  摘要：We revisit the story of technology adoption and diffusion in Japan's Meiji-era cotton spinning industry, the study of which was pioneered by Gary Saxonhouse (1974). Using a novel data set and modern methodology, we argue that both the ease with which the best technology diffused and the role of slavish imitation in this process may have been overstated. We find an important role played by market competition, including asset reallocation. Our analyses provide richer insights into the complex ph...
