Conference Highlight: How Can the EU Emulate the Positive Features of the East Asian Model?
“Three advantages of the East Asian model stand out: small social transfers, low taxation and free labor markets. The superiority of such policies is now widely accepted, and the question is how they can be emulated by Europe.” This was the question posed by Anders Åslund of the Peterson Institute of International Economics during the Winds of Change conference. See the latest publication in the 'CASE Studies and Analyses' series to read his recommendations for how Europe can follow the East Asian model of sustainable high economic growth.
