Abstract

The comparative economic performance of countries in Africa and Asia has attracted considerable attention from economists and policy-makers in recent years. In particular, significant contrasts have been made between the growth performances of the states in sub-Saharan African and the East and South-East Asian ‘tiger’ economies. From a different perspective, comparisons have also been drawn between sub-Saharan African states, South-Asia and China. Much less attention however, has been directed at the comparative economic performance of very small states or ‘micro-states’ in these two regions.
