Empirical analysis is used to analyze the impact of such measures as DIP (debtor in possession), debt restructuring, majority stock acquisition, and acquisition of majority seats on a board of directors. The project compares U.S. experiences in corporate rehabilitation in the 1980s and the current situation in Japan. Based on this, the project seeks to identify problems in industry revitalization related to corporate revitalization and propose measures for the future. Key points (1) Amid the prolonged economic slump that followed the collapse of the bubble economy, Japan witnessed a series of bank failures. Meanwhile the number of corporate bankruptcies rose and remained high for years. The decade of recession for the Japanese economy was one of corporate bankruptcies and reconstruction, and we believe it is imperative to reflect on and understand what happened in those 10 years. (2) We seek to examine the effect of reform measures for Japan's bankruptcy laws and regulations. These include introduction of the fast-track Civil Rehabilitation Law for court-administered procedures and a series of measures for facilitating workouts, namely, the implementation of the Industrial Revitalization Law, government guidelines for early-stage corporate reorganization initiatives and those for workouts, and the establishment of the Industrial Revitalization Corporation of Japan (IRCJ) and prefectural associations for assisting the revitalization of small and medium-size enterprises (SMEs). In particular, we look into how introduction of the Civil Rehabilitation Law has reduced the time required for rehabilitation procedures and how it has affected the timing at which a debtor or creditor(s) files for court-administered procedures. (3) We aim to study the performance of companies after rehabilitation. Court-administered reorganization procedures under either the Civil Rehabilitation Law or Corporate Reorganization Law would take a minimum of three to five years to complete. Meanwhile, many companies seeking workouts formulate business reconstruction plans requiring a minimum of three years. In consideration of these circumstances, we analyze determinants of post-workout performance of companies. (4) We assess government policies for assisting the rehabilitation of SMEs and the effects of these policies. (5) We examine bank disposal of bad loans, turnaround funds, and the rehabilitation or turnaround of companies. Research results * Research results of this project will be published, some in the form of a RIETI discussion paper or commission paper preliminary to a discussion paper.
