Abstract: While recognizing that education contributes to economic growth, investments in human capital contributed to high economic growth and also to better income distribution in East Asia; and human capital, in turn, received dividends from these two gains on the economic front. This paper presents an analysis of investments in human capital, specifically education, in East Asian economies. It presents a review of past trends in education, the policies followed by East Asian economies for the development of education, the emerging issues and lessons that the East Asian experience offers to other developing economies particularly those in transition). Three important dimensions of patterns of expenditure on education that are given serious attention in this paper are (a) allocation of resources to education as a whole, (b) allocation of budgetary resources between different levels of education (primary, secondary, and higher), and (c) the role of the private sector in education.

TL;DR: The authors argued that the controversy over the role of public policy in East Asian industrialisation should not be seen as a question of whether economic success can be attributed to states or markets, but rather as a conflict over policy frames.
Abstract: This study argues that the controversy over the role of public policy in East Asian industrialisation should not be seen as a question of whether economic success can be attributed to states or markets, but rather as a conflict over policy frames. East Asian policies analyse national trends in a global context and have sought to achieve nationalist economic goals; the currently dominant development policy paradigm attributes national economic success mainly to internal factors yet seeks to promote a liberal international economic order. The study examines misunderstanding which arises when East Asian success is explained in the terms of the dominant paradigm, focusing on ‘outward‐oriented’ as a key word, the World Bank study The East Asian Miracle, and the flying geese model of development.
