New Structural Economics New New StructuralNew Economics “This splendid collection of essays, by one of the world’s outstanding experts on economic development, puts to work a newly emerging view, which he has helped to shape, of why in recent decades some countries have prospered while others have languished. Lin’s focus is on countries that were all economically Structural underdeveloped six decades ago, but his analysis offers strong hints about future prospects of the rich world as well. His style is dispassionate and unadorned by drama, which makes the essays all the more moving and illuminating.” — Sir Partha Dasgupta Frank Ramsey Professor Emeritus of Economics, University of Cambridge Economics “New Structural Economics is a truly important and ambitious book. Justin Lin, A Framework for Rethinking with some help from other distinguished scholars, has succeeded in laying out the complex structural microeconomic dynamics of economic growth, diversification Development and Policy and development, and in capturing the crucial complementary roles of government as investor, regulator, coordinator of activity and expectations, and guide. All of this is set in a global economy that is itself in the midst of massive structural change. This book will become an essential reference for scholars and for policy makers not only in developing countries, but also, increasingly, in developed countries.” — Michael Spence 2001 Nobel Prize in Economics William R. Berkley Professor in Economics and Business, New York University Leonard N. Stern School of Business “The World Bank has long been committed to the goal of achieving a world without poverty. In this brilliant volume, its Chief Economist, Justin Yifu Lin, lays out an economic agenda for how to make this dream a reality. He argues that the successes of China can be achieved elsewhere around the world, and explains clearly and forcefully the structural transformations that will be required and the role that government can and must play in that transformation. The book will be a landmark in rethinking development. It provides an alternative to the Lin Yifu Justin now discredited Washington Consensus policies that guided the Bretton Woods Institutions for years. Justin Lin’s ideas have already stirred discussion and debate. This book will ensure that they will continue to be central in the reexamination of developmental policy.” — Joseph Stiglitz 2001 Nobel Prize in Economics University Professor, Columbia University Justin Yifu Lin ISBN 978-0-8213-8955-3 90000 9780821 389553 SKU 18955 New Structural Economics New Structural Economics A Framework for Rethinking Development and Policy Justin Yifu Lin © 2012 International Bank for Reconstruction and Development / International Development Association or The World Bank 1818 H Street NW Washington DC 20433 Telephone: 202-473-1000 Internet: www.worldbank.org 1 2 3 4 15 14 13 12 This volume is a product of the staff of The World Bank with external contributions.

Amoako, Alice Amsden, Ha-Joon Chang, Anne Krueger, Wonhyuk Lim, Howard Pack, Dani Rodrik, Joseph Stiglitz, Suresh Tendulkar, and Dirk Willem te Velde for providing insight- ful and detailed comments on the NSE framework.

The first generation of development economics is structuralism, focusing on market failures in developing countries and advising their governments to adopt import-substitution strategy for developing modern advanced industries. The second generation of development economics is neoliberalism, focusing on government failures in developing countries and advising their governments to implement Washington Consensus reform with a shock therapy. Most developing countries followed the above two generations of Justin Yifu Lin is a professor at development economics and failed to achieve industrialization and modernization.

After the Second World War, many former colonies and semi-colonies in the world obtained political independence from colonial powers and started their industrialization and modernization drives with the goal of quickly catching up the developed countries. In response to the need, development economics emerged as a new sub-discipline of modern economics, aiming to advise the developing countries about how to achieve their modernization dreams.

  • Learning to Catch up in a Globalized World
    OUP CORRECTED PROOF – FINAL, 29/5/2019, SPi 8 China Learning to Catch up in a Globalized World Justin Yifu Lin and Jun Zhang 8.1 Introduction Despite a recent slowdown, over the past forty years the Chinese economy has maintained an average annual growth rate of 9.5 per cent. No country or region has ever sustained such a long period of growth at such a high rate. Its per capita GDP increased from US$156 in 1978 to about US$8,640 in 2017. China has a population of nearly 1.4 billion, suggesting that in 2017 its total GDP stood at US$12 trillion, second only to that of the United States, and China’s share of the world economy has increased from 1.8 per cent in 1978 to around 15 per cent in 2017. Over the same period China’s foreign trade has maintained an average annual growth rate of 14.5 per cent in dollar terms. Again, no country has ever been able to move so successfully and so quickly from a closed economy to an open economy. In 2010, China’s exports overtook those of Germany and it became the world’s largest exporter. More than 95 per cent of its exports were manufactured products, making China a new manufacturing powerhouse after the United Kingdom, the United States, Japan, and Germany, which had succes- sively claimed the title since the Industrial Revolution in the eighteenth century. More importantly, the technological complexity of China’s manufactured exports has also increased steadily, narrowing the gap with developed economies dramat- ically.

The founders of structuralism conceived a systemic, multidimensional and dynamic approach. They applied it to the study of improvements in, and the social distribution of, labour productivity generated in the central economies and the effects of these on the societies of the periphery. This outlook challenges the notion of markets as self-regulating systems that return to stable equilibrium positions, presenting them rather as a quantitative expression of the national or international power status of contracting parties.
