Abstract

This paper surveys the changes in economic history research in Japan. In recent decades, the internationalization of research has progressed, and the influence of economics and econometrics has increased, and related to these changes, more economic historians are working on new topics using new approaches. Japan’s economic history research was internationalized prior to World War II, but only in the sense that economic historians in Japan “imported” theoretical frameworks, concepts, and perspectives from the Western literature. In recent decades, the situation has changed. Economic historians in Japan, equipped with analytical tools from economics and econometrics, have generated new insights and “exported” them to the international academic community.
