decades, which had driven up the percentage of American households that own stock from less than a quarter to more than half.

		The origin of the bubble economy can be traced to the G-5 Plaza Accord of September, 1985, an agreement designed, among other things, to coordinate economic policy in the major industrialized nations and to counteract protectionist forces.
		The cost to the banks, which would not become fully apparent until after the bursting of the bubble, was that they were exposed to downturns in asset prices, as well as to the business losses that their borrowers would experience when conditions worsened.
		Although the economy was racing and unemployment was a minuscule 2.2-2.3 percent during the Fall 1989, there were few signs of inflation; consumer prices were rising only at about 2.3-3.0 percent.

	Rogue Missives - A Bubble Economy? by Jim Surowiecki
		The deluge of American press accounts of the rise of Japanese economic supremacy, many of which took the paper wealth generated by the Bubble Economy as permanent, took the Nikkei and real-estate rises as evidence that things had fundamentally changed in the world economy.
		The proximate cause of the bubble bursting was, at least in part, the introduction of futures trading on the Nikkei on the Singapore Stock Exchange (Simex), of all places.
		The deeper point, though, is that the story of what happened to the Nikkei cannot be separated from the specific conditions of the Japanese economy in the 1980s and from the incestuous manner in which the Nikkei was run.
