Abstract: Abstract Most economists would agree that there are major lessons to be drawn for other countries from East Asia’s growth experience. But what these lessons are remains subject to considerable debate. The role of macroeconomic stability and human resources is uncontroversial. The contributions — positive or negative — made by industrial policy, and by government interventions more broadly, are hotly contested. Even there, however, there is some convergence of views on the proposition that, whatever the economic merits of industrial policy, the institutional context in which interventions were carried out in East Asia resulted in fewer by-product distortions than might otherwise have been the case.
