Historical study on institutions of markets and organizations of production in modern economic development.

本项目旨在从实证和理论两方面阐明支持市场经济的现代或“非个人”贸易治理是如何形成的，以及企业组织和生产组织是如何随着市场扩张而发展的。项目负责人和合作成员各自取得了进展，每月在大阪大学经济研究生院举行的“机构和组织经济学研讨会”上见面，分享各自的进展。鉴于持续的努力，在2009年，也就是这个项目的最后一年，首先，我们在8月举行了机构和组织经济学东京会议，在JSPS作为国际会议的额外财政支持下。其次，也是在8月，我们在荷兰乌得勒支大学举行的第15届世界经济史大会上组织了“会议j7 -国家、制度和发展：不同市场中贸易的标准化和执行”。三是在1978年社会经济历史学会年会举办“制度、组织与市场：市场差异套利与组织差异创造”专题讨论。“东京会议”集中讨论了这一项目的成果，主要集中在理论方面。在每三年举办一次的世界最大的经济史学术会议——世界经济史大会上，该项目的经济史学家在该项目的专门会议上提供了该项目的研究成果，并与该领域的前沿研究人员进行了交流。在社会经济历史学会会议上，年轻的成员们展示了他们在这个项目中独特的作品。在所有这些机会中，我们基于理论和实证工作，努力创造关于支持市场机制及其与企业组织和生产组织相互作用的交易治理的新见解。

This project has pursued to clarify both empirically and theoretically how modern, or "impersonal," governance of trades that supports market economy has been formed and how firm organization and production organization has developed along with the market expansion. The project leader and the cooperative members have progressed their own portions, and met at monthly "Workshop on Economics of Institutions and Organizations" at Graduate School of Economics, Osaka University, to share each progress. Given that continued effort, in 2009, the last year of this project, first, we held the Tokyo Conference on Economics of Institutions and Organizations in August, with additional financial support by JSPS as an international meeting. Second, also in August, we organized the "Session J7-States, institutions, and development : Standardization and enforcement of trades in diverse markets," in the 15^<th> World Economic History Congress at University of Utrecht, the Netherlands. Third, we held a panel titled "Institutions, organizations, and market : arbitrage of difference in the market and creation of difference in the organization" in the 78^<th> annual meeting of Socio-Economic History Society. The "Tokyo Conference" intensively discussed the achievement of this project with concentrating on theoretical aspects. In the World Economic History Congress, the biggest academic meeting of economic history in the world held every 3 years, economic historians of this project provided their works from this project at a session exclusively for this project and exchanged with forefront researchers in the field. In the socio-economic history society meeting, younger members presented their unique works from the project. At all of these opportunities, we have made effort to create new insight about governance of trades that supports market mechanism and its interaction with firm organization and production organization, based both on theoretical and empirical works.
