Microeconomic Developments in Prewar Japan: An Integration of Economic History and Development Economics
Outline
The goal of this project is to review the experiences of the Japanese economic development and to draw practical lessons for current developing countries. We utilize the theories and methods in development microeconomics to analytically understand the causes and consequences of the Japanese experience, and to form a foundation for the communication between Japanese economic history and development economics. We particularly focus on agricultural technology adoption and diffusion, crop insurance, agricultural marketing, farmland investment, and infant mortality.
