Changes in the legal environments in the areas of non-standard employment, extension of the mandatory retirement age, work-life balance, etc. are also pressing the reform. How are such changes affecting the way people work and the way workforces are being managed? Researchers from the Institute of Social Science of the University of Tokyo and the Research Institute of Economy, Trade and Industry have been analyzing personnel data in order to shed light on the relationship between personnel policies and the behaviors of employees and managers. In this symposium, we share some of our findings as well as discussing many related issues with leading economists including Professor Edward P. Lazear (Stanford University), who has contributed enormously in forming the field of "personnel economics," which studies employment systems quantitatively. Through the panel discussion among economists from both Japan and the United States, we investigate important human resource management policy issues faced by Japanese firms and explore desirable personnel reforms.
