Abstract
More than half a year has passed since Russia invaded Ukraine. The world has responded to the invasion in three ways: sanctions of the G7 countries and the EU etc. against Russia, supports of Russia by China and other anti-democratic countries and neutral attitudes of India and the global south. In this symposium, I explain how the European Union and Germany have responded to the invasion. In retaliation, Russia has used its natural gas supply to Europe as a weapon to do damage to the EU and Germany especially. The EU and Germany are faced with high inflation, gas shortage and recession. How do they respond to this risky situation and what kind of prospects do they have? Let us consider such problems in this symposium.
◆ Hosted by Asian Growth Research Institute (AGI)
◆ Jointly Hosted by the City of Kitakyushu, and the Kitakyushu Chamber of Commerce and Industry
◆ Sponsored by the Industry Club of West Japan

Title
自動車の完全自動運転下における損害賠償ルールと安全性能の選択
Abstract
完全自動運転自動車が社会に普及した場合、事故確率や被害額は自動車性能のみによって決まるため、事故責任は自動車性能のみに帰する。このため、 被害額の負担について、損害賠償制度による解決に加え、製造物責任による 解決が可能となる。事故被害の負担ルールは、自動車製造業者や自動車利用 者の安全性能の選択や利用者の自動車利用頻度に影響を与える。Shavell (2020)は、自動車利用者の意思決定に焦点を当て、ファーストベストを実 現するためには、事故当事者が自分の被害額を自己負担するとともに、相手 の被害額を政府に支払う損害賠償制度(Shavell ルールと呼ぶ)が必要なことを示している。本論文で、Shavell (2020)を安全性能の技術開発を考慮したモデルに拡張すると、ファーストベスト実現のためには、(1) 個人の効用 関数が同一の場合、Shavell ルールでは、過大な安全性能技術が開発される ため、安全性能に応じた自動車購入税、あるいは、技術開発税の導入が必要、 (2)このとき、自動車利用に応じたフェアプレミアムな損害保険が利用可 能な場合には、(1)と同等の政策が必要、(3)効用関数に異質性があると、 技術開発のインセンティブを強める必要が生じる場合があり、その場合、自動車購入補助金、あるいは、技術開発補助金への変更が必要、(4)製造物責任制度の下では、自動車利用税及び自動車購入補助金の実施が必要となることを示す。

Abstract
This report explores the possibility of expanding exports of agricultural products including forestry, fishery products and foods, which is necessary to revitalize agriculture in Kyushu and Japan. It examines in particular how to take advantage of Kitakyushu Airport for increases in exports of agricultural products by air cargo from Kyushu to Asian regions.
Exports of agricultural products were promoted under Abe’s administration and various kinds of policies were implemented. After introducing development of those policies in the past and now, it is focused the reality of agricultural exports by air cargo from Fukuoka and Kitakyushu. Yamato Transport Co., Ltd. partnered with Japan Airlines is supposed to operate cargo planes from April 2024, and Kitakyushu Airport was selected as Kyushu’s only freighter airport. In addition to connecting Tokyo metropolitan area and Kyushu, Kitakyushu Airport is expected in the future to connect with other areas in Japan through airway networks and to function as a gateway to Asia for exporting agricultural products. The conditions for the business and the issues to be resolved are also discussed.
