Abstract

This paper presents a historical and empirical account of the role played by government
intervention in the form of industrial policies in spurring development and growth in
developing countries in the last fifty years. Adopting the taxonomy proposed in Cimoli et
alt. (2008), it describes the set of industrial policies implemented since the end of WWII
to today in a number of developing countries. Which are the characteristics of successful
industrial policies? Are there industrial policies, among the ones that have worked in the
past, which can be also useful in the present context? Is there a fit-all recipe, or the high
degree of country heterogeneity makes impossible to identify any general effective industrial
policy? These are some of the questions this papers tries to suggest some answers.
