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