A FIRE economy is any economy based primarily on the Finance, Insurance, and Real Estate sectors. The origins of the term are unclear. Barry Popik describes some early uses as far back as 1982.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Big Apple: FIRE (Finance, Insurance, Real Estate) & ICE (Intellectual, Cultural, Educational) )〕 Since 2008, the term has been commonly used by Michael Hudson〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Official FIRE Economy site )〕 and Eric Janszen.〔http://harpers.org/archive/2008/02/0081908〕 It is New York City's largest industry and a prominent part of the service industry in the U.S. overall economy and other Western, developed countries. ==Definition== This term is frequently used in the financial press and blogs. Its origin is in the realm of North American industrial classification. "Finance, Insurance, and Real Estate" is the title of ''1992 U.S. Census Bureau Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) Division H''.〔(1992 U.S. Census Bureau Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) Division H )〕 Its coverage〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=CENSUS OF FINANCE, INSURANCE, AND REAL ESTATE )〕 was "All domestic establishments that provide financial, insurance, or real estate services." Its coverage was elaborated〔()〕 in two-digit SIC codes 60 through 67. The SIC was replaced by the North American (Canada, USA, Mexico) Industry Classification System〔()〕 (NAICS) starting in 1997. The SIC had ten top-level divisions, NAICS has twenty. The new NAICS essentially split the old Division H into code 52 Finance and Insurance〔()〕 and code 53 Real Estate and Rental and Leasing.〔()〕 The newer NAIC two-digit codes, 52 and 53, are extensively elaborated – down to the five-digit level. They remain largely unchanged in the 2007 NAICS drill down chart〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=NAICS Search )〕 whose details are this for code 52〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=NAICS Search )〕 and this for code 53.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=NAICS Search )〕 The entire mapping from SIC to NAICS is shown in this table〔()〕 or this one.〔()〕 The second use of the term derives from the study of financial capital and income – as opposed to industrial capital and income. To characterize the so-called financial services industries, economists carved out part of the SIC/NAIS breakdown of types of industry: finance, insurance, and real estate. They contracted this to FIRE, deliberately invoking the negative connotations which were, at least then, contrary to conventional wisdom. The following table elaborates on this dichotomy in the header row and gives examples in ensuing rows. At the city scale, Sassen has done a lot of researches of the FIRE influences to the Global Cities, such New York, London and Tokyo, since 1984.〔The global city : New York, London, Tokyo (Princeton : Princeton University Press, 2001) updated 2d ed., original 1991; ISBN 0-691-07063-6.〕 She and a group of scholars like Feistein, argued that FIRE aggravated social inequality and polarization of these cities. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「FIRE economy」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
