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. Their contributions fueled a thought-provoking and enriching debate about the framework and are presented in this book. In addition, I would like to thank my many friends and colleagues who provided thoughtful inputs and suggestions on various aspects of the work presented here and throughout the research process.

Measured by today’s living standards, all countries in the world were poor at the beginning of the 18th century. Their economies were pre- dominately based on agriculture. Growth of gross domestic product (GDP) per capita had lingered at around 0.05 percent a year for millennia. Only after the onset of the Industrial Revolution did per capita income growth in the now advanced countries accelerate, jumping to around 1 percent a year in the 19th century and doubling to about 2 percent in the 20th cen- tury. This was an unimaginable change. While it took about 1,400 years for world income to double before the 18th century, the same process took only about 70 years in the 19th century and only 35 years in the 20th cen- tury for the now advanced countries (Maddison 1995).

  • The Political Economy of Industrial Policy: Structural Interdependencies, Policy Alignment and Conflict Management
    The Political Economy of Industrial Policy: Structural Interdependencies, Policy Alignment and Conflict Management Antonio Andreoni* and Ha-Joon Chang** *Department of Economics, SOAS University of London and South African Research Chair in Industrial Development, University of Johannesburg *Faculty of Economics and Centre of Development Studies, University of Cambridge Forthcoming in Structural Change and Economic Dynamics for the Special Issue: Frontiers of Industrial Policy: Structures, Institutions and Policies (eds. Andreoni, A., Chang, H.-J. and R. Scazzieri) Abstract Industrial policy is back in the mainstream debates. The paper provides a long-term analytical perspective of the industrial policy debate, and it critically assesses the current mainstream phase of the debate in light of three fundamental theoretical insights that developed along several decades of industrial policy theory and practice. These are related to the (i) structural interdependencies, tensions and dualism arising in the industrialisation process; (ii) variety and types of institutions for industrialisation and the importance of policy alignment; (iii) conflict management role of the government, alongside his entrepreneurial function, and the importance of government organisational capabilities. Building on this theoretical analysis, the last section of the paper provides a framework for the strategic coordination of packages of interactive industrial policy measures. The Policy Package Matrix is introduced as an operationalisation of the framework and a tool

  • The Evolution of Education and Training Strategies in Singapore, Taiwan and S
    Journal of Education and Work, Vol. 15, No. 1, 2002 The Evolution of Education and Training Strategies in Singapore, Taiwan and S. Korea: a development model of skill formation D. ASHTON, F. GREEN, J. SUNG & D. JAMES Centre for Labour Market Studies, University of Leicester, 7–9 Salisbury Road, Leicester LE 1 7QR ABSTRACT This paper challenges the conventional explanation of the role of the state in skill formation in the high performing Asian economies as advocated by World Bank economists. It does this through an examination of the institutions which supported bene cial strategic state intervention in the process of skill formation in Singapore, Taiwan and S. Korea. These enabled governments to produce a pace of skill formation so high that it achieved within the space of one generation something that took the advanced industrial countries three generations to achieve. Our research has identi ed a set of government strategies and associated institutional structures in the eld of education and training in these economies which, it is argued, played a crucial role in ensuring that economic growth could proceed without employers experiencing severe skill shortages. We put forward a model of the skill formation process which is dynamic in character, focussing on the relationship between the state and the rapidly changing demand for skills during the process of industrialisation. This model allows us to examine some of the processes which are currently sustaining as well as threatening existing forms of intervention in the area of skill formation, including those related to the nancial crisis of the late 1990s. Introduction In her contribution to the debate which followed the publication of the World Bank report on the ‘East Asian Miracle’ (World Bank, 1993), Alice Amsden proposed that it was time to identify, with more precision, the institutions which supported bene cial strategic state interventions in the economy (Amsden, 1994).

  • Raise the Minimum Wage He Minimum Wage Has Been an Important Part of Our Tnation’S Economy for 68 Years
    Hundreds of Economists Say: Raise the Minimum Wage he minimum wage has been an important part of our Tnation’s economy for 68 years. It is based on the principle Hard work of valuing work by establishing an hourly wage floor beneath which employers cannot pay their workers. In so doing, the minimum wage helps to equalize the imbalance in bargaining deserves power that low-wage workers face in the labor market. The minimum wage is also an important tool in fighting poverty. fair pay The value of the 1997 increase in the federal minimum wage has been fully eroded. The real value of today’s federal minimum wage is less than it has been since 1951. Moreover, the ratio of the minimum wage to the average hourly wage of non-supervisory workers is 31%, its lowest level since World War II. This decline is causing hardship for low-wage workers and their families. We believe that a modest increase in the minimum wage would improve the well-being of low-wage workers and would not have the adverse effects that critics have claimed. In particular, we share the view the Council of Economic Advisors expressed in the 1999 Economic Report of the President that "the weight of the evidence suggests that modest increases in the minimum wage have had very little or no effect on employment." While controversy about the precise employment effects of the minimum wage continues, research has shown that most of the beneficiaries are adults, most are female, and the vast majority are members of low-income working families.

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.
