2 Abstract A sustained recovery of the Japanese economy is generally considered vital for the sustained recovery of East Asian newly industrialising economies (NIEs). The underlying assumption is that Japan is a significant engine of growth in East Asia. The primary objective of our study is to use cointegration analysis of real GDP time series to examine growth linkages between the Japanese ec...

"This theoretical discussion of the migration transition in Asia develops a framework to understand the turning point from labor exporter to labor importer experienced by the Asian NIES [newly industrialized economies] (Hong Kong, Korea, Singapore and Taiwan). The author concludes that the NIEs' demand for labor curve shifted rapidly, primarily due to export-led growth of a labor-intensive cha...

This paper seeks to explain different real wage outcomes in two groups of East Asian economies: two New Industrialising Economies (NIEs: Korea and Taiwan), and three Southeast Asian economies (ASEAN-3: Malaysia, Thailand and Indonesia), all of which grew rapidly for several decades prior to the Asian economic crisis. Drawing on international and national data sets, the paper examines dynamic in...

newly industrializing economies (NIEs) is vast, rich, and highly contentious. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said for the literature on industrial pollution management in these economies. (These NIEs include China, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Malaysia, South Korea, Taiwan1, Thailand, and Singapore.) To begin with, there are relatively few studies of industrial pollution management in the East Asia...

To assess the genetic diversity of domestic Japanese quail (Coturnix japonica) populations, and their genetic relationships, we examined mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) D-loop sequences and microsatellite markers for 19 Japanese quail populations. The populations included nine laboratory lines established in Japan (LWC, Quv, RWN, WE, AWE, AMRP, rb-TKP, NIES-L, and W), six meat-type quail lines reimpo...

EAST Asian economic integration appears on the brink of becoming de jure, not de facto. From the 1980s, East Asia developed high levels of intraregional trade in response to market forces, not preferential trade agreements (PTAs). One reason was rising incomes in Japan and the newly industrialised economies (NIEs) of Hong Kong, Korea, Singapore and Taiwan, creating an incentive for these econom...
