Summary of this issue
The liquidity trap is a very rare phenomenon, and the current Japanese situation is only comparable with the US experience during the Great Depression. However, similar phenomena took place in the US and European countries during the recent global financial crisis and the European sovereign debt crisis. Why the policy rate hit the zero lower again in Japan and other industrial countries since the Great Depression? This may be a big question to be asked. This issue addresses this questions with a particular focus on deflation in Japan.
