  In this study, the author analyzed the impact of the unification of two tax bases for municipal income tax on premium collection rates in the 1960s by using DID estimation.
  The unification has a significant positive effect on the NHI's premium collection rate. Therefore, it can be said that as the disposable income of the residents increased by the unification of the tax bases and the ability to pay the insurance premium increased, more residents were able to pay the insurance premium. This shows that the tax reduction policy to correct regional disparities in the burden of municipal income tax also contributed to the realization of universal health insurance.

  We analyzed prefecture-level long-term panel data on local public finance from pre-war through the post-war periods. Our research outcomes include a paper analyzing the dynamics of local public finance during the period 1883-1917. This is the first paper to examine how the levels of local revenue and expenditure per capita and their regional disparities developed in prefectures, cities, and towns and villages during the period from the 1880s to the 1910s, when intergovernmental fiscal adjustment systems did not exist in Japan, using prefecture-level panel data. We also wrote a paper analyzing the dynamics of local public finance during the period 1909-1935 and a paper comprehensively examining the pre-war period 1887-1935, which were presented at national and international conferences respectively.

  Japan's National Health Insurance (NHI) system operated at the prefectural level. A minimum healthcare cost of one yen to be eligible for the Cost Sharing Program for Fiscal Stability of the NHI System was simulated in order to quantitatively demonstrate itseffect. The disparity of the insurance premium/tax obligation among insured individuals owing to the shift in fiscal management from local municipality to prefecture increases further in some prefectures.
