Starting in the 1960s-earlier if Japan is included-a number of East Asian economies began achieving growth rates well above the average and were able to maintain that pace until nearly the end of the 1990s. Countries, large and small, have struggled to imitate the industrial prowess of the East Asian pacesetters and to exploit the opportunities presented by globalization to expand exports. But approximating the East Asian benchmarks has proven difficult, and growth accelerations have tended to be remarkably transient.CC BY 3.0 IGOAGGREGATE DEMANDAGRICULTUREALGORITHMSALLOCATIVE EFFICIENCYARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCEATTRIBUTESAUTOMATIONBACK UPBANDWIDTHBARRIERS TO ENTRYBASICBENCHMARKSBROADBANDBUSINESS ACTIVITYBUSINESS ASSOCIATIONSBUSINESS CLIMATEBUSINESS CLIMATESBUSINESS ENVIRONMENTBUSINESS MODELSBUSINESS PERFORMANCEBUSINESS SECTORBUSINESS SERVICESBUSINESSESCAPABILITIESCAPABILITYCAPITAL INVESTMENTCITIESCOMMODITIESCOMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGIESCOMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGYCOMMUNITIESCOMPETITIVE ENVIRONMENTCOMPETITIVE FORCESCOMPETITIVENESSCOMPONENTSCOMPUTER INDUSTRYCOMPUTER LITERACYCOMPUTERSCOMPUTINGCONNECTIVITYCONSUMERSCOPYRIGHTCOUNTRY OF ORIGINDATA PROCESSINGDEMOCRACYDEVELOPMENT ECONOMICSDIGITALDISPOSABLE INCOMEE-MAILECONOMETRICSECONOMIC ACTIVITYECONOMIC CHANGEECONOMIC DEVELOPMENTECONOMIC DIVERSITYECONOMIC GROWTHECONOMIC HISTORYECONOMIC OBJECTIVESECONOMIC PERFORMANCEECONOMIC RESEARCHECONOMIC STRUCTUREECONOMIC SURVEYSECONOMICS OF EDUCATIONECONOMISTSELECTRIC MOTORSELECTRICITYELECTRONICSELITESEMPIRICAL ANALYSISENGINEERINGENGINEERSENTREPRENEURIAL CULTUREENVIRONMENTALEXCHANGE RATEEXPLOITATIONEXPORT GROWTHEXPORTSEXTERNALITIESFOREIGN DIRECT INVESTMENTFOREIGN INVESTMENTFUNCTIONALITYGDPGDP PER CAPITAGLOBAL ECONOMYGLOBAL MARKETSGLOBALIZATIONGOVERNMENT SERVICESGROSS DOMESTIC PRODUCTGROWTH MODELSGROWTH POTENTIALGROWTH RATEGROWTH STRATEGIESGROWTH STRATEGYGROWTH THEORYHIGH TECHNOLOGYHUMAN CAPITALHUMAN RESOURCESICTINCOMEINDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENTINDUSTRIALIZATIONINFORMATION SOCIETYINFORMATION TECHNOLOGYINNOVATIONINNOVATIONSINSTITUTIONINTEGRATED CIRCUITSINTELLECTUAL PROPERTYINTERNATIONAL BUSINESSINTERNATIONAL COMPARISONINVENTIONINVENTIONSKNOWLEDGE WORKERLABOR FORCELABOR INPUTSLANLEARNINGLICENSESMACHINE INTELLIGENCEMANAGERIAL SKILLSMANUFACTURINGMARKET ECONOMYMARKETINGMATERIALMICROELECTRONICSMOBILE COMMUNICATIONSNATIONAL INCOMENATURAL MONOPOLIESNATURAL RESOURCENATURAL RESOURCESNET EXPORTSNETWORKINGNETWORKSNEW TECHNOLOGIESNEWLY INDUSTRIALIZED COUNTRIESORGANIZATIONAL CAPABILITIESORGANIZATIONAL CAPABILITYPATENTSPER CAPITA INCOMEPER CAPITA INCOMESPHOTOSPOLICY ENVIRONMENTPOLICY MAKERSPOLITICAL WILLPOPULATION GROWTHPRIVATE SECTORPROCUREMENTPRODUCTIVE ASSETSPRODUCTIVITY GROWTHPROGRAMSPUBLIC ADMINISTRATIONPUBLISHINGQUERIESR&DREGULATORY CAPTUREREGULATORY MECHANISMSRESEARCH AGENDARESOURCE ALLOCATIONRESULTRESULTSSCIENTISTSSEMICONDUCTORSSILICONSOCIAL SCIENCESSOCIAL SERVICESSTRUCTURAL CHANGESUSTAINABLE GROWTHTARGETSTAX INCENTIVESTECHNICAL COOPERATIONTECHNOLOGICAL ADVANCESTECHNOLOGICAL CAPABILITYTECHNOLOGICAL CHANGETECHNOLOGICAL INNOVATIONTECHNOLOGY TRANSFERTELECOMMUNICATIONSTELEPHONETOTAL FACTOR PRODUCTIVITYTRANSACTIONTRANSACTION COSTSTRANSLATIONUSERSUSESVALUE ADDEDVALUE CHAINVERIFICATIONWAGESWEALTHFinlandIrelandWorld Bank10.1596/978-0-8213-8846-4
