JAPONYA 1991 VE ABD 2007-2009 FİNANS KRİZLERİNİN POLİTİK İKTİSAT PERSPEKTİFİNDEN BİR DEĞERLENDİRMESİ

Abstract

Bu çalışma 1991 sonrasında Japonya’da ve 2007-2009 yıllarında ABD’de meydana gelen krizleri politik iktisat perspektifinden karşılaştırmaktadır. Her iki krizin ortak yönleri finans sisteminde yürütülen deregülasyon ve ardından meydana gelen varlık fiyatı balonunun bir süre sonra patlamasıdır. Japonya’da devlet müdahalesiyle şekillenmiş olan kurumsal yapı krize çare bulamayarak ülkeyi uzun süren bir durgunluktan çıkaramamışken, ABD’de krize hızlı bir şekilde tepki verilmiştir. Bu çalışmada her iki ülkede krizlere yol açan sebepler ülkelerin kurumsal yapıları içerisinde ele alınmış ve politik iktisat bakış açısıyla karşılaştırılmıştır.

A COMPARATIVE ASSESSMENT OF THE JAPANESE 1991 AND US 2007- 2009 FINANCIAL CRISES FROM A POLITICAL ECONOMY PERSPECTIVE

Abstract

This paper compares from a political economy perspective the financial crisis that broke out in Japan after 1991 and in the US during 2007-2009. Common features of both crises are the initial deregulation in the financial sector and the burst of the consequent asset price bubble. The institutional structure shaped by government interventions in Japan was unable to overcome the crisis and the subsequent long recession while the US government responded relatively quickly to the crisis. This paper comparatively evaluates the causes of the crises from the political economy perspective
