The purpose of this article is to examine both a virtue and inherent limitations in the Blinder-Oaxaca Decomposition Technique, the most popular econometric method for analysing gender wage differentials. The technique is used to decompose the gender wage gap into two parts: the gender differences in endowment and the differential remuneration of that endowment. The second part is assumed to reflect 'discrimination'. The method has a virtue in quantifying the differences in characteristics and 'discrimination' within the gender pay gap. However, there are some critical limitations that are inherent in the method. (1) The extent of the gender differences and the extent of 'discrimination' depend on variables included in the wage equations.(2) The technique ignores discrimination within or outside the labour market, or women's reaction to discrimination in the workplace, thereby decomposing the gender pay gap into two parts. In other words, the Blinder-Oaxaca decomposition method implicitly assumes that wage gaps arising from differences in endowment are separate from those arising from labour market discrimination. The inclusion of variables that reflect labour market discrimination, such as occupational segregation, increases the estimated effect of 'gender difference in endowment' and decreases the estimated effect of 'discrimination'.(3) The explanatory variables are not independent, which causes some degree of multicollinearity.(4) Breaking down the gender pay gap by individual variables is misleading since the size of the constant and the contribution of the dummy variables in the unexplained portion of the model are influenced by the choice of the base categories for the dummy variables.

Mt. Fuji was listed as a World Cultural Heritage Site in 2013, and has become very overcrowded as a result.While the Mt. Fuji World Cultural Heritage Council was considering how to make appropriate use of Mt. Fuji as a world cultural heritage site, Yamanashi Prefecture authorities submitted a plan for the construction of a Mt. Fuji mountain railway in February 2020 to promote Mt. Fuji tourism.It is claimed that the plan is a good system to eliminate CO_2 emissions from cars by constructing a mountain railway on a toll road, called the Subaru Line, from the foot of Mt. Fuji at Fuji-Yoshida to the fifth station of Mount Fuji.Along with the construction of the Mt. Fuji mountain railway, the plan envisages the construction of infrastructure facilities such as station buildings, power plants, accommodation, restaurants, and toilets around the fifth station as well as the construction of a walking trail called "Otyudou." Furthermore, the construction of an intermediate station is expected, which means that there is a great risk of destroying the nature of Mt. Fuji and damaging the environment and its landscape.Despite the tourism season being limited to three months a year till now, this plan would extend the railway operations throughout the year, including the winter months, which is extremely dangerous due to the poor winter weather conditions.In the area around the fifth station of the Subaru Line, new development activities are hypothetically strictly regulated under the Natural Parks Act and the Cultural Properties Preservation Act. The Yamanashi Prefecture authorities have submitted the construction plan for the Mt. Fuji mountain railway in spite of these regulations. The reason behind this risky project is that it has the support of the Abe administration, which is pursuing an excessive tourism policy.The Fuji World Cultural Heritage Council and conservationists are opposed to this plan. In the midst of these circumstances, the coronavirus pandemic has brought political and economic activity to a standstill, and the progress of the project has been suspended. However, as the coronavirus pandemic comes to an end, it is possible that the opposition movement will be activated and bring the project to an end.

During the recent reform of the Civil Code in Japan, there was some discussion about the need for clear provisions regarding the validity of contracts that are signed when one party has more bargaining power than the other. Such contracts quite often seem to be clearly advantageous to the former party. The practices engaged in when concluding such contracts also seem unfair. Although the proposed provision was dropped from the draft in the end, it is still believed that weaker parties, when negotiating a contract, should be protected from exploitation by stronger parties. In this article, the focus will be placed on the logistics of setting aside such contracts. It is concluded that what matters is not whether inequality exists between the parties, but rather whether the inequality can be assumed, on factual grounds, to have been abused. To put it another way, even in a situation where inequality in bargaining power exists, contracts can still survive if proper advice is proved to have been sufficient to eliminate the influence of the stronger party. This will motivate stronger parties to make arrangements for fair advice, and, as a result, weaker parties can be more empowered to enter into just contracts.

This study explores how persuasive literature review sections in Economics and Management Journals can be developed by using corpus data analysis. Although the importance of the critical review for developing a literature review section in research articles has been recognized, few studies precisely investigate the structure of these research genres. This study conducts a quantitative investigation of 100 representative research papers in social science by comparing the FBROWN and FLOB as reference corpuses. Keyword word analyses are introduced to examine relevant expressions in the research articles. The results indicate that the specific use of reporting verbs in a literature review has a significant effect on guiding readers in academic fields.

The topology of closed convergence (Fell topology) has hitherto served as a standard model of neighboring preferences in economics. Grodal (1974) and Hildenbrand (1974) provided thorough analyses of the Fell topology for irreflexive, transitive, and continuous binary relations on a given set of alternatives. The purpose of this paper is to give a preliminary analysis of whether the Fell topology can be a rational model of neighboring preferences on the space of complete, reflexive, transitive, and continuous binary relations. I demonstrate, as an intermediate result, that the subspace of complete, reflexive, and continuous binary relations is closed, and hence compact, under the Fell topology.

The aim of this paper is to examine the structure and practical transformation of the Family Protection Act (No. 29 of 2013) against domestic violence (hereafter DV) in Papua New Guinea, taking the Melanesian response into consideration. First, I will describe how the Family Protection Act has a comprehensive, namely civil and criminal, legal framework against DV and its components in correspondence with the socio-cultural situation in Papua New Guinea. Second, focusing on actual operation in Manus Province, I will argue the process and reasoning regarding the transformation of the Family Protection Act from its original structure. The point is that the District Court and the police interpret and make use of the Act in relation to other existing measures, such as the Protection Order Rules (2008) and the District Court Act. This study is based on the author’s fieldwork conducted in Manus Province since the Protection Order Rules and the Family Protection Act came into force. The paper can also be considered as a case study for the comparative study of laws against DV in Melanesian countries, showing the Melanesian response to the international human rights regime in general.

This paper describes the later life of the explorer Asaeda Toshio (1893-1968), who was born in Japan and was employed as an artist and photographer on several expeditions in the United States before the war. Details of his early life before he came to the United States and his activities on the expeditions have been revealed in previous studies. However, little is known about Asaeda's life after the expeditions, and there are few documents or articles on this part of his life that summarize the relevant facts. The purpose of this paper, therefore, is to reconstruct the latter half of Asaeda Toshio's life after he ceased to participate in expeditions, during World War Two, up to the end of his life. By tracing the life of a peculiar Japanese American who lived in the U.S. during and after the war, I will also shed some light on the transformation of the world of natural history.

In Japan, when a person is given a deputy order by a court (i.e.placed under "guardianship") because they are incapable of handling their financial affairs, that person ceases to have the right to vote (Section 11 (1) 1 of the Japanese Electoral Law). This is so automatic that there are no further opportunities for them to claim that they are capable of voting. In Japanese law, there is no principle of "assumption of capacity" as provided in Section 1 (1) of the Mental Capacity Act in the U.K. The absence of this principle can easily cause "assumption of incapacity" in many different contexts. In addition, the principles "time-specific" and "issue-specific" are not established in Japanese law. This legal environment has meant that such an association (no financial management=no vote) has been left unquestioned by lawyers, politicians and the general public. Currently, the first case in Japanese legal history is being tried. The automatic deprivation of the right to vote is now being questioned from a "human rights" perspective. The real meaning of "democracy", which is to include "everyone" from various backgrounds, is now at issue.

In this article, I discuss a recent trend in studies on a Palestinian political leader, al-Hajj Amin al-Husayni (1895-1974) with special attention to the relationship between Hajj Amin and the Nazis (National Socialists) during the Second World War. Hajj Amin's enemies have accused him of collaborating with the Nazis. Appointed the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem in the early 1920s, he escaped arrest by the British authorities from Palestine in 1937 for his role in the Palestinian Arab revolt in 1936. He went into exile in Nazi Germany and stayed there until the end of the war, after the failure of Rashid Ali Kaylani's coup in Iraq in 1941. Recently a lot of new studies have been published to emphasize his political role under the Nazi regime. These studies claim that Hajj Amin shared the Nazis'hatred of the Jews. Some researchers also assert that Nazi ideology persists among radical Arab nationalists and Islamic fundamentalists in the Middle East and that the collaboration between the Nazis and Hajj Amin during the war introduced the political and ideological ideas of Nazism into an Arab and Islamic context, especially after September 11, 2001. Against this background, this article tries to re-touch the picture of Hajj Amin's role from Arab and Palestinian perspectives.

Since the Independence of 1947, Indian fisheries have dramatically changed from subsistence fisheries to commercial fisheries. In this process, the main fishery activity was transformed from capture to aquaculture. As an especially noteworthy phenomenon in the modernization processes of fisheries, the shrimp aquaculture industry has developed remarkably by engaging in global value chains, thereby contributing greatly to India's foreign exchange earnings. We can also observe upgrading movements in terms of product quality and varieties of shrimps, as well as production processes, although these upgrading movements still lag behind those of Thailand or Vietnam. However, it is also true that the deepening process of specializing in vannamei shrimp aquaculture for export since 2000 has developed as an enclave economy that has no connection with the development of domestic markets.

China has maintained a policy of exporting labor. It began, first, as political and economic aid projects to other developing countries, but later another project, called "labor cooperation", was added to the category of labor exports. Labor cooperation is a category for sending Chinese citizens abroad to work in areas such as construction, manufacturing and agriculture. The Japanese Technical Internship Program (TIP) receives Chinese workers through this channel of labor cooperation. In the first stage of the TIP's development in Japan, the TIP's institutional purpose of technology transfers was well-coordinated with China's labor cooperation program, since both carried the banner of Japan-China friendship and technology transfers, but as the Chinese government authorized private companies to export labor or set up overseas employment agencies as intermediaries, the system of sending workers abroad became more business-like and private companies faced tough competition. Although China's central and local governments promote the sending of workers abroad to enhance their living conditions, as well as to acquire foreign currency, tough competition in the labor export business to Japan may infringe the human rights of China's dispatch workers in Japan.
