Based on a unique data set of firms, the authors describe the characteristics of interfirm transactions in a manner unprecedented in the literature. Special emphasis is placed on the nature of payment/collection between firms. Payment for interfirm transactions is usually made on account, or by payment after delivery, rather than by immediate payment. Thus, most interfirm transactions are accompanied by a provision of credit (i.e., lending/borrowing) from a seller to a buyer, referred to as trade credit. Although trade credit is used all around the world and accounts for a large portion of firmsℓ́ℓ balance sheets, researchers, lacking detailed data, have long encountered serious difficulty in clarifying how and why firms use trade credit. In this work the authors use a huge, unique data set of about 380,000 firms in Japan during the 2007ℓ́ℓ2010 period. To grasp the entirety of this enormous data set, which is tantamount to a picture of all firms currently operating in Japan, this brief summarizes descriptive statistics and conducts univariate analyses of the data. Also provided is the legal background of trade credit practice in Japan from the ℓ́ℓlaw and economicsℓ́ℓ perspective. In this manner, the book furnishes vital information that can be used as a reference for future theoretical and empirical analyses of trade credit and interfirm relationships. 000723576 588__ $$aOnline resource; title from PDF title page (viewed September 22, 2014). 000723576 650_0 $$aBusiness networks$$zJapan$$xDatabases. 000723576 650_0 $$aCommercial credit$$zJapan. 000723576 7001_ $$aOno, Arito,$$eauthor. 000723576 7001_ $$aKozuka, Sōichirō,$$d1969-$$eauthor. 000723576 7001_ $$aKazama, Makoto,$$eauthor. 000723576 7001_ $$aUesugi, Iichiro,$$d1969-$$eauthor. 000723576 77608 $$iPrint version:$$z9784431551867 000723576 830_0 $$aSpringerBriefs in economics. 000723576 852__ $$bebk 000723576 85640 $$3SpringerLink$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-4-431-55187-4$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 000723576 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:723576$$pGLOBAL_SET 000723576 980__ $$aEBOOK 000723576 980__ $$aBIB 000723576 982__ $$aEbook 000723576 983__ $$aOnline 000723576 994__ $$a92$$bISE
