Profile Summary 【 Display / hide

  • The market, which is based on various institutions and systems such as exchanges and legal regulations, forms prices and allocates goods and services. This study conducts a qualitative examination of historical materials pertaining to fundamental institutions and systems. Additionally, it employs quantitative analysis on high-frequency trade data to capture historical changes in the function and operating conditions of the market in the Japanese Empire during the modern period. By dynamically investigating the role of the market from a historical perspective, this study aims to acquire knowledge that can enhance our understanding of market function and contribute to its improvement.

  • Distinctive pricing in the metropole of the integrated empire's economy: Japan's central and local rice markets, 1900-1939

    Kiyotaka MAEDA

    KEO Discussion Paper (Keio Economic Observatory, Keio University)   ( 175 ) 1 - 53 2023.04

    Research paper (bulletin of university, research institution), Single Work, Corresponding author

     View Summary

    This study explores the spot and futures pricing of rice in Japan's central and local cities during the period 1900–1939 to detect how importing primary products from the colonies impacted the commodity market in the metropole. The imperial country imported colonial primary products different in quality than the domestic ones to accelerate industrialization and the export of industrial goods to the colonies. During the process of commodity market to accommodate the trade expansion of colonial goods, the futures prices in the central cities, which were hubs of colonial goods, reflected the price fluctuation of imported goods. On the other hand, the minor exchange in the local cities, which tended not to trade colonial goods, augmented its price formation function. Based on the geographical heterogeneity of colonial goods circulation, this mechanism promoted economic growth and widened economic disparity within the empire.

  • Market-based financing for small corporations during early industrialisation: The case of salt corporations in Japan, 1880s-1910s

    Research paper (scientific journal), Single Work, Corresponding author, Accepted

     View Summary

    © 2020 Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor & Francis Group. This study investigates how small corporations in rural areas of Japan obtained funding from the 1880 s through the 1910s and reassesses the role of market-based financing for Japanese small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). While most previous literature shows that Japan effectively used bank-based financing for SMEs, this study provides evidence that corporations of various sizes, including small ones in rural areas, arranged funding through the stock and bond markets during Japan’s early industrialisation period. While this type of financing arrangement helped promote early industrialisation, it also strengthened the dual economy during full-fledged industrialisation.

  • Colonial impact on Japan’s economy: Dynamics of the rice market during the interwar period

    Kiyotaka MAEDA

    KEO Discussion Paper (Keio Economic Observatory, Keio University)   ( 170 ) 1 - 33 2022.06

    Research paper (bulletin of university, research institution), Single Work, Corresponding author

     View Summary

    This study analyzes the change in the pricing of domestic and colonial rice in Japan during the interwar period. Japan was an empire that had thriving colonial trades to procure primary products. Colonial rice differed in quality from domestic rice because of climate conditions, and the government promoted homogenizing various types of rice. Consequently, colonial rice consumption expanded in Japan, and the pricing of each heterogeneous rice partially influenced the others after the mid-1930s. The forging of a closer relationship among the regions within the empire structurally transformed not only colonial economies but also the metropole's economy.
