MODERNIZATION OF JAPANESE ECONOMY: Its Rural Origin

本项目包括两个部分：(1)资料的收集，即关于19世纪末村级经济发展项目、村级所得税和经济自救项目的文献资料的收集，以及对这些文献的准确性的研究。B)基本上从城乡关系的角度分析战前日本的经济发展。2.结果a)我们设法收集了大部分资料，并对其准确性、法律和社会学背景进行了研究。佐藤的论文主要集中在这个主题上，主要是关于小须瓦里。B)我们与Choson-ze和Kosu-wari一起分析了经济发展的一些方面。斋藤将明治时代的婴儿死亡率作为经济发展的基本条件进行研究。Odaka和Kiyokawa直接侧重于经济活动，即农村地区的储蓄(Odaka)和生丝行业的技术发展(Kiyokawa)。南美分析了一些农村和城市地区的收入分配情况，得出的结论是，粗略地说，库兹涅茨夫妇的反U形在战前的日本是可以采用的。

I. The project consisted of following two parts: a) collection of source materials, namely documents on choson-ze (village-level economic developing project in the late 19th century), kosu-wari(village-level income tax) and keizai-kosei-undo(economic self revival project in the 1930's), as well as research on accuracy of them. b) analysing the economic development of pre-war Japan basically from the viewpoint of interrelationship between rural and urban areas.II. The results a) We managed to collect the most of the mateirals, and researched on their accuracy, their legal and sociological background. Satow's paper is focused on this topic mainly about kosu-wari. b) With choson-ze and kosu-wari we analysed some aspects of economic development. Saito researched on infant mortality in Meiji era as a basic condition of economic development. Odaka and Kiyokawa focused directly on economic activities, i.e. saving rete in rural areas (Odaka) and technologycal development in the raw-silk industry (Kiyokawa). Minami analysed the distribution of income in some rural and urban areas and concluded that the Kuznets' reverse U is, roughly saying, adoptable in pre-war Japan.
