20 20 ACE Purpose 1. Retest two hypotheses by using the evaluation of investors: a risk premium for bonds issued by such industries 2. Check the policy announcement effects by event studies. Implication of retest? (If both hypotheses are correct) relief policy should be prescribed with an emphasis in non-manufacturing industry causing tsunami the lessons from the Japanese tsunami are not necessarily applicable to the present Japanese slump by the US tsunami. Implication of checking the policy effects? It shows us whether the policy is appropriate to an identified cause of economic slump based on retest.
