arises particularly through the technology and to industrial-country markets. The extent and way in impact benefits the host country is heavily influenced by policies adopted in those countries. Host country policies largely determine the volume of foreign direct investment they wish to obtain and its effects on the economy, not by special foreign invest- ‘ment ‘incentives’, but by their basic economic ‘rules of the game’. Hy! ROBERT WADE* 5 THE ROLE OF GOVERNMENT IN OVERCOMING MARKET FAILURE: TAIWAN, REPUBLIC OF KOREA AND JAPAN Governments ought not to give more incentives to some industries than to others, except to overcome inherent market failure. Inherent market failure is uncommon, even in developing countries. Most apparent market failures are policy induced; they arise from government action or inaction —action to restrict market access, or failure to establish a capital market, for example. The appropriate role of government is therefore to help create and sustain an economic environment in which price signals drive in- dustrial change. This it can do by adopting a neutral policy regime, a free trade (or almost free trade) regime and a unable to impose ‘political’ prices. ical evidence for the validity of this proposition comes from the contrast between the East Asian developing countries and Japan, on the one hand, and most of the rest of the developing world, on the other. The superior economic perform- ance of the East Asian capitalist countries has gone with a rela- tively neutral policy regime; the inferior economic performance elsewhere went with varying degrees of distortions. The causality is from distortions, or lack of them, to results. ‘That, [ believe, is a fair summary of the central interpretation of the East Asian experience by neo-classical development econ- + This paper i based on parts ofa book-length manuscript, called Sweet and Sour ym: Industrial Policy Taiwan-style.

Japan teaches a lesson ... about y ofthe free market’ (198), cited in Johnson 1985:3), The idea that Japanese industrial polices actually hindered economic performance is caught in the assertion that ‘Without MITI Japan ‘would have grown at 15 per cent per nnuim’, instead of only 10 per cent (unnamed Japanese economist cuoted by Little 1979a:491). Saxonhouse (1983) and Trezise (1983) make more serious argu- ‘ments to the effect that selective industiial steerage has been a very ‘minor element in Japan’s success. ‘There is indeed a colossal identification problem. How can one tell that market liberalization (coupled with general infrastructural and educational investment) was the most important factor by far? id of evidence is needed to show that industrial strategy made a difference too important to ignore? ‘The question is complicated by the need to distinguish two levels, of industrial strategy — the generic level, on the one hand, including policies on the exchange rate, finance, taxation, and so on, which together establish the broad thrust of government policy towards -a-vis redistribution and consumption; and the sectoral level, on the other. The effect of sec- toral policies can be expected to depend partly on the net effect of these two levelsis clearly a major undertaki aside, how might one assess impact atthe sectoral level? ‘One might study a set of industries to examine the connect tween promotion measures and subsequent growth.
