3 1. The age of cottage industry ( ) Modest growth rate of output, but some technical change (Odaka 1996) - Steady increase in cotton processing between ca 1800 and 1850 (stagnation between 1850 and 1875) - Steady increase of iron production between ca 1800 and 1830; technological shift in the mid-19 th century from old (nanban ) to modern European technology Political and economic fragmentation ; conducive to the development of cottage industry during the Tokugawa period, particularly in the late 18 th and early 19 th century (estimates for 1804 and 1846) - Cottage industry in all regions ; but no more that 5% of GDP in most regions - Concentration in the Edo (Tokyo) and Osaka areas (around 15% of GDP) - Some degree of regional specialization (based on data for 1874) After the opening to international trade (1858), - winners: port-cities (Yokohama and Kobe) and silk processing areas (Kanto and Tosan) - losers: rural cotton processing areas of western Japan 3

7 2. The gradual shift to manufacturing ( ) In most prefectures (exception of the most urbanised) -Labour input shares increasing much faster in the secondary sector than in the tertiary sector in Meiji I ( ): labour intensive industrialisation -But labour input shares increasing slower in the secondary sector than in the tertiary sector in Meiji II ( ): gradual shift toward a more physical and human capital intensive industrialisation Regional migrations: probably limited in Meiji I Increasing in Meiji II: enhanced by the development of the railway network, particularly local lines (Saito 1998). 7

10 Regional productivity gaps and concentration Small regional gaps in labour productivity in the secondary sector ca 1874 Secondary sector: - gap increasing in Meiji I ( ): modern manufacturing techniques with high labour productivity only in a few prefectures - but stable in Meiji II ( ): diffusion of best practices (e.g. silk reeling) and imported technologies (e.g. British cotton spinning technology) Share of manufacturing increasing rapidly after 1890, -In Osaka and Tokyo -in a number of new industrial districts (e.g. mechanical industry and/or shipbuilding in Aichi and Fukuoka) -in silk reeling district of eastern Japan (in particular in Nagano and Yamanashi prefectures) 10
11 3. The emergence of an industrial power ( ) Quantitative investigation of regional gaps in labour productivity during the Japanese manufacturing catch-up based on recent estimates (Fukao et al. 2015) : - value added for 9 manufacturing subsectors: food, textile, wood, printing, chemicals, ceramics, metals, machinery, and misc. manuf. (available for 1874, 1890, 1909, 1925, 1935, 1940 at the prefecture level). - labour force (adjusted for by-employment) in these 9 subsectors (prefecture levelfor 1909, 1925, 1935, and 1940) Methodology: 1) Calculation of regional gap in productivity: technology frontier vs. rest of the country 2) Calculation of indicators of changes in prefectural ranking (correlation matrices; Spearman's rho and Person s index) 11
12 Labour productivity in the frontier (yf) and in other regions (yb), and ratio yf/yb (frontier: top 5 prefectures; yf and yb as indices, 1 for yb in 1909) Manufacturing Labour productivity of the frontier (yf) Labour productivity of other regions (yb) Productivity gap (yf/yb) Figure 6: changes in regional labour productivity gaps 12

14 Changes in the technological frontier Listof bottom 10 and top 10 relatively stable, butinstability in ranking. Top 5 ( frontier ) also instable; e.g. manufacturing as a whole: 1909: 1 Tokyo, 2 Osaka, 3 Hyogo (Kobe), 4 Hokkaido, 5 Aichi (Nagoya) 1925: 1 Osaka, 2 Tokyo, 3 Hyogo, 4 Kanagawa (Yokohama), 5 Hokkaido 1935: 1 Kanagawa, 2 Fukuoka (north Kyushu), 3 Osaka, 4 Tokyo, 5 Yamaguchi 1940: 1 Fukuoka, 2 Yamaguchi (west Honshu), 3 Kanagawa, 4 Hyogo, 5 Tokyo Rapid relative decline of Kyoto prefecture, former core area of Japanese proto-industry (high-quality tea, traditional handicraft, and textile products): rank 7 in 1909, rank 9 in 1925, rank 16 in 1935, rank 18 in

High speed growth and its aftermath Rapid regional convergence occurred from the 1950s to the 1970s Figure 2.1 Long-term trends in the coefficient of variation of per capita GPP (in local and national prices) CV unweighted (local prices) CV weighted (local prices) CV weighted (data, national prices) CV weighted (interpolation, national prices)
17 Japan continued to have a large productivity gap across sectors. Rapid industrialization in rural Japan in the high-growth era must have contributed to the regional convergence.

29 Labor productivity differences between the top and bottom 20 % declined, because (1) Industrial structures in the top and bottom prefectures became similar. (2) In contrast, within-industry differences in labor productivity across prefectures declined only marginally. (3) The decomposition of within-industry differences reveals opposite/offsetting movements of TFP and capital-labor ratio. 29
