Synopsis

This book is the first of its kind to systematically analyze and apply Lim Chong Yah's S-Curve Hypothesis to the various facets of economic growth and economic transition. By augmenting the mathematical and economical sophistication of the hypothesis, this book extends the S-Curve hypothesis to provide further insight into economic growth and transition. It also utilizes a construction of a stochastic growth model to provide the microeconomic foundation for the S-Curve hypothesis. This model resolves the puzzle of why some developing countries experience economic take-off, while others do not. The book analyzes and extends discussion on the S-Curve, and also applies the S-Curve hypothesis to predict long-term growth in Japan and Singapore. It serves as an excellent resource for people interested in Lim's growth theory.

A propos du livre

Revue de presse

Although the monograph is focused on Lim's S-Curve hypothesis, it is well grounded in the contemporary theoretical and empirical growth literature. The author has demonstrated her awareness and critical appreciation of this literature and her research can be judged to have made a contribution to knowledge in this field. The research is original and worthy of publication. --Colin Kirkpatrick, Emeritus Professor of Development Economics (University of Manchester, UK)

This is a very good monograph. It is also a pleasure to read. The author has provided an adequate econometric analysis of Lim's S-Curve hypothesis with special reference to the case of Singapore. The basic points have been competently demonstrated. The case for the existence of substantial TFP growth for Singapore (i.e. the case against Krugman and Young) in Chapter 4 is particularly satisfying --Ng Yew Kwang, Professor of Economics, Monash University Fellow, Academy of Social Sciences

In my view, the monograph has shown a carefully structured analysis with coherent arguments. It also demonstrates the author's full awareness of the literature. --Chen Kang, Associate Professor of Economics, Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy (National University of Singapore) & Wang Yanan, Chair, Professor of Economics (Xiamen University)
