This paper develops a banking model to examine the conventional view that the main bank makes restructuring decisions efficiently since it holds significant blocks of both equities and loans to its client firm in financial distress. The paper shows that the efficiency of restructuring decisions depends upon the structure of the main bank's financial claims to the firm as well as the capital structure and the debt structure of the firm. It is also shown that seniority, renegotiability, and the maturity structure of the main bank's debt claim to the firm affect the

The purpose of this paper is to analyze the relationship between the technological innovations and the patent systems in prewar Japan. In the Japanese patent system, there has been a specific law for protecting small inventions. The law is called the "New Utility Model Law", and had greatly contributed to technological and industrial development in prewar Japan. In prewar Japan, the conventional industries had large market share, and their technological innovations were mainly improvements of old technologies. However, the law strongly supported the development of conventional industries. Technologies protected by the aforementioned law significantly contributed to the economic development of Japan, which had been a backward eountry.

In this paper, I examine whether Schumpeter's Hypothesis on innovation and market structure with regard to Prewar Japan is valid or not through statistical analysis. Then, with respect to the effect of the Zaibatsu (family-controlled business group) on Japanese technological development in the prewar era, attempt to show my own findings.

We consider decompositions of financial time series that identify important modes of variation in the series. The first term in the decomposition measures long-term trends and focuses on large-scale features of variability. The second term measures short-term trends and local features of variability remaining after the long-term trend has been removed. The third term measures the irregularity left in the series after the long- and short-term trends have been subtracted out. This term is further broken down by regressing it on its own lagged values. One goal of this decomposition is to transform a "raw" time series into three interpretable terms plus a term that is approximately noise. In this paper, the methodology is applied to the exchange rates of Japanese Yen (JY), German Marks (GM), Swiss Francs (SF), and British Pounds (BP) in the unit of U.S. dollars. Similarities and differences in the trends between these currencies as well as their volatilities are discussed.

In this paper, we mathematically formalize the structure of the firm value when stock options are issued. Using the result, we show that the wealth of the stock holders do not transfer to the stock option holders at the maturity of the stock option ,and that the stock option gives the stock option holders the incentive for better firm's performance which brings the stock holders the more profit.

The Internet provides a new marketplace for the sale of information. Firms who want to make profits from selling information on the Internet must succeed in reducing quality uncertainty, restricting information resale, and finding optimal price-quality combinations. This article develops solutions to each of these three problems and compares the solutions with respect to their profit and welfare effects.
