“…The annual average rate of TFP growth was 0.65% and 0.27% for the years 1956-59 and 1959-64, respectively. As noted in the introduction, these results are consistent with the findings of previous studies, such as Beason and Weinstein (1996) and Kiyota and Okazaki (2005).…”

“…Because of this, several studies have investigated the effects of Japanese industrial policy (see Kiyota and Okazaki 2005). An important lesson from previous studies is that, while Japanese industrial policy may have contributed to the growth of labor productivity, it did not contribute to the growth of total factor productivity (TFP).…”

A number of studies have revealed that the effect of industrial policy on productivity growth is negative. Is this because industrial policy fails to control the activities of firms, or because it can effectively control them? This paper attempts to answer these questions, using firm-level data from the cotton spinning industry in Japan for the period 1956-64. It has been determined that industrial policy cut two ways during this period. Industrial policy effectively controlled the output of cotton spinning firms, which contributed to the establishment of a stable market structure during the period.On the flip side, such policy constrained the reallocation of resources from less productive large firms to more productive small firms. Combined with the negative productivity growth in large firms during this period, industrial policy resulted in negative industry productivity growth.JEL classification: D21 (Firm Behavior), D4 (Market Structure and Pricing), L5

The aim of this study is to examine the situations of sole proprietorship, e-commerce entrepreneurs and trends in their e-commerce. This study uses a mixed-method quantitative and qualitative approach for collecting the data. The study finds that most sole proprietorships in e-commerce are owned females between 31 and 40 years old who are educated with a Bachelor's degree (63.16%) and draw an income of 40,001-50,000 bahts per month (approximate $1 USD = 33 bahts). Most of these sole proprietorships (66.59%) are located in the central part of Thailand. These entrepreneurs spend more than eight hours a day on their businesses and supply their products by themselves. However, most of the problems faced by these sole proprietorship, e-commerce entrepreneurs involve the cost for investment in the business and the knowledge that is required in order to be an entrepreneur. Nevertheless, the trend toward sole proprietorship, e-commerce entrepreneurs in Thailand will increase with the adaptation of mobile-commerce in Thai society.
