The illiquid land of the rising sun

Article Abstract:

The Japanese economic system that successfully lifted the country from the devastation of the Second World War has also concentrated much of the nation's wealth in land. This high valuation of Japanese real estate, useful as collaterals when applying for loans, now serves as a hindrance to the revitalization of the economy. The illiquid state of Japanese real estate, which has led to its inefficient utilization, must be addressed if the country is to achieve a successful restructuring of its economy.

Gulf producers and the oil majors: it's not deja vu all over again

Article Abstract:

A more cooperative and productive relationship is expected to rise from the currently evolving relationship between the international oil companies and Gulf oil producers. This new relationship is attributed to the efforts of OPEC to control oil production and the effects of oil price increases. Some implications of this relationship for foreign participation include liberalization and privatization, and the invitation of foreign firms by oil producers.
