| Research Abstract |
Since the 1980s, economic analysis of institutions and organizations has substantially progressed, based on the development of game theory. At the same time, it has come to be widely accepted that the modes of coordinating economic activities are diverse and comparative study on those modes is important. This new perspective requires the conventional views on the economic history to be reexamined. In the field of economic history, whereas emergence of the factory system has been considered as one of the largest historical epoch, efficiency and inefficiency of the system compared with alternative production organizations has been rarely analyzed. In this project, we have analyzed the production organizations in Japan and China from comparative and historical perspectives. The results of the projects were presented at the panel session of the Socio Economic History Society Meeting in 2002, which Tetsuji Okazaki organized. The final results of the project will be published as a book edited by Tetsuji Okazaki from the University of Tokyo Press (History of Production Organizations, Tokyo : The University of Tokyo Press, 2005, in Japanese).
