X A Consideration of Bureaucratic X-Inefficiency by the Theory of Inert Areas Toshio Uemura Abstract In this paper, I will investigate the various causes and effects of the X-inefficiency in the Governmental bureaucracy. The analytical tools that will be used are the theories of inert areas and effort positions. I think they are powerful analytical weapons to deal with the bureaucratic inefficiencies. Finally, it is a key point to overcome the inert areas of the bureaucracy in the public sector for the sake of Japanese economic reform and progress. Mail Address : uetoshio@asiau.ac.jp
