Offered in 0 more formatsReflecting on how to write on such a broad topic as the future of Asia's economy, Dowling (Singapore Management U., Singapore) settled on seven major topical issues he considered the most important for Asian economists and policy makers to focus on over the coming decades, each of which earns a chapter in this book. The first six major topics are: economic growth and technological change; regional cooperation; globalization, particularly the interface between industrial economies in North America and Europe and the developing countries of Asia; poverty and income distribution, particularly in South Asia; corruption and the ethical foundations of government; and the environmental impact of economic activities. The final chapter focuses on the giant economies of China and India and reviews agriculture, industry, foreign trade, exchange rates, special economic zone developments and polices, environmental issues, financial sector issues, labor markets, and population developments and policies. It also includes a comparison of the two countries from the perspectives of aggregate and sectoral economic growth potential, environmental impact, international trade, poverty and income distribution, financial sector performance, and savings and investment.
