Japan is an island country, almost no resources, population density is very high, depends on agriculture to survive, Japan in ancient times began in the overseas Chinese in particular to seize resources.

Geographical characteristics of Wenzhou, a market-oriented decisions of the economy

History shows that the world economy, a country or a region's economic development are two kinds of modes: relying on resources-and market-oriented. Kaoshanchishan relying on resources-that is, on draught of water, what are the resources on the production of any products, the resources here mainly refers to natural resources, market-oriented is oriented to the market, producing what the market needs what, according to the needs of the market to create artificial advantages . China's northeast region is typical of relying on the resources-based economy, and the South of the Yangtze Delta, the Pearl River Delta region is a typical market-oriented economy. And China's Shanxi Province in history once said that "Shanxi" world-famous, after the liberation resources for development based on economic, Shanxi Coal become a pillar industry, the province's employment, financial, GDP basically dependent on coal, is also slowly lack of economic vitality, The world-famous Shanxi gradually disappeared from the scene. At the international level, the Middle East region is the oil economy, despite ample oil dollars, but their economic and social development level is very backward. Japan, represented by four little dragons of Asia's economic development is a typical market-oriented. The world economic development history also shows that the market-oriented economic efficiency than relying on resources-economic efficiency.

Resource-based economy relying on the effectiveness of market-oriented why not? » Comparative advantage is the cause of division of labor, division of labor, it will be because of professional investment and strengthened, even absolute advantage will change because of specialization. Those in the areas of natural resources endowment, in accordance with the comparative advantages of the division of the problem is that the accumulated expertise of these, just to take care of the special tastes of the market, once left the local resources, it's nothing too much to use. That is the question of specialization, and professional investment in human capital formation, only in a specific pattern of the market in an effective, leaving a specific pattern of the market will be greatly devalued. This form of specialized investment, economics, have a special name, called the "relationship specific investment." The market-oriented investments, from a social point of view, of course, is specialization, but is not a specific relationship, where are the same effective, with the value of such investments is not much to the lack of resources. Relying on resources-regional and inter-regional market-oriented, after the exchange and specialization, but it relies on a resource-region must rely on market-oriented areas, will they be able to benefit from the investment of resources, and market-oriented areas, but not the same Extent dependent on support of regional resources.
