Demand for Fertilizer in the Course of Japanese Agricultural Development
1964
Hayami, Yujiro
This study explores the historical dynamism of Japanese agriculture from the side of fertilizer demand. It is intended to extract lessons for today's emerging nations from Japan's experience of agricultural development. The causes of enormous increase in fertilizer input, which played a key role in raising agricultural productivity in Japan, are identified, and their contributions are measured on the basis of aggregative time‐series data for the period 1883–1937. Using an approach similar to Griliches', estimates are provided to support the hypothesis of Herdt and Mellor postulated on U.S.India comparative study.
