The machinery industry is a very difficult sector to develop in the short term. It is also not easy to drastically shorten the developmental period. Therefore, it is necessary for developing countries to thoroughly review Korea’s policy trends when designing machinery industry policies. This...

We study whether the effects on registered manufacturing output of dismantling the License Raj – a system of central controls regulating entry and production activity in this sector – vary across Indian states with different labor market regulations. The effects are found to be unequal...

This paper surveys and analyzes industrial policies in Colombia, finding extensive use of productive development policies (PDPs) and despite claims of only moderate government intervention. Rarely explicitly associated with the need to address market failures, PDPs are instead associated with...

Recent empirical evidence underscores the vital role of industrial development in fostering structural change and promoting a country's long-run development objectives. Devising sound industrial policy institutions emerges as a key policy option to promote the reallocation of human, physical and...
