Abstract

This paper studies the nature of relationships between intersectoral resource mobility and intersectoral balance in early modern economic growth and, on the agricultural side in particular, the crucial role played by transmission of the best-practice technology to less developed areas. The primary focus is, first, on migration of labour as it is reflected in the shifting of the economy’s centre of gravity from agriculture to industry and, secondly, on the so-called eastward-movement of rice cultivation. The present point of departure is the ‘concurrent growth’ thesis by Kazushi Ohkawa which emphasises the development of agriculture side by side with urban sectors in the early modern growth of Japan (Ohkawa, 1964).
