Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Using firm- and household-level data from emerging economies such as Indonesia, Vietnam, and Ethiopia and firm-level data for a large number of firms in the world, this research examined two major questions: Why is it difficult to construct diversified social and economic networks that are likely to contribute to economic growth?; Do dense networks lead to political protectionism and further to closed networks? The results suggest that to prevent "middle-income traps," emerging economies should dissolve closed networks stemming from strong ties between political and economic actors by deregulation and should promote diversified networks by facilitating ties with outsiders.
