For any East Asian country of your choice, choose one of the models listed below and discuss the extent to which you think the model explains (or doesn’t explain) the economic growth and development experience of your chosen country? Give reasons for your answer
(The country is best to choose China, of course it can also be other countries)
Models to choose from:
• Lewis model
• Solow model
Your answer must discuss the predictions of the model you choose and whether or not the experience of the country you have chosen is consistent with the predictions of the model you have chosen. This will require presenting some data.
It is important that your answer show evidence of having read widely. Essays that simply summarise one or two readings will not get a good mark. You should synthesise the ideas from a wide range of readings and try and inject some originality into your answer. A web site that includes useful information different countries is the Encyclopaedia of Nations (www.nationsencyclopedia.com). As well as containing information on the various economies, it contains a bibliography, which should provide you with other helpful readings.
If you are wanting to find data on the country you are writing about, one place to look at is the World Development Indicators online(http://databank.worldbank.org/data/reports.aspx?source=world-development-indicators),
