520 |a Japanese officials commonly claim that their country retains and uses capital punishment because it deters homicide. Although this claim is contested, few empirical studies have been done to assess the empirical reality.

Using vector autoregression models, it concludes that neither death sentences nor executions deter homicide or robbery-homicide.
