Following its launch, Japan?s cotton spinning industry increased its output more than 20 times from 1888 to 1900, and 2.8 times more from 1900 to 1914. The value of exports exceeded that of imports in 1897, and by the early 1930s the three largest textile firms in the world were all Japanese. This spectacular growth was at the root of the so-called East Asian miracle, the nature and policy implications of which are still subjects of active debate. More than a story of successful technology adoption; the industry created important innovations of its own. The project enables an analysis behind inter-firm productivity differentials and the relative importance of incumbent advantage. The project examines the coevolution of industries, their systems of corporate governance, and labor practices. The project will inform policy decisions concerning the roles of government policies on innovation and competitive advantage. The project uses detailed, high-quality historical data on the Japanese cotton spinning industry to investigate the important driving factors for the formation and functioning of individual companies. The project digitalizes and brings together various archival records, including detailed operational and financial reports, prices and wages, hired labor, and information about key individuals (founders, major shareholders, executives, top managers and engineers) for the universe of all firms, from the time of the industry?s inception until the end of World War I. Conventional wisdom emphasizes the role of government industry promotion and its protectionist role, but the project?s early results indicate that innovation was spearheaded by private entrepreneurs. New technologies and markets developed through private initiative, as resource reallocation, was facilitated by novel organizational forms and competitive markets. Government contributed primarily through preventing entrenched monopolies and ensuring the conditions for free entry and fair competition.

在推出后，日本？从1888年到1900年，中国的棉纺工业的产量增加了20多倍，从1900年到1914年又增加了2.8倍。1897年，日本的出口额超过了进口额，到20世纪30年代初，世界上最大的三家纺织公司都是日本的。这种惊人的增长是所谓的东亚奇迹的根源，其性质和政策含义仍然是积极辩论的主题。这不仅仅是一个成功采用技术的故事;该行业创造了自己的重要创新。该项目使分析背后的企业间生产率差异和相对重要性的现任优势。该项目考察了产业的共同进化，公司治理体系和劳动实践。该项目将为有关政府政策对创新和竞争优势的作用的决策提供信息。 本课题使用日本棉纺产业的详细、高质量的历史数据，调查各个企业的形成和运转的重要驱动因素。该项目将各种档案记录数字化并汇集在一起，包括详细的运营和财务报告，价格和工资，雇佣劳动力以及有关所有公司的关键个人（创始人，主要股东，高管，高层管理人员和工程师）的信息，从行业的时间？直到第一次世界大战结束。传统观点强调政府的产业促进作用及其保护主义作用，但该项目？中国的早期成果表明，创新是由私营企业家带头的。新的组织形式和竞争性市场促进了通过私人主动性发展的新技术和市场，因为资源重新分配。 政府主要通过防止根深蒂固的垄断和确保自由进入和公平竞争的条件来作出贡献。
