What is it about?
The paper examines whether there exists a J-curve and S-curve in the Services Trade of Japan with the Rest of the World in six different service sectors. The paper finds that barring a few cases, the J-curve and S-curve were found to be generally weak and symmetric (or upright)

Why is it important?
This study adds to the growing literature on the application of the J-curve (and even the S-curve) in the service trade (given that it was previously restricted to the goods trade). Moreover, an analysis of Japan would prove helpful in analysing the volatility of the domestic (and even global) service trade, given Japan's predominant position in the global services trade across various sectors.
Perspectives
This article is my second co-authored article in this field, and builds into my existing area of interest in International Economics. The application of the concept of J-curve in the services trade is a relatively new area, which I hope to explore further.
