The Japanese Economy in Retrospect
Gary R Saxonhouse was one of the leading world scholars on Japanese economy. Born in New York City in 1943, he attended Yale University, where he received his PhD in Economics in 1971. He joined the Faculty of Economics at the University of Michigan beginning in 1970, where he taught throughout his career. The selection of his published papers that comprises this two-volume publication is a testimony and tribute to his remarkable accomplishments …
Services in the Japanese economy
National Leadership and Competing Technological Paradigms
Using the records of British firms that supplied nearly 90 percent of world trade in cotton spinning machinery, we track the evolution and diffusion of spinning technology over more than 50 years. In contrast to scenarios in which modern technologies supplant older methods, we observe two paradigms in competitive coexistence, each one supporting ongoing productivity growth through complementary improvements in machinery, organization, and workfor…
Finance, Governance, and Competitiveness in Japan
For much of the past half-century, Japan's economic success has stimulated the interest of scholars from around the world. In the last decade, and particularly in the last two years, however, it is Japan's economic difficulties which have attracted the most attention. The very institutions whose efficacy was earlier praised are now often criticised as being the core of Japan's economic problems. This volume brings together the research of many of…
Technological and information transfer
The returns to the rapid acceleration in the growth of gross global product per capita in the past century and a quarter have been very inequitably distributed across nations. Nations that were already relatively wealthy in 1870 have received most of the benefits of this increase in material well‐being. Japan is thus far the only major example of a country that has been able to fully traverse the vast gulf that separates poorer from wealthier nat…

What Does Japanese Trade Structure Tell Us About Japanese Trade Policy
Some argue foreign access to Japanese markets remains tightly controlled and that if Japan is to be a member in good standing of the international economic system, Japan must do more than just adhere to the formal rules of the GATT; Japan must show by the results of its international economic transactions that foreign access to its market is not tightly controlled. As this point of view is increasingly dominating American economic diplomacy with …

Comparative Technology Choice in Development
Stubborn Mules and Vertical Integration
Biotechnology in Japan
There is a widespread feeling that the Japanese government is unfairly acquiring for its economy the few really good tickets to prosperity in the twenty-first century. Foreign reactions to Japanese targeting have ranged from concern that such practices are unfair and inconsistent with the international economic system and that Japan should be forced to eliminate them, to intense admiration and a hope the other countries can somehow emulate Japan.…
New Evidence on the Stubborn English Mule and the Cotton Industry, 1878-1920
W ~hy was the English cotton industry so much slower than the rest of the world to make the switch from mules to ring-frame spinning? This paper presents new evidence on this hardy historical question by drawing on the records of six textile machinery companies. These records are now available at the Lancashire Record Office in Preston. The new figures show that Lancashire's commitment to mule-spinning prior to World War I was indeed overwhelming…
What is All This about ‘Industrial Targeting’ in Japan
Industrial Restructuring in Japan
The supply of quality workers and the demand for quality in jobs in Japan's early industrialization
Regressions from Samples Having Different Characteristics
Economists are sometimes interested in explaining variation in parameters estimated from samples having different characteristics. In this REVIEW Russell (1967) has explained Houthakker's (1957) country income elasticity of demand estimates by regressing these estimates on such country characteristics as consumption per capita and relative prices. Similarly, Wachter (1970) demonstrates that high wage, noncompetitive industries (by contrast with l…
Economics of Postwar Fertility in Japan
A Tale of Japanese Technological Diffusion in the Meiji Period
Fifteen or so years ago and for many decades before that, popularly speaking, it was not uncommon to think of the Japanese as slavish imitators of foreign technology. As research workers in economic history, we recognize that slavish imitation of foreign technology is no easy matter. Foreign technical practice is hardly uniform. Choice among a number of competing technologies is hardly child's play. Young Japanese students of a century ago were e…
