Abstract

This paper attempts to explain why growth rates and why growth levels differ so much among the 17 economies in East Asia. The EGOIN theory, the Triple C Theory and the S Curve Theory are used in the explanation. The three hypotheses in the three cognate theories are also tested for their general validity against the growth experiences of the 17 economies. Four statistical tables and six specially prepared graphs are used to support the author's presentation.
