The article discusses how Japan's economy can experience mild deflation due to high demand for money and low interest rates. The researchers use a model to show that public bond price bubbles can occur but are unlikely to burst. They predict that during certain time periods, the price level will switch from inflation to deflation, and interest rates will decrease. If the bubbles burst, prices and interest rates will rise suddenly. The model suggests that government commitment to fiscal reforms can prevent a drastic price surge. In the event of a major disaster, like an earthquake, the economy could suffer significant declines in output.
