- 概要
- This paper studies the evolution of the labor market at the emergence of a modern industry. Using unique firm-level monthly data from the Japanese cotton spinning industry before 1900, when the industry experienced rapid growth with new entries and capacity expansions, I estimate the effect of competition on wages. I classify two distinct sources of competition: extensive margin which captures changes in the number of competitors in a local labor market, and intensive margins which captures changes in labor demand due to capacity expansions. I find both margins significantly increase wages, and the effects are larger for female wages.
