G234sSustaining Export-Oriented Development looks at the East Asian economies' postwar development and assesses the prospects and constraints to continuing at its current pace. The possibilities of transferring East Asian development elsewhere are also considered. While there is no single East Asian model, common elements are identified: an abundance of low-wage labour and free labour markets, an emphasis on health and education, trade liberalisation and export-oriented policies, financial market liberalisation (providing an environment conducive to private saving and investment), efficient capital utilisation and a focus on sound infrastructure. Written by leading economists, the book traces the changes in the thinking of policymakers and advisers about the policies required for economic development. In particular, it examines the shift in emphasis from import-substitution to outward orientation that has coincided with the East Asian economies' success.
