居留地贸易对日本明治时期海外贸易的促进

由于不平等条约,明治时期的日本必须在各种不平等条约下进行海外贸易,而且在开港的同时还要允许欧美外商进入开放港口,但是欧美外商代理店制度的非效率性和日本当时的进出口体制及商业流通机构,使外商在流通过程中被排除在外,更因为居留地贸易制度反而使居留地的贸易被限制起来。从这个意义上来讲,虽然居留地贸易是在不平等条约下进行的,结果却发挥了非关税壁垒的作用,使日本国内市场在欧美资本进入时被保护起来。

Stimulative Effect of the Residence Trade on Overseas Trade of Meiji Period of Japan

Japan must trade in all sorts of unequal treaties in the Meiji period.Because of unequal treaties,traders from Europe and America could enter into the open ports.But the agency system of Europe and America was not efficient and at that time,due to the import and export system and commercial circulation organization of Japan made foreign trader to be excluded from circulation process.Together with the system for residence trade,made the trade in residence to be restricted.In that sense,although residence trade was the contents of the unequal treaties,but the result was the residence trade played the role of non-tariff barriers,and it protected the Japanese domestic market when the capital from Europe and America came in.
