Hospodářský vývoj Japonska v letech 1953–1979

The main goal of the thesis is the analysis of the economic development of Japan in the years 1953-1979. The scope of my work primarily concerns the analysis of economic indicators and factors that influenced the economic development of Japan. The theoretical part is focused on the characteristics of economic indicators and related theories. Furthermore, the Japanese development and its economy during the occupation are applied to the theory while in the next section we research the key steps, changes, and events that occurred in this period. The practical part examines the analysis of factors, economic indicators, and the transformation of Japan itself from an international perspective. The contribution of the work lies in a deeper analysis of not only internal, but also external factors and circumstances that caused significant economic growth in the observed period. The industrial policy and the associated rationalization, which had an unquestionable influence on the development of the essential export industry are analysed more in depth along with other fundamental factors of economic growth, e. g. high domestic savings, which partially financed the modernization of Japanese industry. Significant economic growth, which is also referred to as an economic miracle, has made Japan one of the most developed and strongest economies in the world.
