The Matlab codes for Chapter 10 is (tentatively) at my lecture notes page. We will work on supplementary materials (data, codes, exercises, slides, etc.) later on - we are focusing on finishing the book for the time being. sites.google.com/view/toshimu...

The new version of our first year PhD Macroeconomics textbook is out. It is not polished yet but now all chapters are included. We hope it would be useful for the new semester. phdmacrobook.org/downloads/

The third is "Firm entry and exit dynamics in Japan: institutions, policies, and empirical insights" by Miho Takizawa. link.springer.com/article/10.1... The firm dynamics in Japan are notably different in the margin of entry and exit from the United States.

The second is "Survey of the effects of unconventional monetary policy in Japan" by Kosuke Aoki and Kozo Ueda. link.springer.com/article/10.1... Japan is well known as the country that started unconventional monetary policy (QE, QQE, forward guidance, yield control, etc.).

The first is "Macroeconomic facts in the Japanese labor market: survey" by Hiroaki Miyamoto. link.springer.com/article/10.1... There has been a lot of interest in the macro-labor facts for Japan, particularly due to its difference from the US labor market.

As the editor of the Japanese Economic Review, I've been following the vision that the JER's role as the English-language journal of the Japanese Economic Association is to introduce high-quality work, especially (although not limited to) related to the Japanese economy, to the world.
