A study on Non-Performing Assets Cases and Cryptocurrency in Japan

Paper: arXiv 2302.07619

Authors: Burina Fujiwara

Abstract

The economic bubble bursting resulted in a large number of non-performing loans in Japanese financial institutions, which weakened their functions and prevented them from extending credit for normal economic activities. However, cryptocurrency operations are thriving in Japan. In this way, this paper focuses on non-performing assets and cryptocurrencies. The goal is to use literature analysis methods to summarise the development process, types of issuance, mechanisms, evaluation models, application scenarios, and trends in how cryptocurrencies are supervised.

Complexity vs Empirical Score

• Math Complexity: 1.0/10
• Empirical Rigor: 2.0/10
• Quadrant: Philosophers — conceptual discussion, limited math and data

Why this score: The paper relies purely on qualitative literature review without quantitative modeling, mathematical derivations, or rigorous empirical backtesting. It offers a descriptive overview of non-performing assets and cryptocurrency regulation in Japan rather than presenting novel empirical or theoretical contributions.
