SINCE THE PERSISTENCE OF Japan's economic stagnation first became apparent, the Japanese government has been offered a flood of advice from macroeconomic policy analysis. Much of this advice emanated from the official sector, most prominently from the U.S. Treasury and the International Monetary Fund (IMF), but a host of academics were likewise generous in their recommendations. 1 Yet both the degree to which Japan has followed this advice and the effects of the macroeconomic policies undertaken remain in dispute. Economic commentators and other observers of Japan have split over whether standard Keynesian policies were tried and failed, whether the policies implemented had the expected effects but were offset by other factors, or whether some of the recommended policies (monetary expansion, in particular) never were seriously tried at all. 93
