Rezensionen

"This is a useful handbook for anyone contemplating investing in Japanese markets." - Foreign Affairs

"...it combines a solid grounding in economic theory with an empirical richness that would require a year's subscription to Euromoney and Institutional Investor to match...I would recommend this book..." - Journal of Asian Studies
