Japan's Model of Economic Development: Relevant and Nonrelevant Elements for Developing Economies

Author

  • Fukunari Kimura

Abstract

Japan was the first non-western country to accomplish successful industrialization, and the dominant perception of its 'industrial policy' had over-emphasized specific characteristics of Japan. However, from the perspective of today's development thinking, Japan's economic history shared a wide range of common factors in usual economic development: macroeconomic stability, human resource development, and economic infrastructure.
