Tall and shrinking Muslims, short and growing Europeans: The long-run welfare development of the Middle East, 1850-1980

In this study we examine anthropometric data for eight countries in the Middle East for the period 1850-1910, and we follow those countries until the 1980s. The Middle East had a relatively good position during the mid-19th century, if human stature or real wages are considered, but much less so in terms of GDP per capita. Initially low population densities allowed better anthropometric outcomes. The height advantage was due, among other factors, to easier access to animal products. All indicators suggest that the Middle East lost ground after the 1870s relative to the industrializing Countries.     

The “flying geese” model of Asian economic development: origin, theoretical extensions, and regional policy implications

This paper presents a comprehensive review of the “flying geese” (FG) model, which recently has become well known as a way of explaining rapid economic growth in East Asia. Kaname Akamatsu’s 1930s work introduced the concept. Through statistical analysis of industrial development in pre-war Japan, this author followed Akamatsu in developing a theoretical model called Kojima Model I. Subsequent works produced Kojima Models II and III.The regional transmission of FG industrialization has been noted as an engine of Asian economic growth, due in part to Saburo Okita’s forceful presentation of the theme of the FG model in a 1985 lecture. It is hoped that this paper will help to advance a better understanding of the FG model, its historical origin, its theoretical extensions, and its relevancy, as well as its incompleteness as a model of economic development.     

日本推动东亚国际循环型社会建设的理论与实践

日本致力于推动东亚国际循环型社会建设的背景是循环资源的跨国移动;目标是促进东亚国际循环型社会的形成和构建东亚国际资源循环体系;主要内容包括实现东亚地区循环资源的循环利用和处置,强化防止循环资源非法输出入的对策,形成有利于环境保护的循环资源跨国移动的机制等。日本推动东亚循环型社会建设的经验带给我们的启示是,我国有必要积极开展宏观层次上的国际循环型社会的建设,这是建立完整的循环经济体系的需要,是解决我国循环资源跨国移动问题的需要,也是发挥我国应有作用的需要。

东亚产业内贸易与东亚国际生产分工网络浅析——以机械类产品为例

本文以我国与东亚国家机械类产品（SITC7）产业内贸易为例，首先说明了SITC7在我国与东亚国家贸易中的重要地位及其产业内贸易水平，接着从FDI、零部件贸易和公司内贸易三大方面阐述了东亚产业内贸易的内在机制——东亚国际生产分工网络。同时，我国的加工贸易和“三资企业”也对产业内贸易起到了极大的促进作用。     

The North Korean economy seen by satellite: Estimates of national performance,regional gaps based on nighttime light

External estimates must be used to assess North Korea’s economy because Pyongyang authorities withhold economic statistics. The Bank of Korea’s figures are considered the most widely employed estimates. However, they have several limitations. This paper estimates North Korea’s economic growth over a more than 20-year period, by analyzing the nighttime lighting, as recorded by orbiting satellites. The data is more objective and reliable than other data used to evaluate the North Korean economy. It indicates steady growth after 2000, contradicting Bank of Korea estimates. The methodology also has the advantage of being able to gauge regional economic activity. Performance varied widely among regions, the result of internal factors such as market activities and external factors such as trade with China and economic cooperation with South Korea.     

Corporate Strategies and Performances of Korean Firms: The Unified Theory of the Firm Perspective

Abstract

A good understanding of the nature of the firm is essential in developing corporate strategies, building corporate competitiveness, and establishing sound economic policy. Several theories have emerged on the nature of the firm: the neo-classical theory of the firm, the principal agency theory, the transaction cost theory, the property rights theory, the resource-based theory and the evolutionary theory. Each of these theories identify some elements that describe the nature of the firm, but no single theory is comprehensive enough to include all elements of the nature of the firm.

Economists began to seek a theory capable of describing the nature of the firm within a single, all-encompassing, coherent framework. We propose a unified theory of the firm, which encompasses all elements of the firm. We then evaluate performances of Korean firms from the unified theory of the firm perspective. Empirical evidences are promising in support of the integrative theory of the firm.     

知识—认知共同体与东亚地区公共卫生治理——中日合作的必要与前景

突如其来的新型冠状病毒肺炎疫情给东亚地区带来很大挑战,东亚国家成为中国以外确诊病例较多的国家,这也在一定程度上反映了近年来东亚地区经济社会一体化空前深化的客观事实。东亚地区一体化源于危机,也是在“转危为机”中得到发展,东亚金融治理机制的发展就是很好的例证。与以强制执行力为基础的国家治理不同,国际治理需要在地区国家间构建以相关科学知识共识为基础的地区性知识权威以及以政治和社会舆论认知共识为基础的地区性认知权威提供保障。作者将从知识和认知的新视角出发,探讨东亚公共卫生治理机制的理论与政策问题。包括东亚地区公共卫生治理在内的功能性国际治理能够有效并且有持续性,需要两个层面的与知识相关的共同体:一个是传统国际关系理论意义上以专业科学知识为基础的专家网络知识共同体,另一个是超越上述专业知识、具有跨国合作解决功能性难题共识的更加一般性的政治和社会认知共同体。中国与日本作为世界上第二和第三大经济体,在公共卫生领域取得了突破性的成绩。作为非西方世界两个正在崛起和已经崛起的大国,中日具有知识上的巨大互补性。中日合作可以为国际公共卫生领域新的规范建构提出更多“东亚智慧”,起到政治引领作用,为东亚地区培育和强化命运共同体意识以及健全完善全球治理体系做出重大贡献。     

China, Asia, and the World Economy： The Implications of an Emerging Asian Core and Periphery

I. IntroductionThe effect of China’s rapid growth on other Asian economies is felt most directly through itsimpact on international trade and foreign investment. However, not only is the magnitude of this impact uncertain, even its direction is disputed. Some authors emphasize that China’s emergence as an economic power is applying intense competitive pressure to its neighbors. China’s immense reserves of cheap labor enable it to out-compete neighboring economies in the production of low-…     

The drachma, foreign creditors, and the international monetary system: tales of a currency during the 19th and the early 20th centuries

Fixed exchange rate regimes can be regarded as a “rule with escape clauses,” allowing the monetary authorities to temporarily suspend convertibility and enact a discretionary policy only under well-understood contingencies, such as wartime emergencies and financial panics. Seen from this perspective, adherence to the specie convertibility rule enables peripheral countries to establish credibility of the nation’s economic policy and, thus, to obtain access to the core countries’ capital markets. An example of a peripheral country is Greece during the 19th and early 20th centuries. The evidence assembled in the paper suggests that Greece tried very hard to adhere to “good housekeeping rules.”     

The Manufacture of Popular Perceptions of Scarcity: Dams and Water-Related Narratives in Gujarat, India

This paper critically examines some narratives of water scarcity in Kutch, western India. It argues that images of dwindling rainfall and increasing drought largely serve to legitimize the controversial Sardar Sarovar dam and manufacture dominant perceptions concerning scarcity. This manufacture has naturalized scarcity in the region and largely benefits powerful actors such as politicians, industrialists and large farmers. But the needs of the poor in water-limited areas are neglected. By exploring the various connotations of scarcity, the paper argues that scarcity is both a biophysical phenomenon as well as a powerful discursive construct. By distinguishing between the “real” and “manufactured” aspects of water scarcity, the paper attempts to enhance understandings of environmental change at the local level.
