An Emprical Investigation of Difference in and the Factors of Aqricultural Producteicity in the U.S.A and Japan

我打算在定量分析的基础上，研究1995- 1997年最后三年美国和日本农业生产力的差异及其影响因素。然而，我们发现建立两国的农业生产数据库确实需要花费大量的时间。美国农业数据库还在整理中，所以美日农业还没有进行比较分析。然而，幸运的是，日本农业数据库现在已经基本完成。利用整个日本农业的数据库，撰写了三篇论文。在这个数据库的基础上还可以写出更多的论文。此外，我一直在分析台湾的农业生产力，以及美国和日本的农业生产力。为此，我完成了1976-93年台湾水稻生产的数据库。基于这个数据库，我写了两篇论文。我打算用这个数据库再写两篇论文。此外，我计划将韩国纳入我的研究项目。我想再继续这项工作两到三年。然后，我想以日本、韩国、台湾和美国的实证分析为基础，写一本书

I intended to study for the last three years of the 1995-97 period the differences in and the factors of U.S.and Japanese agricultural productivity based on a quantitative analysis. However, it was found that constructing the databases for agricultural production for both countries definitely takes a tremendous amount of time. The database for U.S.agriculture is still under processing, so that comparative analyzes between U.S.and Japanese agriculture have not been made yet. Fortunately, however, the database for Japanese agriculture is now almost complete. Using this database for the whole Japanese agriculture, three papers were written. Several more papers can be written based on this database. In addition, I have been analyzing agricultural productivity in Taiwan also along with U.S and Japanese agricultural productivity. For this purpose, I have completed database for rice production in Taiwan for the 1976-93 period. Based on this database, I have written two papers. I plan to write two more papers using this database. Furthermore, I plan to include Korea into my research project. I would like to continue this work for another two to three years. Then, I would like to wirte up a book based on the empirical analyzes for Japan, Korea, Taiwan, and U.S.
