Globalization, Immigration, and Lewisian Elastic Labor in Pre–World War II Southeast Asia
研究了1880至1939年间缅甸、马来亚和泰国接收印度和中国移民的情况，验证了刘易斯无限劳动力供给假说，并发现移民形成了从南印度到中国东南部的高度一体化劳动力市场。
Between 1880 and 1939 Burma, Malaya, and Thailand received inflows of migrants from India and China comparable in size to European immigration in the New World. This article examines the forces that lay behind migration to Southeast Asia and asks if experience there bears out Lewis's unlimited labor supply hypothesis. We find that it does and, furthermore, that immigration created a highly integrated labor market stretching from South India to Southeastern China. Emigration from India and China and elastic labor supply are identified as important components of Asian globalization before the Second World War.
