SHARE THIS PAGE
This paper analyzes the economic growth patterns of Japan, the People’s Republic of China (PRC), and the Republic of Korea. It finds a striking similarity between the growth experiences of the PRC and the Republic of Korea.
Japan and the Republic of Korea quickly graduated from middle-income to high-income status and offer valuable lessons for the PRC. This paper uses Cobb–Douglas production functions to assess the long-run equilibrium relationships between per capita gross domestic product, capital, and labor by means of cointegrated vector autoregressive models.
