20世纪中叶,东亚和拉美基本处于同等发展水平。30年后一些东亚国家(地区)已跻身新兴工业化国家行列,而多数拉美国家因债务危机而陷入困境。基于人力资本的视角,我们认为“东亚奇迹”主要归因于丰裕的劳动力资源和人力资本的迅速扩大与有效利用。 By the middle of the 20th century, East Asia and Latin America were basically on the same level of development. Some 30 years later some East Asian countries and regions have become among the newly industrializing nations, while most Latin American countries are in trouble due to the debt crisis. From the perspective of human capital, we think “East Asian Miracle ” is mainly due to the rapid expansion and efficient use of abundant labor resources and human capital.
