In this paper, firstly, the definition and market positioning development of GEM are summarized, and the current situation of GEM development is analyzed. At the same time, compared with the main board market, overseas GEM and mature American market, it is found that the GEM market is gradually approaching the standards of overseas markets in terms of IPO, but this is not an act of spontaneous regulation of market system because of the rapid issuance of new shares. So there is no stability, and it is still necessary to continue to make efforts in the construction of various systems. Finally, the paper puts forward some suggestions on the development of China’s GEM market, namely, actively learning from the successful development experience of overseas GEM markets and setting clear targets according to market positioning.

This paper sorts out the problems in applying the current inspection methods for issuing disaster victim certificates to examine the damages on non-wooden apartment buildings that are densely constructed in the Tokyo Metropolitan area, should a major earthquake take place in this area. First, a hearing survey was conducted on diverse business organizations especially to examine the availability of experts on building for damage inspection. Based on this examination, the new inspection scheme is proposed, adopting a selfassessment method in the secondary inspection. And this new scheme is shown to be effective in averting prolongation in time for damage inspection and active usage of experts on building toward this end. In order to evaluate the viability of the new scheme for inspection, a workshop was held with participants from the government offices and various business organizations to recognize the current situation and share this information so as to focus on the tasks to be undertaken in realizing this new scheme.

Many business continuity (BC) plans do not mention food and water for BC personnel. Moreover, the BC relies on the assumption that, during an emergency or crisis, employees’ basic needs and personal hygiene are satisfied. Although no one can engage in BC without these supplies, literature regarding companies’ disaster stocks for their employees is limited. We evaluated the current situation of companies’ stockpiles of food and other supplies and what their employees thought about them after participating in a newly-developed overnight training program that allows the participants to experience situations that they would encounter in a disaster. Thirty-three employees from eight companies in Tokyo participated in the program. Seventy-five percent of the participants’ companies had food stocks for three days as instructed by the Tokyo Metropolitan Government but, after eating four stock meals, 81.3% of the participants thought it would be better if this provision were improved. The stock rate for bedding was 62.5% but less than 30% of companies stocked both blankets and mats, as suggested by the Sphere Standards. There were several people who complained of sleeplessness and a poor physical condition the next morning and this could be an obstacle in the BC.

Abstract To adequately capture the market structure of vegetables in Japan, it is necessary to develop an oligopolistic model due to the potential market power of producers vs. retailers. We first estimate the market power between producers and retailers by extending the bilateral oligopoly model. Next, we evaluate the role of the wholesale market and its effect on economic welfare. Our results indicate that the wholesale market benefits both producers and consumers through a reduction in retail margins. This study contributes to the industrial organization literature by developing a bilateral oligopoly model and empirically measuring the wholesale market system in Japan.
