The main goal of this course is to understand the fundamental characteristics of East Asian economies, their remarkable long-term growth performance as well as the recent financial crisis. We study education, equity, and export-drive industrial policy as engines of growth. We also investigate if the financial sector is actually a foible point of those countries.
