Abstract
Factor Prices, Factor Productivities and Technology in American, European and Japanese Agricultures from 1880 to 1965
The relative abundance of land and the scarcity of labor induced American agriculture to become a leader in labor-saving mechanical technologies. Similar developments occurred in England. Before World War I land prices increased in Japan more rapidly than agricultural wages. In Germany wages paralleled rising land prices.
