0.The Origin of Export-led Growth Strategy
The origin of export-led growth strategy is based onA. Smith and D. Ricardo’s thoughts.
• A. Smith suggests to increase exports to least developed countries (colonialcountries) needed for the development.
• And D. Ricardo’s "Comparative Advantage Theory (CAT)”, the main starting point of today's export-led growth strategy
0.The Origin of Export-led Growth Strategy
Outward-Looking Development Strategies
Government support for manufacturing sectors in which a country has potential comparative advantege.
• There are some tests about the relationship between economic growth and export in economic literature.
• Some of them say that export affects economic growth
The main of these studies are as follows:
Tyler (1981), Kavoussi (1984), Rivera-Batiz and Romer (1991), Grossman (1991), Bahmani-Oskooee and Alse (1993), Sengupta and Espana (1994), Kwan and Kwok (1995), Doraisami (1996), Bahmani-Oskooee and Niroomand (1999).
• And some economists say that there is no significant relationship
Akbar and Naqvi (2000), Ahmed et al.(2000), Panas and Vamvoukas (2002).
Some important effects on economic growth of exports can be summarized as follows:
• First, export increases competitiveness.
• Second, productivity growth in foreign trade, as well as to obtain new technologies(technology imports) and providing the spread of technologies.
• Third, specialization and benefit from comparative advantages
• Fourth, some economies has narrow domestic market but they can getopportunities to make the economic scale of production with exporting
• Fifth, by increasing foreign exchange inflow reduces pressure of foreign exchange payments. Thus allows an increase in imports of goods and services.

Criterion Outward looking strategy Inward looking strategy
Problems Production of primary goods as bases for outward looking strategyVulnerability due to world market developments (ToT, price shocks) Initiation of new industries
orientation according to cost disadvantagesProtectionism and inefficiencyNarrow domestic marketsHigh share of imports in inputs (no absolute foreign exchange use, but only change of imported goods)Reduction of protectionism and moving towards export-orientation
• After the oil crises of 1973, economies in the world went into a quest.
• In August 1982, Mexican crisis
Washington Consensus
• in 1985 the US Treasury Secretary, James Baker
• by Washington, D.C.-based institutions such as the IMF, World Bank, and the US Treasury Department
• the term was initially coined in 1989 by John Williamson to describe a set of ten specific economic policy prescriptions that he considered should constitute the "standard" reform package promoted for crisis-wracked developing countries
The causes of the economic crisis:
• The overgrown with protectionism and excessive state intervention in the public sector
Economic crisis management:
• reduce government intervention in the medium term
• a growth strategy based on exports to support the market economy
• some countries tried to apply this package which is about freee market
and a growth strategy based on exports
• Argentina experience resulted in the crisis(1999-2002), this is not the only example
- in next slides we will see exprience of Turkey
• At that time economy of Argentina was not ready yet to apply these changes
• Turkey applied without creating thenecessary regulatory mechanisms and without taking adequate protective measures.As a result Turkey met two of the crisis(1994 and 2001)
• Turkey had in a large public sector deficits and trade deficits before the crises
• for example, in 1993 foreign trade deficit increased by 72.7% to$14.1 billion
• Similar to the same indicators in 2000, foreign trade deficit increased by 89.9% to $26.3 billion
The Four Asian Tigers
How did the Four Asian Tigers achieve?
• The Four Asian Tigers pursued an export-driven model of economic development with the exportation of goods to highly-industrialized nations.
• All four Asian Tigers have a highly educated and skilled workforce and have specialized in areas where they had a competitive advantage. For example, Hong Kong and Singapore became world leading international financial centers, while South Korea and Taiwan became world leaders in information technology.
• and these countries(NICs ;Hong Kong, Singapore, South Korea, and Taiwan) also produce and export high-tech products
• The highest concentration on labor-intensive exports( primarily textiles and garments) is currently in Pakistan(94%) , followed at some distance by China(58%) , India(50%), Indonesia(49%).
• The lowest wages are probably in China and Indonesia, while Hong Kong is a high-wage economy.
