On January 1998, the U.S. and Japan agreed upon a new bilateral civil aviation framework. This study conducts a comparative analysis of the pre-1998 and the new U.S.-Japan civil aviation frameworks and examines to what extent government regulations have been removed. Four major research findings are drawn. First, in 1980's, the Japanese Ministry of Transport (MOT) partially enforced route and capacity regulations by freezing the original 1952 U.S.-Japan Aviation Treaty. Subsequently, the two-tier framework, more protective than the Treaty, was established, leading to inequality in competitive conditions among market participants. Second, the framework was not restrictive enough to control the U.S.-Japan market and protect Japanese carriers. Third, the new framework is far more liberal and transparent than the old framework or the current U.S.-U.K. and U.S.France ones. It is practically close to a free trade, i. e., open skies, framework. Fourth, MOT continues to insist on regulating international aviation services, although it embarked on substantial liberalization of the U.S.Japan framework.

This article introduces two methodologies that can be largely useful to empirical analysis in international economics but have not been fully utilized in the field: randomized controlled trials and network analysis. These methods can contribute to a number of topics in international economics including learning by exporting, FDI spillovers, and international diffusion of knowledge and economic shocks, correcting for biases due to endogeneity and specifying channels of diffusion.
