The myths and realities of Asian growth

Article Abstract:

Economists who claim that economic growth in Asia is decelerating base their argument on claims that productivity growth has declined, as has Asian economies' competitiveness in the global export market. Furthermore, there is excess capacity in many economic sectors and an decrease in the savings to investment ratio. However, an examination of IMF data reveals that many of these hypotheses are erroneous.
