A simple macromodel is constructed and carefully estimated. A dynamic simulation analysis is conducted in order to evaluate various causes of recovery. It is found that the recovery of Japan owed mainly to both deficit spending and expansion of exports, while the contribution of a rise in profit rate (fall in real wage) or low interest rate policy is rather marginal. The expansion of exports was ignited by exchange rate depreciation, but their sustained growth was due to development of markets in colonial and semicolonial regions based on capital exports from Japan.
