Japan economy changed course with Abe's policy: U.S. economists
David Weinstein, professor of economics at Columbia University, told Nikkei that one of the reasons that made Abenomics' three arrows so successful was its promotion. Abe implemented the strategy with "his communication skills by stating that there were these three objectives to policy."
"He helped to focus the debate on what Japan's problems were and how to help Japan," Weinstein said, adding that "he gave people a sense of optimism and a sense of purpose."
Weinstein said it was also important that Abe "had reached out to prominent economists and tutored himself in the policies. So it wasn't just a slogan."
