“The central premise of Abenomics seems to be that the Bank of Japan could succeed in pushing inflation up to 2% without raising the rates on long-term debt. To do this, one would have to assume that bond investors would accept negative interest rates, even while a falling yen was eating away at principle.  Such an outcome is not consistent with demonstrable human behavior.  If the investors didn’t play ball, it was assumed that the Bank of Japan could step up their quantitative easing and buy the bonds that investors were rationally selling. But the BoJ is already buying 70% of the new government debt.”
