<br/><br/> A collection of original papers, the majority presented at the International Conference on Economic Growth held at the Institute of Economics, Academia Sinica, Taipei, in December 2000.  Examines the forces underlying economic growth in the East Asian newly industrialized countries of Hong Kong, South Korea, Singapore, and Taiwan. 
<br/><br/> The book focuses on the forces underlying long-lasting growth in East Asia's newly industrialized countries (NICs). Drawing from the experiences of Hong Kong, South Korea, Singapore and Taiwan, it questions whether public policy can contribute to removing barriers towards accumulation of wealth and if so, what development policy should be put in place to remedy the existing distortions or market failure problems.
