Item Open Access Perspectives(2000) Wilson, Dominic; Drysdale, PeterThe role of the state in East Asian development has always been a controver ial issue. On the one hand, neoclassical economists argued that three decades of extraordinary Ea t Asian growth were largely the consequence of policies that let the market function and kept distortions to a minimum (Krueger 1995). On the other, critics of the neoclassical approach maintained that the close ties between industry and government and selective government interventions were critical to the extraordinary growth performance of many East Asian economies (Amsden 1989; Wade 1990).Item Open Access East Asia in the International System: Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation · and the Challenge of Discriminatory TradeGarnaut, Ross; Drysdale, PeterSustained, rapid economic growth in East Asia has been the outstanding feature of world economic development in the last third of the twentieth century.Item Open Access The Pacific: An Application of a General Theory of Economic IntegrationDrysdale, Peter; Garnaut, RossThe rapid expansion of intraregional trade within East Asia and in the wider Asia-Pacific region has been one of the defining characteristics of East Asian economic dynamism in recent decades. This paper seeks to explain the nature of intraregional economic integration in East Asia and the Pacific, and to draw implications for the future of the international trading system and for the place of East Asia and the Pacific in itItem Open Access Asia Pacific regionalism: the issues(HarperEducation in association with the Australia-Japan Research Centre, the Australian National University) Garnaut, Ross; Drysdale, PeterIt is now a commonplace that the Asia Pacific is the world's most dynamic centre of growth in trade and economic output.Item Open Access Joint Tests of Contagion with Applications to Financial Crises(Centre for Applied Macroeconomic Analysis, 2017-03) Fry-McKibbin, Renee; Hsiao, Cody Yu-Ling; Martin, Vance L.Joint tests of contagion are derived which are designed to have power where contagion operates simultaneously through coskewness, cokurtosis and covolatility. Finite sample properties of the new tests are evaluated and compared with existing tests of contagion that focus on a single channel. Applying the tests to daily Eurozone equity returns from 2005 to 2014 shows that contagion operates through higher order moment channels during the GFC and the European debt crisis, which are not necessarily detected by traditional tests based on correlations.Item Open Access The Informal Economy in Development: Evidence from German, British and Australian New Guinea(Development Policy Centre, Crawford School of Public Policy, Australian National University, 2020-12-16) Conroy, John D.This study deals with the informal economy observed in developing countries, a focus inspired by the anthropologist Keith Hart’s recognition of informal economic activity in 1960s Ghana. There, as in other ‘under-developed’ territories and newly-independent states, economic informality was associated with colonialism and the subsequent ideology of ‘economic development’ that took hold among the Western victors of World War II. Economic informality arose under colonial influence because of the imposition of bureaucratic rule and the forced introduction or intensification of market processes. The metaphor of popular pushback against such pressures is useful to understand how subject peoples accommodated themselves to colonialism, with results including both informal and hybrid economic behaviours. With the idea of informal economy employed as a lens, The Informal Economy in Development explores these themes across historical experience in the former German, British and Australian colonies in New Guinea, now incorporated as the modern state of Papua New Guinea.Item Open Access Comparing income transfer systems: is Australia the poor relation?(Canberra, ACT: Public Policy Program, The Australian National University, 1990) Mitchell, DeborahItem Open Access Transferring new technology to village communities: a non-government organisation experience in Indonesia(Canberra : National Centre for Development Studies, 1995, 1995) Barlow, Colin; Beeh, MesItem Open Access The Hong Kong/China connection: trade and the wool industry(Canberra : National Centre for Development Studies, 1995, 1995) Woo, Tun-oy; Yun-Wing, SungItem Open Access The market for tree crop technology: a Sumatran case(Canberra : National Centre for Development Studies, 1995, 1995) Barlow, ColinItem Open Access Indonesian banking post-deregulation: moral hazard and high real interest rates(Canberra : National Centre for Development Studies, 1995, 1995) Suwandi, TitinItem Open Access Indonesia's industrial policy and performance: 'orthodoxy' vindicated(Canberra : National Centre for Development Studies, 1995, 1995) Hill, Hal, 1948-Item Open Access Commercial profit or community gain?: business culture in Micronesian countries(Canberra : National Centre for Development Studies, 1994, 1994) Pollard, StephenItem Open Access India's economic reforms: towards a new paradigm?(Canberra : National Centre for Development Studies, 1994, 1994) Shand, Ric; Kalirajan, K.
