项目摘要

Three major findings of this research are as follows :Firstly, although the methodology of the analysis based upon the public choice theory was established, assuming the political situation in the U.S., it can effectively be applied to that in Japan. Especially concerned with the matters around food policies, it is found to be helpful to clarify and unravel the intricacies of political economy.Secondly, with regard to the rice set-aside program, focusing on the newly proposed system, the Cooperatives-led production adjustment system, political feasibility is examined, considering the outcome of the past experiences of set-aside programs. Holding opinions of farmers and hamlets in esteem is often appreciated, however, it is concluded that such esteem may cause inefficient resource allocation. Rather, simply proportionate allocation of set-aside acreage or proportionate allocation depend upon supply-and -demand balance can be more appropriate.Thirdly, Food safety issues are controversial and the relationship between scientific knowledge and political judgments is often contended. Although the BSE problem may only be focused on, various resources of food borne risks were comparatively investigated in this research. AS a result, there can be observed that various resources are focused on alternately. According to the theoretical analysis, it is suggested that the behaviors of politicians and bureaucrats may both enlarge emotional fluctuation of consumers' food scares.

本研究的三个主要发现如下：首先，虽然建立了基于公共选择理论的分析方法，但假设美国的政治局势，它可以有效地应用于日本的政治局势。特别是关注粮食政策问题，有助于理清和理清政治经济的错综复杂的问题。其次，在稻米休耕方面，重点关注新提出的制度，合作社主导的生产调整。系统，考虑了过去预留计划经验的结果，审查了政治可行性。尊重农民和村庄的意见往往受到赞赏，但得出的结论是，这种尊重可能会导致资源配置效率低下。相反，简单地按比例分配预留面积或根据供需平衡按比例分配可能更为合适。第三，食品安全问题存在争议，科学知识与政治判断之间的关系经常存在争议。尽管可能只关注疯牛病问题，但本研究对食源性风险的各种来源进行了比较调查。结果，可以观察到各种资源交替集中。根据理论分析，政治家和官僚的行为都可能放大消费者食品恐慌的情绪波动。
