Some International Differences In Approaches To Industrial Policy

Author

  • BELA GOLD

Abstract

This paper reviews some general objectives and means of implementing industrial policy, and then focuses on what seem to be the key issues. Next, various patterns and results of industrial policy experiences in Japan and several Western European countries are reviewed and contrasted with the more limited U.S. industrial policy efforts. Finally, the discussion turns to key determinants of international competitiveness and limited ways in which U.S. governmental policies could make constructive contributions.
