2 Background of the paper Development of spatial economics (Fujita 1988; Krugman 1991; Venables 1996; Fujita, Krugman and Venables 1999) and its impact on economic history research (Kim 1995, 1998; Crafts and Mulatu 2005, 2006; Roses 2003) Historical economic geography project Testuji Okazaki, Asuka Imaizumi and Kaori Ito, Impact of Natural Disaster on Industrial Agglomeration: A Case of the Great Kanto Earthquake in 1923 Yutaka Arimoto, Asuka Imaizumi, Kaori Ito and Kentaro Nakajima, An information theoretic approach to identify spatial patterns of industrial agglomerations Asuka Imaizumi, Kaori Ito, Tomohiro Machikita and Tetsuji Okazaki, The determinants of size distribution of plants in the early stage of agglomeration and industrial development: Japan, Yutaka Arimoto, Kentaro Nakajima and Tetsuji Okazaki Agglomeration or selection?: The case of the Japanese silk reeling industry,
3 Historical sources of spatial data on Japan Location data of each factory Kojo Tsuran (Directory of Factories) 1902 (issued in 1904) 1919 (issued in 1921) 1935 (issued in 1937) Zenkoku Seishi Kojo Chosa (Census of Silk Reeling Factories) various issues from Historical administrative boundary Historical Administrative Boundary web GIS database (by Murayama Lab.

6 Motivation of the paper and related literature Mechanisms determining geographical distribution of economic activities New Economic Geography (NEG) First nature of a region is not the necessary and sufficient condition Possibility of multiple equilibria Empirical studies on multiple equilibria Natural experiment using a temporary shock Davis and Weinstein (2002), Brakman, Garresten and Schramm (2004), Miguel and Roland (2006) Natural experiment using a persistent shock Redding and Strum(2005), Redding, Strum and Wolf (2007), Nakajima(2007) 6
7 Strategy of the research Focusing on a temporary shock by the Great Kanto Earthquake which hit Tokyo in 1923 Expanding the scope of empirical analysis Geographical distribution of industrial activities in a relatively small area (Tokyo prefecture) Similarity of first nature Identifying the role of externality and scale economy (NEG factors) Industry-level analysis Revealing the difference in relative importance of the first nature and the second nature by industry Temporary shock by a natural disaster Pure exogeneity 7

34 Concluding remarks The Great Kanto Earthquake of 1923 gave a serious shock to the Japanese economy, 16.9 times larger than Kobe Earthquake of 1995, in terms of the ratio of damage to GNP Investigating the mechanisms determining the geographic distribution of industries, using that event as a natural experiment Testing the persistence of the influence of the shock on the distribution of workers For the manufacturing industry as a whole, the influence of the shock was not persistent, but it was basically due to the policy intervention Power of spontaneous recovery would not be large Suggesting multiple equilibria Persistence differed across industries Influence was particularly persistent for machinery and metal industry That industry was composed of numerous small and medium-sized firms Inter-linkage of many firms might be a source of the multiple equilibria 34
