- Summary:
- This volume analyzes the performance of South Korea's economic growth. The authors begin by describing the general contours of growth performance from the 1960s onwards, noting that the relative slowdown of growth in recent years is to be expected due to higher labor costs and other effects of economic maturity and convergence. They then consider sectoral aspects of growth, including the unusually rapid pace of deindustrialization and the chronic low productivity of the service sector. Exports are then addressed, followed by an examination of foreign direct investment. They also address Korea's susceptibility to crises, arguing that it is a corollary to a development strategy favoring debt over equity finance. Finally, they consider potential solutions to the problems mentioned above and others identified in the text. Distributed in the US by Harvard U. Press.
