This article locates Japan’s financial policies in the context of electoral incentives. The authors compare the government’s bank bailout scheme after 1989 with past government actions. They find that the government’s objectives have shifted from boosting bank profits to ensuring their prudential regulation. The authors conclude with, in their view, optimistic prospects for more majoritarian politics in Japan.
