The Politics of International Technology Transfer
Policy Studies Journal, 1994Co-Authors: Sung Deuk Hahm, L. Christopher Plein, Richard FloridaAbstract:Technology transfer is well recognized as a major determinant in the economic development of Newly Industrializing Countries. Increasingly, technology transfer is also recognized as an important component in the economic fortunes of developed Countries. The globalization of markets and the premium placed on technological sophistication in industry and services emphasizes the need for governments to consider and engage in technology transfer policy strategies. Our understanding of the dynamics of technology transfer can be enhanced through the study of the experiences of specific states. It is against this backdrop that this paper presents an analysis of technology transfer patterns from the United States and Japan to South Korea from 1962 through 1992. The Korean experience reveals that patterns of technology transfer cannot be explained simply by concentrating on what has been transferred from donor Countries, such as the United Slates and Japan. Rather, we need to turn our focus to the host country and to the policy strategies that have been adopted to shape patterns of technology transfer. In short, the question turns from the economics of what, to the policies of how, technology transfer is accomplished.

The introduction of routine Haemophilus influenzae type b conjugate vaccine in Chile : a framework for evaluating new vaccines in Newly Industrializing Countries
Pediatric Infectious Disease Journal, 1998Co-Authors: Rosanna Lagos, Orin S. Levine, Alfredo Avendano, Isidoro Horwitz, Myron M. LevineAbstract:Objective. To determine the burden of Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib) disease, the safety and immunogenicity of Hib conjugate vaccine, the practicality of combining Hib conjugate and diphtheria-tetanuspertussis vaccines and the effectiveness of routine vaccination. Study designs. A series of studies were carried out involving infants and children in Santiago, Chile. The study designs included retrospective surveillance, cost-benefit analysis, randomized placebo-controlled trials of safety and immunogenicity and a Phase IV postlicensure evaluation of vaccine effectiveness. Results. The studies included in this stepwise process showed that Hib invasive disease was a significant public health problem with a substantial economic burden; that combining Hib conjugate and diphtheriatetanus-pertussis vaccines was practical, safe and elicited a strong immunologic response; and that the combined formulation afforded a high level of protection against invasive Hib disease (90% effectiveness). Conclusions. In July, 1996, Chile became only the third Newly Industrializing country to introduce routine Hib conjugate vaccination. New vaccines, such as Hib conjugates, will be more expensive than existing ones. The stepwise process used in Chile may serve as an example for the evaluation of new vaccines in nonindustrialized Countries.

Industrial policy reform in six large Newly Industrializing Countries: The resource curse thesis
World Development, 1994Co-Authors: Richard M. AutyAbstract:Abstract All six large Newly Industrializing Countries (NICs) in this study favored an autarkic industrial policy (AIP) in the 1950s. AIP required, however, the rapid build-up of heavy and chemical industry (HCI) which caused foreign exchange shortages if the HCI matured slowly. This is because the import and subsidy demands of the growing protected HCI sector became too burdensome for the competitive primary sector whose rents shrank in relative importance as the economic structure evolved. The two least well-endowed NICs abandoned AIP early in favor of a competitive industrial policy (CIP) which relied on labor- intensive exports to earn foreign exchange and resulted in rapid economic growth. In contrast, the resource bonus of the four best endowed NICs sustained AIP longer, but the longer AIP lasted the harder it became to reform and the slow-maturing HCI sector adversely affected economic growth. In this way the resource bonus became a curse rather than a blessing.

are the kaldor verdoorn laws applicable in the Newly Industrializing Countries
Review of Development Economics, 1999Co-Authors: Vaishali MamgainAbstract:The Kaldor‐Verdoorn “laws,” the focus of this work, are a set of stylized facts which attempt to describe growth in an economy. This paper tests these stylized facts using macroeconomic data from Newly Industrializing Countries. Results show that high rates of growth of manufacturing do not translate to high productivity rates in Singapore, Indonesia, Thailand, and Mauritius, but they do so in South Korea. A negative relation exists for Malaysia. This work questions the operation of Kaldor’s laws in the context of globalization and suggests a revision of the laws.
