How economies grow: Alice Amsden and the real-world economics of late industrialisation
探讨阿姆斯登的后发工业化理论，分析工资在促进产业升级中的作用、本土企业与外资的差异，以及该理论对当前WTO规则下新兴国家的适用性。
Alice Amsden developed a theory of late industrialisation and a set of accompanying policy approaches that stand in stark contrast to mainstream growth policies that promote market liberalisation. This article explores Amsden’s arguments on the role of wages in promoting growth in countries seeking to move up the industrial ladder. The differential benefits of promoting the development of privately-owned national firms in contradistinction to the emphasis on foreign direct investment are also considered. Finally, the relevance of Amsden’s late-industrialisation model for countries on the verge of industrialisation today in the context of the World Trade Organization’s new global institutional rules is considered.
