　　Using a straightforward rational-choice approach, Professor

Ramseyerexplores the impact that law had on various markets in

Japanese historyand the effect that those markets had on economic

growth. In doing so,he applies an economic logic to markets in a

different world in a differenthistorical period with a different

political regime and a different legalsystem. He looks hardest at

those markets that have most often strucktraditional observers as

"exploitative" (e.g., the markets for indenturedservants and for

sexual services). Within those markets, he focuses on theway

participants handled informational asymmetries in the

contractingprocess.

Ramseyer finds that Japanese courts generally defined

important prop-erty rights clearly, and that Japanese markets

generally protected an indi-vidual's control over his or her own

labor. As a result, that the Japaneseeconomy grew at relatively

efficient levels follows directly from standardeconomic theory. He

also concludes that the legal system usually pro-moted mutually

advantageous deals, and that market participants(whether poor or

rich, female or male) generally mitigated informationalasymmetries

shrewdly by contract. He finds no systematic evidence ofeither sex-

or age-based exploitation.

书籍介绍

Employing a rational-choice approach, Professor Ramseyer studies the impact of Japanese law on economic growth in Japan. Toward that end, the author investigates the way law governed various markets, and the way that people negotiated contracts within those markets. Findings reveal that the legal system generally promoted mutually advantageous deals, and that people generally negotiated in ways that shrewdly promoted their private best interests. Whether in the markets for indentured servants, prostitutes, or marriage partners, this study reports little evidence of either age- or gender-related exploitation.
