作付規模が大きいほど農業生産性が低いという「逆相関」は，発展途上経済の農業生産について観察されてきた古典的な関係であるが，近年盛んに再検討されている。本研究は，経済発展に伴う生産要素の市場発展に注目し，バングラデシュとベトナムの農家に関するミクロデータに基づき，両国における農業生産性と作付規模の関係を適切な方法で検証することによってその原因を考察し，「逆相関」が観察されるか，いつこの関係が転換するか，どの市場の変化が重要かを問う。
本研究は，発展途上経済の農業生産について観察されてきた古典的な関係である「逆相関」（作付規模が大きいほど農業生産性が低いという関係）を分析対象とし，経済発展に伴う生産要素（土地，労働，信用など）の市場発展に注目して，最新のデータと計量手法に基づき，バングラデシュとベトナムにおいて「逆相関」が観察されるか，いつこの関係が転換するか，どの市場の変化が重要かを検証することを目的としている。本年度は，２０１５年におけるバングラデシュ統合家計調査（ＢＩＨＳ）の雨季と乾季のパネルデータに基づき，米の単収を従属変数，作付面積と単位面積当り生産要素投入量（労働，農業資本，他の投入物）を説明変数とするコブ＝ダグラス型生産関数をモデルとして，経常財（肥料，種苗，燃料などを含む）の需要関数に基づくプロキシー法（レビンソン＝ペトリン法（ＬＰ法），Ａｃｋｅｒｂｅｒｇらの方法（ＡＣＦ法））を適用し，安定的な推定結果を得るための作業と調査を実施した。ＬＰ法とＡＣＦ法はパラメータに関して非線形性を伴う一般化積率法を用いるが，他の研究でも指摘されることがあるように，様々な初期値に対して安定した結果を得るには至らず，不安定な推定結果やシミュレーション結果を調査するのに時間を費やした。また，過年度にＢＩＨＳ２０１５の季節パネルデータに基づいて実施した確率的生産フロンティア分析の論文を成果報告するため，分析の精緻化を行った。
本年度は，米の単収を従属変数，作付面積と単位面積当り生産要素投入量（労働，農業資本，他の投入物）を説明変数とするコブ＝ダグラス型生産関数を適切な手法で推定し，作付規模で分けた二つのグループについて単収，作付面積，単位面積当り投入量の平均を計算し，大規模グループと小規模グループの平均単収の差を，作付面積（規模に関する収穫の効果），労働投入，農業資本，他の可変投入物の差に分解して，各要素の大きさに基づいて不完全市場の影響を考察する予定であった。上記の生産関数の推定はパラメータに関して非線形性を伴う一般化積率法を用いるが，様々な初期値に対して安定した結果を得るには至らず，安定しない推定結果やシミュレーション分析を調査するのに時間を費やした。また，この問題点を含め，海外研究者との議論を通じて研究を推進させる予定であったが，新型コロナウイルス感染症流行の影響もあり，調整がうまくつかず，予定通りの進展が見られなかった。
来年度は海外研究者との共同研究の進展が見込めるため，当初の計画通り研究を進めるように努める。具体的には，市場発展と監視費用に注目したバングラデシュとベトナムについての逆相関関係の比較，作付規模に関する大・小グループの平均単収差の要因分解分析による不完全市場の影響の考察について，一定の結論が得られるように努力する。 -

This study explores effects of off-farm work on food supply and nutrition intake mainly using microdata on Vietnamese farm households. In examining effects of non-farm wage work and non-farm self-employed work on food supply, we conduct a comparative statics analysis of a farm household model, which includes production activities of farm and non-farm commodities, and we find importance of heterogeneous effects of different types of off-farm work. In examining effects of off-farm work on nutrition intake, we explain that an increase in wage work reduces nutrition intake of rural adults but that this negative effect can be weakened by their jobs changing over time. We also explain that short-run migration might not improve diet of rural households. In examining aggregate labor migration, we do not find discontinuity relation between migration from agriculture to non-agriculture sectors and expected wage differential for the two sectors.

This study uses the Vietnam Enterprise Survey between 2000 and 2015 to investigate impact of WTO accession (in 2007) on aggregate productivity of Vietnamese manufacturing sector. For this purpose, we examine changes in the production function, which represents relation between output and inputs (labor and capital), and changes in productivity of individual firms and the manufacturing sector before and after 2007. According to our results, the WTO accession caused changes in production structure of the manufacturing sector to raise productivity of individual firms, whereas it stagnated the aggregate productivity growth by weakening output reallocation effects, in which firms with higher productivity occupy higher output share in the sector.

Authorship：Coinvestigator(s)
The stabilizing effects of self-employing producer households over aggregate fluctuations in the OECD countries before and after the Great Recession are investigation in regard to both labor employment and output production. Main results follow. The part of fluctuations in employees absorbed in the household employment proves to be 35.77% before and 39.01% after the Great Recession. And the pattern of their reactions differs by regions. In the former planned economies and the Mediterranean countries, they are reduced mainly by emigration and immigration over the border. In the British Isles and the North-East Asia, they are absorbed by the household employment. In the American Continent and the Oceania, they are reflected in unemployment. Finally, in the Northern and the Western Europe, they are reflected in both unemployment, emigration and immigration over the border.

Regional economies in Japan are seriously stagnated. In this research project, we aim to build the academic base of regional economic policies necessary for recovery of the competitiveness of the regional economy. In particular, in order to investigate the effectiveness of small and medium-sized business support measures of local governments, we conducted a survey of small and medium enterprises in Aichi Prefecture. Using this survey, we were able to publish a book titled, Regional Collaboration and Competitiveness of Small and Medium-sized Enterprises, Chuokeizaisha 2014. In addition, with respect to the nature of assistance to small and medium-sized enterprises provided by regional financial institutions, we sent a questionnaire to the branch managers of regional financial institutions across the country. According to the results of this survey, regional financial institutions do not change the mechanism of the evaluation of their employees in response to the new environment.

As China experienced a high-growth and became the second largest economy in the world, the continually increasing income gap caused some social and political problems such as frequent demonstrations of citizens and riots of ethnic minority residents, which led the society into an unstable state. In addition, high growth that has been supported by cheap labor has begun to slowdown and surface problems of the labor shortage and the rapid wage rise. These problems began to have a major impact on international economy, in particular, the Japanese economy. All the above issues are related to the Lewis turning point and the income Kuznets turning point related to income distribution, and are regarded as a typical phenomenon of transition economy. This project will examine the Lewisian turning point and the Kuznets turning point based on panel surveys and micro data of China and other countries, and analyze their significance and impact on the Chinese economy as well as the world economy.

This study investigates reasons why Chinese farm households do not allocate more time of their members to non-farm wage employment to improve their income. For this purpose, it proposes new empirical methods to study their labor supply behavior. It finds that the head of Chinese farm households had been offered a relatively low wage or his or her work hours had been constrained in the labor market to some extent. It also finds that more participation in local wage work or migration could have a tradeoff for farm productivity.

This study proposes empirical methods for the microdata analysis of agricultural household models and shows their usefulness. It finds that specification of family labor supply functions requires special attention to family composition of farm households as well as experience and productivity of their members in farming and non-farming activities. It also finds two methods for studying the market labor supply function of the head of farm households. One is a method to estimate a model which describes the household head's participation in the labor market and a potential upper constraint on work hours set by his employer. The other is a method to conduct an empirical analysis (including a comparative statics analysis) of a model which describes interactions between the household head's incentive for market work and farm profitability.

Using data on both developed and developing countries(USA, Germany, China, South Korea, Thailand, India, and Indonesia), this project makes an international comparison of income inequality and reveals actual situations and characteristics of income inequality in these countries. The project also studies reasons for housing inequality and low incomes in rural areas to support results of the analysis of popular inequality indexes. Furthermore, it uses results of the analysis in proposing policies to improve income inequality and policies to coordinate international society.

This project studies the issue of income inequality in China with the case of Shenzhen, the most successful and developed city in China.
The study is based on the first hand survey data, Shenzhen Household Survey 2005, conducted in March 2006 in Shenzhen city, China. It contains income related data of 1065 households and 3252 persons, reflecting the data of 2005.
This study estimates income gap using a new data set of household survey conducted in Shenzhen in 2006. Our main findings are
(1) The Gini coefficient gets to 0.56 and reaches the highest level in urban cities.
(2) The Theil index shows that urban registration status (hukou)and regional preference policy are the largest policy factors enlarging income disparity between Shenzhen and non-Shenzhen household, urban household and migrant household.
(3) Regression-based decomposition analysis of income inequality shows that educational differences of working age adults can explain 38% of total income inequality.
The research concludes that income distribution in urban China is worsening and becoming a serious social and political problem. lb solve the problem, it is necessary to abolish the discrimination policies such as urban registration system, invest more in human capital and provide equal education to the poor especially the poor in rural area -
土地制約の下での稲作農業の技術変化-二段階CES生産技術にもとづく実証分析-

本研究は,二段階CES生産技術をもち,土地制約の下で利潤最大化行動をとる農家を想定し,稲作農業の技術変化を実証分析する方法の考案を目的とした。特に,この生産技術を構成する機械的技術(M技術)の進歩が,生物学的・化学的技術(BC技術)の進歩と関係をもちつつ,稲作農業の急速な成長において中核的役割を果たした状況を,理論的,数量的に説明する方法の考案を目的とした。また,実証分析における資本データの重要性から,農機具の品質変化を考慮した,より望ましい資本サービス価格・数量指数を作成することも目的とした。
当初は16年度に農機具データの収集・整理,17年度に理論,実証分析をおこなう計画であったが,分析を進めるにつれ,農機具の価格と特徴に関する適切なデータの収集,整理には予想以上に時間がかかることがわかった。このため,実際の研究は,トラクターの価格・特徴に関するデータの収集・整理と,技術変化の実証法の考案を別々におこなうにとどまった。
前者に関しては,『農機価格ガイド』(1969〜2005年)収録のトラクター価格,『農業機械カタログ集』(同期間)収録のトラクターの特徴を入手するとともに,農業機械化研究所での調査により,1970年代後半以降に販売されたトラクターの標準装備,オプションに関するより詳細な情報を入手した。その一部の整理から,将来的に品質を調整したトラクターの価格指数が作成できる可能性を確認した。
後者に関しては,(1)2段階CES生産技術を利用する分析を円滑に進めるには土地制約を関連するシャドウプライスで置き換えるのが有効であること,(2)M技術の変化は労働と資本に関する要素増大係数の変化率の集計量として表現できること,(3)労働,資本用役,経常財の競争的市場を仮定するとき,モデルの推定はM技術,集計技術,BC技術の順に3段階でパラメータを推定すればよいことがわかった。 -

昨年度は,農業・非農業労働の異質性および市場条件に関する六つの仮説の下で農家家計モデルを比較する方法を提案し,日本の稲作農家について実証分析をおこなったが,本年度は主としてその改善に時間を費やした。本研究は農家家計モデルの生産面・消費面それぞれを一般化積率法(GMM)で推定する。このため,生産面の比較においては,生産関数と経常財投入の最適条件に関する直交条件を維持仮説とし,農業労働投入の最適条件に関する直交条件を部分的に検証する方法をとることにした。他方,消費面(需要体系)の比較においては,帰無仮説の下での需要関数の数が対立仮説の下でのそれと異なる場合にも適用可能なCoxタイプのpaired nonnested testおよびmultiple nonnested testを考案した。これらの方法により,理論的にアドホックであった昨年度の方法が改善され,昨年と同じデータを使った実証分析から,農業・非農業労働は異質であり,農業労働市場は欠落しており,非農業労働市場は競争的であるという結果が確認された。(本年度予定していた国際学会での発表はSARSの影響により中止した。)
本年度予定していた構造変化分析については,データ収集により『農家の形態別にみた農家経済』の1967〜1981,1992〜1994年度分を補充した。構造変化分析は予備的分析にとどまり,以下の点がわかった。生産面については,機械的技術(M技術)と生物学的・化学的技術(BC技術)を区別する二段階生産技術を定式化し,二つの技術に特有の技術進歩の分析をおこなう方法が有効である。消費面については,農家世帯員の就業状態の変化に注目し,地方への農外企業の進出状況,世帯員間の分業関係の推移などについて調べる必要がある。このような生産面と消費面の構造変化のインパクトの評価,ならびにそれらの相互依存関係の分析により,興味深い結果が引き出せると思われる。
