In this paper, we employ Japanese Long-term Economic Statistics (LTES) to investigate the sustainability of the public debt, and the changes in fiscal discipline. First, the results of the unit-root test show that public debt in Japan is sustainable. Second, fiscal discipline was strong in the periods between the Russo-Japanese War and the First World War, as well as for several decades after the Second World War. It was also relatively strong during the fiscal consolidation period in the latter half of the 1980s. We can thus conclude that the path of post-war fiscal discipline in Japan is similar to that in the pre-war periods, regardless of the absence of war expenses after World War II. Although an attempt at fiscal consolidation could reduce public debt to some degree, the huge amount of current public debt will cause high rates of inflation in the future, as it did after World War I and World War II.
