日本福井县在1890年至1918年期间迅速扩大了一种简单的丝绸面料--“羽织”的生产，并大量出口到欧洲和美国。最初手工编织的habutae的生产是劳动密集型的，但在引入动力织机后逐渐成为资本密集型。从1918年起，这种织物的生产和出口急剧下降。在本文中，我们将日本烟株式会社生产和出口的兴衰归因于其比较优势的变化，这与美国发起的从使用劳动力到使用资本的生产技术的转变有关。
The production ofhabutae, a simple silk fabric, expanded rapidly between 1890 and 1918 in Japan's Fukui Prefecture, with large exports to Europe and the United States. The production ofhabutae, initially woven by hand, was labour intensive, but it gradually became capital‐intensive after the introduction of power looms. Production and export of this fabric declined precipitously from 1918. In this paper, we attribute the rise and then fall of Japan's production and export ofhabutaeto its changing comparative advantage, which is associated with shifts from labour‐using to capital‐using production technology initiated in the United States.
