Theoretical and Empirical Studies of the Economic Impacts of the Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake in the Kobe Region and South-East Asian labor Market

在本研究中，我们主要探讨了以下四个主题：1.坂神地震后产业向东南亚的转移2.位于科比的企业的反应，特别是资本向国外的流动3.估计震后福利项目的需求和要求4.福利行业需求增加创造劳动力需求。前两个流行与地点变化有关，地震，而运动是由地震激发的。我们的重点是向特别是东南亚国家的工业转移。我们指出，地震加速了资本流动，可能会出现跨期失业，但福利产业如何吸收地震造成的失业，仍是我们思考的课题。首先估算了福利品的潜在需求，然后估算了福利产业的劳动力需求。因此，我们建议孵化福利产业不仅可以有效地创造劳动力需求，还有助于科比地区经济的稳定。

In this research, we have investigated four main subjects as follows,1.industrial shift to the South-East Asia after Hanshin Earthquake2.response of the firms which located in Kobe, especially capital movement to abroad3.estimating the demand and requirement of the welfare program after The Earthquake4.creation of labor demand from the increase in the demand for welfare industry.First two popics are related to the location change due to the earthquake, and the movement has been stimulated by the earthquake. We have focused on the industrial shift to especially South-East Asian countries. We pointed out that the earthquake accelerated the capital movement, and that intertemporal unemployment may be occurred.Remained topics have been considered for which the welfare industry could absorb the unemployment caused by the earthquake. The potential demand for the welfare goods was firstly estimated, and then labor demand in the welfare industry. As a result, we suggested that the incubating the welfate industry may not only be effective to create the labor demand, but also contribute to the stability of the regional economy in Kobe.
