The Economics of the Latecomers: Catching-up, technology transfer and institutions in Germany, Japan and South Korea (Rouledge Studies in the Growth Economies of Asia) - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

This book examines the spectacularly successful economies of East Asia, Japan and South Korea. The comparison of the 'catching-up' process in Japan and South Korea includes studies of the iron and steel and semi-conductor industries. The author shows the difficulties involved in trying to detect general patterns of development, as both countries appear to respond to different technological imperatives. As a result general models of development should be treated with caution, given the need to consider different historical and institutional contexts.
