| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The East Asian countries (except Japan) achieved the V-shaped recovery through efforts to liberalize trade and investment, improve the technological capacity, and to make the labor market more flexible. These reforms never progressed through the automatic corrective mechanism of the market but were realized through political coordination of interests among big enterprises, SMEs, farmers, workers, and socially vulnerable people. The content and effectiveness of the reforms vary reflecting different political institutions and different state-society relations in these countries. However, they are converging in the point that political coordination of interests is increasingly difficult due to the trade-off relations existing between trade liberalization (and/or the labor market reform) and the enhancement of social welfare programs and between the short-term increase of returns for individual enterprises and the long-term improvement of the national capacity for technological innovation.
