| Abstract | After large-scale natural disasters, governments must procure enormous amounts of many sorts efficiently without delay by concluding the discrete contracts. In addition, these procurements should not impede recovery by individual in market economies. In this paper, by focusing Japanese temporary housing program after East Japan Earthquake, I consider the important factors necessary to achieve desired public procurement during emergency period. After explaining Japanese pre-disaster rules and post-disaster response after the earthquake, I show that the price of temporary house was influenced heavily by the introduction of ad hoc program using a statistic analysis. Based on this discussion, I point out that this ad hoc policy may cause time-inconsistency problem, and adverse impact on the prevention for hazards. In this meaning, to maintain time-consistency is very important for executing public procurement after hazards. * Satoru Tanaka, Ph.D., is a professor at Kobe City University of Foreign Studies.
