What is holding back private investment in Japan? Are market competition and regulation playing a role in depressing investment? A novel firm-level dataset with almost half a million Japanese firms is used to address these questions.

Findings support the hypothesis that sectoral concentration (i.e. reduced competition) has had a significant negative impact on firm- and sector-level investment. Results point to potential benefits from decreasing barriers to entry, protection of incumbents, and market concentration in some sectors. OECD measures of product market regulation indicate that there is room for further reform in the gas and telecom sectors, and deregulation of professional services.
