The market for cloud computing is rapidly expanding and changing the nature of business in all industries. This book estimates and analyzes the impact of the diffusion of cloud computing on the Japanese macroeconomy, employing model-based simulations.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eCloud computing services are being provided not only as simple data storage services but also as various value-added services. The market has shifted to an oligopoly, with a limited number of big-name global firms as the main players. This book quantitatively estimates the impact of this shift on Japan’s utility-based social welfare.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe book also discusses public policy measures that can enhance free competition in a cloud computing market with oligopolistic characteristics. One aim of this book is to provide policymakers and researchers with fundamental data and an analytic approach that can be used to formulate public policy around cloud computing in terms of both regulation and market promotion.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAtsushi Ozu\u003c\/strong\u003e is the Deputy Director-General at the Secretariat of the Dispute Settlement Commission, Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications for the Japanese Government.
