The East Asian model (sometimes known as state-sponsored capitalism [1]) is an economic system where the government invests in certain sectors of the economy in order to stimulate the growth of new (or specific) industries in the private sector. It generally refers to the model of development pursued in East Asian economies like Singapore, Japan, Taiwan and South Korea.[2] In recent decades it has also been used to classify the contemporary economic system in mainland China.[3]
Key aspects of the East Asian model include state control of finance, direct support for state-owned enterprises in "strategic sectors" of the economy or the creation of privately owned "national champions", high dependence on the export market for growth, and a high rate of savings. It is similar to dirigisme.
This economic system differs from a centrally planned economy, where the state would mobilize its own resources to create the needed industries which would themselves end up being state-owned and operated.
