Market-Stimulating Technology Policies in Developing Countries: A Framework with Examples from East Asia.

Journal article

This paper proposes an analytical framework for technology development, based upon evolutionary approaches and drawing upon Asian development strategies. The analysis rests on the concept of "market stimulating technology policies," comprising a broad array of policies to promote industrial and technological development, some market and others government determined. These policies may he functional, horizontal or vertical, and can be analyzed at three levels: national, strategic and specific. The paper suggests that strategic choices are involved at all stages that cannot be resolved entirely by recourse to free markets.
