Book Description
This book is a sequel to our first report of ASIAN LINK PROJECT in 1985: Econometric Models of Asian LINK, Springer-Verlag, Tokyo - Berlin - New York. Now the scope is expanded to Asian-Pacific Countries in coverage, so that this monograph presents the econometric models of Japan, the United States, Canada, China, Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Thailand, the Philippines, Malaysia, Singa pore, Indonesia, Australia and the European Community. We are particularly happy to have included the excellent models of Australia and Canada whose economies are essential parts of the Asian-Pacific Economic Community. Most of those models were presented at the Workshop of Asian Link Project held in Bandung, Indonesia at the time of the Second Convention of the East Asian Eco nomic Association, 1990. Those models have been up-dated since then, and several other important models were added. Unlike our previous book, we have not tried here to link these national models as a regional or global model in any way, ex cept for the model by S. Kinoshita which offers a regional linkage for Pacific-basin economies by linking the US, Japan, Canada, the European Community coun tries as a group, Asian NIEs (Korea, Hong Kong, Taiwan), ASEAN (Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore) and East Asian economies. As we argued in our previous publication, we tried to publish these econometric models again with the statistical data as much as we could, so as to enable the reader examine the estimation and performance of the models by himself.

A Region of Regimes
Author: T. J. Pempel
Publisher: Cornell University Press
ISBN: 1501758829
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 252
Book Description
A Region of Regimes traces the relationship between politics and economics—power and prosperity—in the Asia-Pacific in the decades since the Second World War. This book complicates familiar and incomplete narratives of the "Asian economic miracle" to show radically different paths leading to high growth for many but abject failure for some. T. J. Pempel analyzes policies and data from ten East Asian countries, categorizing them into three distinct regime types, each historically contingent and the product of specific configurations of domestic institutions, socio-economic resources, and external support. Pempel identifies Japan, Korea, and Taiwan as developmental regimes, showing how each then diverged due to domestic and international forces. North Korea, Myanmar, and the Philippines (under Marcos) comprise "rapacious regimes" in this analysis, while Malaysia, Indonesia, and Thailand form "ersatz developmental regimes." Uniquely, China emerges as an evolving hybrid of all three regime types. A Region of Regimes concludes by showing how the shifting interactions of these regimes have profoundly shaped the Asia-Pacific region and the globe across the postwar era.

Econometric Models of Asian Link
Author: Shinichi Ichimura
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 4431680284
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 339
Book Description
This is the first outcome of our effort in ASIAN LINK PROJECT to construct the econometric models of Asian developing countries and analyze their inter-dependence with major trading partners, the United States and Japan. The model we present here is called Asian Link System. The countries in this system include Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong, China, the Philippines, Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, Japan and the United States. They are covered by national models. The rest of the world is divided into several regions and treated by simple proto-type models. The main characteristics of Asian Link System are to deal with the inter-dependent relations between Asian developing countries on the one hand and Japan and United States on the other hand. Here are presented these national models and the Asian Link System with the underlying statistical data, so that any econometrician can re-estimate our models and check the results of our research work. Nowadays most articles and books in econometrics report only the final results or conclusions of research so that no other econometrician can re-calculate or re examine the findings. This is very serious in the empirical research, because as theorists may make mistakes, positive economists do commit errors or miss some possible considerations. Unless statiscal data are offered, other econometricians cannot make suggestions or improve the models. This is the main reason why empirical research in econometrics or applied econometrics are not making substantial progress in recent years.

Book Description
Governments throughout the Asia-Pacific region recognize the catalyzing role of infrastructure investment for sustainable growth. Yet, they are faced with the problem of financing new infrastructure. This book provides the latest evidence on the impact of infrastructure investment on economic and social indicators. Presenting several country studies, the book explains how infrastructure investment can increase output, taxes, trade, and firm productivity. Based on this evidence, the book proposes innovative modes of infrastructure financing.

Learning from SARS
Author: Institute of Medicine
Publisher: National Academies Press
ISBN: 0309182158
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 376
Book Description
The emergence of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) in late 2002 and 2003 challenged the global public health community to confront a novel epidemic that spread rapidly from its origins in southern China until it had reached more than 25 other countries within a matter of months. In addition to the number of patients infected with the SARS virus, the disease had profound economic and political repercussions in many of the affected regions. Recent reports of isolated new SARS cases and a fear that the disease could reemerge and spread have put public health officials on high alert for any indications of possible new outbreaks. This report examines the response to SARS by public health systems in individual countries, the biology of the SARS coronavirus and related coronaviruses in animals, the economic and political fallout of the SARS epidemic, quarantine law and other public health measures that apply to combating infectious diseases, and the role of international organizations and scientific cooperation in halting the spread of SARS. The report provides an illuminating survey of findings from the epidemic, along with an assessment of what might be needed in order to contain any future outbreaks of SARS or other emerging infections.

A Resurgent East Asia

Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 325
Book Description
East Asia has been a paragon of global development success. The dramatictransformation of the region over the past half century—with a succession ofcountries having progressed from low-income to middle-income and even to high-incomestatus—has been built on what has come to be known as the “East Asiandevelopment model.” A combination of policies that fostered outward-oriented, labor-intensivegrowth while strengthening basic human capital and providing sound economicgovernance has been instrumental in moving hundreds of millions of people out ofpoverty and into economic security.Yet East Asia’s economic resurgence remains incomplete. More than 90 percent of its peoplenow live in 10 middle-income countries, many of which can realistically aspire to high-incomestatus in the next generation or two. But these countries are still much less affluent andproductive than their high-income counterparts. Even as the region’s middle-income countriesattempt to move up to high-income status, they confront a rapidly changing global andregional economic environment. Slowing growth in global trade and shifts in its patterns,rapid technological change, and evolving country circumstances all present challenges tosustaining productivity growth, fostering inclusion, and enhancing state effectiveness.A Resurgent East Asia: Navigating a Changing World is about how policy makersacross developing East Asia will need to adapt their development model to effectivelyaddress these challenges in the coming decade and sustain the region’s remarkabledevelopment performance.“The world is changing. How do East Asia’s developing economies navigate this change?This is a commendable book on this topic—a must-read for policy makers, academia,and students who are interested in East Asia.”— Chatib Basri, Former Minister of Finance, Government of Indonesia“A Resurgent East Asia is a vital publication for the most successful region as it looks tothe future and the expectations of its citizens. This study helps to identify the new areasof risk and to suggest ways to ameliorate them. In so doing, it is an invaluable resourcefor governments. Based on first-rate analysis, it is a must-read for policy makers andeveryone interested in East Asia’s development prospects!”— Danny Leipziger, Managing Director, The Growth Dialogue, and Professorof International Business, George Washington University“This report delivers a careful and rigorous analysis of the strengths of East Asia’s ‘growthwith equity’ development strategy. While noting the model’s success in lifting millions outof poverty, the report also warns of the looming challenge of maintaining growth withinclusion, and it highlights the need for countries to improve their social protection systemsand ensure that opportunities are fair and available to all. A must-read for policy makersand development practitioners alike.”— Ana Revenga, Senior Fellow, Brookings Institution
