Thesis (Ph.D.)--University of California, Los Angeles, 1990.

This study examines how export-oriented trade and exchange rate policies led to economic growth in one of the East Asian newly industrialized countries--Taiwan. The first part of this analysis presents a historical review of the change in trade and exchange rate policies and the corresponding shifts in economic structure during the postwar period. The trade regime change mainly refers to the change from import-substitution policies to export-promotion ones in the early 1960s. Special emphasis is placed on the questions of how resources were reallocated and how average production scale changed as a result of the implementation of the new export-oriented policies.Subjects--Topical Terms:

520 $a This study examines how export-oriented trade and exchange rate policies led to economic growth in one of the East Asian newly industrialized countries--Taiwan. The first part of this analysis presents a historical review of the change in trade and exchange rate policies and the corresponding shifts in economic structure during the postwar period. The trade regime change mainly refers to the change from import-substitution policies to export-promotion ones in the early 1960s. Special emphasis is placed on the questions of how resources were reallocated and how average production scale changed as a result of the implementation of the new export-oriented policies.
520 $a The second part of this analysis focuses on the question of whether export activity can stimulate continual productivity improvement. Micro data at firm level and aggregate data at industry level are collected for productivity analysis. It is found that export activity has a significant bearing on productivity improvement at both firm and industry levels. In particular, high-export industries generally exhibit more rapid growth of total factor productivity (TFP), and a high export level in the initial period is frequently associated with high TFP growth in the future. Other details contained in the data source facilitate an investigation of many interesting questions, such as the diffusion of technology from export-oriented firms to non-export-oriented ones and the productivity performance of foreign and state-owned firms in Taiwan's economy.
520 $a The evidence provided in this study lends strong support to the hypothesis that significant productivity improvement can be realized from trading in world markets. In other words, it is openness rather than the increased share of export in GNP that should be regarded as containing the key to economic success in an export-oriented regime. It then follows that despite slower growth of world trade resulting from protectionism or a slowdown of economic activity, the growth potential of developing countries which pursue relatively open trade regimes will still be larger than that of those which stick to closed trade regimes.
