Land-Use Controls and Economic Freedom: the Diverging Histories of Singapore and Taipei

In: Asia-Pacific Transitions

Abstract

Conventional rankings of economic freedom focus on factors such as impediments to international trade, government spending as a share of GDP, and the regulation of foreign direct investment (FDI). According to these conventional criteria, Hong Kong consistently ranks as the world’s freest economy, while Singapore — with equal consistency — ranks as the second freest economy (Gwartney et al., 1996). However, traditional definition of ‘economic freedom’ may be relevant for multinational corporations contemplating investments in new markets, but it is far less useful at the level of the individual citizen.
