Manufacturing has played a key role in the economic fortunes of the
East and South Asian regions. This timely book analyses patterns of
rapid catch-up and relative stagnation in the manufacturing sector
and links these to economic growth in the region. Dr Timmer
describes the manufacturing performance of five Asian countries
since the 1960s: China, India, Indonesia, South Korea and Taiwan.
Over this period Asian industrial development is placed in an
international perspective by comparison with the world productivity
leader, the USA. The author uses new empirical data to assess the
degree of structural change in the manufacturing sector and its
importance for productivity growth. He then discusses conditions
for economic growth and catch up, and reviews the role of
industrial and technology policies in the promotion of industrial
development in Asia.
