摘要：Under the recent conditions of fiscal deficit and sluggish economic growth, it is very important to devise methods to energize the economy without government funding. This paper considers the ripple effects in Hokkaido that would result from residents consuming an extra Genghis Khan (Mongolian mutton barbecue) meal per year, and outlines an effective example of the theory of comparative advantage. The reasoning behind this thought is that the ingredients of a Genghis Khan meal consist of mutton that is 99% imported from Oceania and vegetables that are 100% Hokkaido. The related research assumed a Hokkaido population of 5.63 million people and an expenditure of US$12.25 ($1 = ￥100) per person per year on Genghis Khan Cuisine. Estimation using these figures indicated an annual increase in personal income by US$17.42 per person and the creation of 1,118 jobs as a result of the theoretical extra consumption. It was found that the promotion of Genghis Khan Cuisine would be an effective regional policy under the benefits of comparative advantage without the need for government finance.
