Characteristics of Agriculture in Japanese Regions and Convergence: an Empirical Analysis Using Panel Unit Root Test*
Kobe University Economic Review 59 (2013) 25 CHARACTERISTICS OF AGRICULTURE IN JAPANESE REGIONS AND CONVERGENCE: AN EMPIRICAL ANALYSIS USING PANEL UNIT ROOT TEST* By TOMOKO KINUGASA† and YUKIO FUKUMOTO‡ This research investigates whether several characteristics of agriculture in Japanese regions were con- verging empirically. Four kinds of panel unit root tests imply that agricultural income per farm tended to converge among Japanese prefectures from 1965 to 1995. However, other characteristics of agriculture did not necessarily converge. The dependent ratio of agriculture in Hokkaido is so large that it would be dif- ficult for other prefectures to match its level. We could not find strong evidence that agricultural research stock per farm was converging. Therefore, it is possible that agriculture had not been operating in a similar way throughout Japan. 1. Introduction Japanese agriculture is facing a critical situation. The food self-sufficiency ratio has de- creased year by year, and many farms abandoned agricultural pursuits or devoted more effort to businesses other than agriculture. Japan is a small country, and the limited amount of arable land is a serious problem. In such a situation, Japanese farms with relatively high productiv- ity have expanded their agricultural land by absorbing smaller farm holdings in an attempt to strengthen their international competitiveness. The purpose of this research is to investigate the convergence of characteristics of agricul- ture in Japanese regions by using the panel unit root test. The basic tenets of convergence the- ory are that an economy with low productivity tends to grow faster than one with higher pro- ductivity, and that a poor economy tends to catch up with a rich economy over the long run. -

The External and Domestic Environment Affecting Japan’s Development Cooperation 3. Policy and Institutional Reforms of Japan’s ODA in the 1990s through the First Decade of the 2000s 4. Toward a New Era of Development Cooperation: The Role of Japan in Supporting Country-Specific Growth Strategies, Based on the East Asian Perspectives 5. Conclusion 1. Introduction Japan’s development cooperation stands at a crossroads in the face of dramatic changes in both external and domestic environment in recent decades. Now, the international community is actively debating the future development framework after 2015 (the so-called post-Millennium Development Goals [MDGs] agenda). The new era of development cooperation will be characterized by broader and deeper partnerships involving emerging economies and the business sector. Japan should make unique 64 한국국제협력단 Ⅰ 개 contributions to the new era by bringing the East Asian perspectives together with 발 협 these actors and in a way that reflects Japan’s dual experiences as latecomer and 력 donor. 이 슈 There are several reasons for my argument. First, over the past two and half decades, Japan has made strenuous efforts to build the Official Development Assistance (ODA) institutional framework―initially to make the ODA system commensurate with leading donor (in the 1990s) and later to improve the operational efficiency and transparency of ODA under fiscal stringency (in the first decade of the 2000s). Notable examples are the formulation of ODA Charters (1992; 2003) and related policy framework, as well as the establishment of the new Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) in 2008 as a single aid agency providing technical cooperation, grant aid and ODA loans in an integrated manner. -
Component 2, Part 1 Centripetal Forces in Japan: the Physical Setting the Japanese Archipelago Consists of Four Major Islands and Numerous Smaller Islands
Component 2, Part 1 Centripetal Forces in Japan: The Physical Setting The Japanese archipelago consists of four major islands and numerous smaller islands. The archipelago is separated from the Asian mainland by the Sea of Okhorsk, the Sea of Japan, and the East China Sea (Figure 1). Japan is the "Land of the Rising Sun" as depicted on the Japanese flag (Figure 2). Because this is an island nation there have historically been strong physical barriers to migration. Not only are there three seas to the west, but there is the expanse of the Pacific Ocean to the east. The strong, warm Kuroshio Ocean current travels northward along the east coast of Japan. The cold Oyashio current flows south along the coast of Asia. The Oyashio meets the Kuroshio off the east coast and fogs develop along the boundary between the currents. The cold, foggy condition known as yamase can occur from June to mid-August in northern Japan adding localized climatic barriers. Japan's Neolithic people, the Jomon Culture (ca. 10,000 BCE - ca. 300 BCE) used the marine and coastal resources (Karan, 2005). Japan extends across 24 degrees of latitude, which would be similar to going from Boston to Mexico City in North America. This expanse, plus the climatic variations and the insular and ocean current factors limiting access, accounted for some of the isolation and separate development. It was during the Yayoi Period (ca. 300 BCE - ca. 300 CE) that Mongoloid immigrants crossed the Strait of Tsushima separating Japan from the Korean Peninsula in significant numbers bringing the knowledge of rice paddy cultivation, weaving, and smelting of iron. -
