From the Paper:

"The main result of the American Occupation of Japan by many accounts was the fact that Japan came out of it as one of the strongest and most educated, technologically advanced nations of the world. In recent decades Japan has even been more advanced than America in many areas of technology and mathematics and it can be traced back to the measures put into place to begin a democracy in Japan during the 1945-1952 occupation (Costa, Danielle The American Occupation in Japan 1997 Tufts University: Chinese and Japanese Politics)"
