hi, I think there is another good expression for this question in empirical economics.
that is in "Dollar and Yen" by Ronnald in 1997, in which there is a fully explanation of this question, and expressed by which an accelarated appreciation pressure of Japan Yen during the 1990s~ You could hunting for this book for reading, if you really interested in this question,which seems the same thing happens to Chinese Yuan,right now~
