Odd Markets in Japanese History

Professor Ramseyer studies the impact of Japanese law on economic growth in Japan. 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.Ramseyer, J.
