During the period 1965 to 1990 East Asia was the world's fastest
growing region. Economic Development in Pacific Asia provides
illuminating, non-technical perspectives on key facets of the
region's economies. The text focuses on the eight countries which
accounted for the majority of the economic growth: Japan, Hong
Kong, Taiwan, Republic of Korea, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore and
Thailand. Empirical evidence is used to provide a revealing,
multi-dimensional statistical profile of the countries as well as
the region as a whole. Rather than present a statistical history of
each country, the text highlights the relative performance in terms
of the variables which are studied within each chapter. Akhand and
Gupta examine a range of popular topics including: the relative
role of factors accumulation versus technology change factor price
distribution and employment growth, poverty and income distribution
the Asian Crisis and corruption. In addition, the book examines
topics rarely covered in the current economics literature such as
urbanization, the gender gap and the digital divide. It provides an
accessible and wide ranging assessment of the existing evidence and
current arguments on East Asian economic development, and is a
valuable addition to economists, policy makers and those interested
in Asian economic affairs.
