Abstract


Japan is now struggling for a recovery from the devastating earthquake and tsunami of March 11, 2011.

We argue that strengthening links with East Asia is a key supplementary policy for achieving a full economic recovery. Our Geographical Simulation Model assesses economic effects of several policy scenarios.
