課程概述

The seminar is composed of
three main parts: the
economic (sessions 2-6),
political (sessions 7-11),
and social (sessions 12-16)
theories of national
development. It begins with
an introduction to the
course, and ends with a
conclusion on the future
developments for Taiwan,
Asia and the globe.
The central questions for
the economic part of the
course are: (1) What are the
major economic forces that
drive development? (2) How
do government policies and
economic institutions affect
the development process? (3)
Where do "good" policies and
institutions come from? Our
goal is to understand how
the development process
works and to identify policy
reforms that will make a
difference.
The political part of the
course will have two major
goals. Firstly, there will
be a critical examination of
a number of the most
important theoretical
approaches to political and
economic developments
pertinent to the comparative
analysis of the East Asian
political economy. Secondly,
the course will focus
specifically on East Asian
and Taiwan’s experiences in
development and try to draw
lessons from the East Asian
or the Taiwan model.
The focuses for the social
part of the seminar are to
examine the sociological
critics on existing
development theories and to
provide students with a view
of socio-political bases of
economic activities. Topics
covered include definitions
of development, institutions
and structural changes,
globalization and the
question of locality, global
social justice, as well as
development and social
opportunities

Course Topics and Readings (*:required)
Session 1: Introduction: An Overview
Session 2: The Historical Experience of Economic Development: After looking at
the historical record of economic development in contemporary rich countries,
we then ask the question why the Industrial Revolution did not originate in
China?
*Lin, Justin Yify. [1995], “The Needham Puzzle: Why did the Industrial
Revolution not Originate in China?” Economic Development and Cultural Change
*Pritchett, Lant. [1997], Divergence, Big Time, Journal of Economic
Perspectives 11: 3–17.
Session 3: Globalization, Inequality and the Process of Development: We examine
theoretical links between poverty, inequality and globalization. We also review
cross country evidence on trade, growth, and poverty.
*Agenor, Pierre [2000], The Economics of Adjustment and Growth, chapter 10.
*Besley, Timothy and Robin Burgess, [2003], Halving Global Poverty, Journal of
Economic Perspectives, 17: 3-22.
Session 4: Theories of Development: Review of the neoclassical and endogenous
growth models. One of the main reasons why some countries are poor is that they
lack the physical and human capital that are necessary to produce. We also look
at alternative approaches to growth that stress the role of technology,
externalities in human capital formation, financial development and trade. We
review how this has been modelled, what the evidence looks like and what
insight this gives us into the development process.
*Agenor, Pierre [2000], The Economics of Adjustment and Growth, chapters 11-13.
*Makiw, Gregory, David Romer and David Weil, [1992], A Contribution to the
Empirics of Economic Growth, Quarterly Journal of Economics, 107: 407-38.
Session 5: Institutions and Economic Performance: A new wave of research now
sees institutions as key to understanding differences between countries. We
discuss what is meant by an institution and how this may shape the pattern of
development. We look at empirical evidence for the claim that institutions are
important.
*IMF [2003], World Economic Outlook, April, chapter III “Growth and
Institutions.”
*Hall, Robert and Charles Jones, [1999], Why Do Some Countries Produce so Much
More Output per Worker than Others? Quarterly Journal of Economics, 114: 83-116.
*Acemoglu, Daron Johnson, Simon; James A. Robinson, [2001], The Colonial
Origins of Comparative Development: An Empirical Investigation, American
Economic Review; 91(5), 1369-1401.
Session 6: Governance: Much stress is now place on good government as a key
element of effective development. We discuss incentives in government. We also
discuss evidence on corruption and its effect on development. We review the
case for greater decentralization of government to improve the quality of
government.

Perspective, MIT WP.
