Abstract

South Korea and Taiwan share common structural characteristics and export-led industrialization. Several studies have documented in active role of government, beyond correcting market failures. But the role of government differs. The Taiwan government has been supportive rather than interventionist, whereas the Korean government has been collaborative and even coercive in relations with the private sector. Government in both countries helped launch and sustain the export-led strategy, taking into consideration the initial conditions in industrial organization and structure, capital markets and trade. Although the strategy contributed to export development, once put in place, the respective governments have been unwilling and unable to adjust their role to changing circumstances. This rigidity accounts for the inefficiency of government in Korea in the 1970s and in Taiwan in the 1980s. Since the import substitution in the 1950s, the Korean government has intervened in the allocation of resources creating an entrenched policy bureaucracy that controls the means for plan implementation. The institutional setup provides domestic market protection, implements industrial targeting, and issues permits of entry in many industries and foreign loan guarantees.

The article looks at the differences in the economic models of East Asian countries. Hong Kong operates a currency board and the country also has a highly flexible prices and wages. Its banking system is another strength of Hong Kong, with banks having a capital adequacy ratios of 15% to 20%. Singapore's economy, on the other hand, is relatively free and open despite government intervention. The small domestic market of Singapore, however, is its weakness. The industrial policies of Taiwan are more flexible compared to South Korea. Taiwan has a large foreign exchange reserves, a current account surplus, little foreign borrowing and a healthy banking sector. South Korea, meanwhile, is dominated by chaebols, which makes it the most controlled and distorted economy.
