摘要： This study investigates contractual relations between farmers and sugar mills in Japanese colonial Taiwan. Our investigation is based on a model of interlinked contracts that is adapted from Gangopadhyay and Sengupta (1987). The validity of our model's predictions is verified by analysing a dataset consisting of contracts between Taiwan's cane farmers and sugar mills. Our data suggest that the contractual relationship is consistent with a scenario in which the interest rates charged by sugar mills on cash loans to farmers are set in order to prevent the diversion of funds to other uses. 其他題名： Economica 出版者： London: Blackwell Publishing Ltd 出版日期： 2012-04 出處： Economica (London), 2012-04, Vol.79 (314), p.350-377 資源來源： EBSCOhost Business Source Premier 版權： 2012 The London School of Economics and Political Science 版權： 2011 The London School of Economics and Political Science 版權： Copyright Blackwell Publishing Ltd.
