Industry policy with Chinese characteristics: A multi-layered model
Though China has characteristics of a developmental state like those of East Asia, there are evident differences due to China’s scale. Unlike the East Asian model, in which the central government takes charge of industrial policy directly, the Chinese central government formulates the policy and the local governments implement it. Thus, a multi-layered and complex policy structure has been the norm, and considered one of the Chinese characteristi…
Inductive method and development perspective: Alice Amsden on Taiwan and beyond
This article explores how Alice Amsden developed her theories and evaluates her contributions, using the case of her work on Taiwan, where she began her quest for understanding late development. In Taiwan, she first studied its machine tool industry and gradually broadened her scope, including a collaborative work with the author on Taiwan’s upgrading into high-tech. Contrary to the prevalent static deductive method, Amsden used an inductive appr…
Special issue on economic development and industrial upgrading: East Asia and China
This Journal of the Asia Pacific Economy (JAPE) special issue brings together keynote speeches and a few selected papers from a conference entitled ‘Economic Development and Industrial Upgrading: E
Latecomer upgrading in Taiwan
Taiwan successfully upgraded its industries and entered into the high-tech industries in the last decades of the twentieth century. This essay examines how Taiwan achieved latecomer upgrading, by exploring the process by which its latecomer firms entered high-tech and modern services. It is found that the latecomer firms, called second movers here, entered high tech when the product just turned mature, and relied upon a different set of capabilit…
Entrepreneurship and bureaucratic control: The case of the Chinese automotive industry
Whether and how will the state treat different kinds of enterprises, state-owned enterprises (SOEs) and non-SOEs, in the related industry differently? Does this concern give its industrial policy any special Chinese characteristics? This article looks at a particular aspect of the Chinese automotive industry policy, that is, regulating entries, which poses special problems for the government. It explores why the government still retains this meth…
Market socialism, Chinese style: Bringing development back into economic theory
China became an important engine of growth for the world during the recent global financial crisis, mainly because of the Chinese government's willingness and ability to stimulate aggregate demand quickly and effectively. China has been able to achieve that partly because of the legacy of central planning before the reform. The local governments implement infrastructure and other projects effectively and quickly, and the state-owned banks lend fr…
Knowledge production in a latecomer: Reproducing economics in Taiwan
It is common for academic institutions in latecomer countries to emulate the Western model. The recent wave of neo‐liberal globalization has only intensified the Western impact. This paper examines this process, in particular, of how methods of conducting academic evaluation were adapted and the implications for local knowledge production, using the field of economics in Taiwan as an example. It is shown that some kind of pseudo 'globalized' eval…
Beyond Late Development: Taiwan's Upgrading Policies
A study of how latecomers catch up in high-tech industries and modern services, based on an in-depth analysis of Taiwan's premier enterprises and government policies. In this book Alice Amsden and Wan-wen Chu cover new ground by analyzing the phenomenon of high-end catch-up. They study how leading firms from the most advanced latecomer countries like Taiwan have increased their market share in mature high-tech industries and services. The profits…
