Reviewing the experiences of japan, this paper analyzes factors that determine and shape the output generation. This article seeks to apply the Cobb Douglas production function, which is to analyze the contribution of each input in a set of combined factor inputs, by examining which factor input amongst research activities, labor or capital has a larger influence on output. The dynamic of output is measured in integrated factors, and the progress in understanding the output source will improve the computation of Cobb Douglas production function, which is the objective of this study. Data obtained from Research Institute of Economy, Trade and Industry (RII.*l'I'I) japan Industrial Productivity GIP) Database 2011 and Japan Statistics Official in the period of 1970 to 2008 are used to test the hypotheses. Multiple regression method was conducted. The ?ndings of this study provide substantial lessons for Indonesia, particularly with regards to the improvement of the industrial policy regarding innovation and technology.

| Summary/Abstract |
This paper evaluates the role of economic geography in explaining regional wages in China. It investigates the extent to which market proximity can explain the evolution of wages, and through which channels. We construct a complete indicator of market access at the provincial level from data on domestic and international trade flows; this is introduced in a simultaneous-equations system to identify the direct and indirect effect of market access on wages. The estimation results for 29 Chinese provinces over 1995-2002 suggest that access to sources of demand is indeed an important factor shaping regional wage dynamics in China. We investigate three channels through which market access might influence wages beside direct transport-cost savings: export performance, and human and physical capital accumulation. A fair share of benefits seems to come from enhanced export performance and greater accumulation of physical capital. The main source of influence of market access remains direct transport costs.

| Summary/Abstract |
This paper analyzes whether and to what extent countries reconstitute the rule of law following civil conflict. Drawing on an original data set of 47 cases in which conflict ended between 1970 and 1999, we find that the cessation of conflict has at best a modest effect on the rule of law. On average, countries revert to the pre-conflict rule-of-law status quo ante. In simple models, rule of law prior to the onset of conflict is the best indicator of post-conflict performance. Analysis of individual cases using structural break analysis shows that the cessation of conflict is not typically associated with an inflection in the rule of law; improvements are modest, take a long time, and fall far short of plausible thresholds for robust rule of law.
