Answer to Question 1

Although there are many who draw precisely this lesson from the  East Asian Miracle of the past half-century, such a conclusion does not necessarily follow logically. Although the four HPAEs succeeded in their economic as well as in their export sector growth, they differed among themselves considerably in the degree and manner with which they abjured protectionist policies. In any case, export-promotion policies may distort relative prices to the same extent as import protectionist policies, and hence may lead to the same waste and misallocation of national resources.
