“Models of and Models for Firms and Industries in Fast Growing Economies”
Masao Nakamura.
This paper looks at the circumstances of rapid growth in firm and industry organization in the United States and Japan. In both countries, circumstances were highly specific to particular times and places – highly specific to institutional and technical context - making it difficult not only to create models of what happened but also to build models for emulation and imitation in rapidly growing economies elsewhere.
