Reviews

'Chow's book provides a comprehensive description of trade and foreign direct investment in East Asian economies by using a wide variety of trade-related indexes and regression analysis. Such detailed analysis is also complemented with an interesting narrative of institutional building for economic integration in East Asia. Thus, the book offers an invaluable reference and insights not only for those who are interested in the success of East Asian economies but also for those who plan to conduct an economic analysis on the East Asian model of economic development.' -- Kiyoyasu Tanaka, The Developing Economies '... this volume will be of interest to researchers interested in applying the standard tools of quantitative international economics to East Asian development experiences.' -- Hal Hill, Economic Record
