Abstract

ABSTRACT Turkey’s per capita income was nearly three times South Korea’s in 1962. Dramatic change has been observed since then. South Korea has transformed into an innovative economy approaching the global technology frontier in only a few decades. Turkey, on the other hand, has attained limited success with missed opportunities and has fallen behind. This article asks why this spectacular success was observed in South Korea, but not in Turkey. It seeks an answer by concentrating on certain variables that may explain this outcome. Assuming that primarily different types and capacities of societies and states explain the variations in economic performance, the article examines in particular, the institutional foundations of Turkish and Korean societies.

土耳其与韩国发展绩效的差异:一个政治经济学视角的评价

1962年，土耳其的人均收入几乎是韩国的三倍。从那以后发生了巨大的变化。在短短几十年里，韩国已经转变为一个接近全球技术前沿的创新型经济体。另一方面，土耳其由于错过了机会而取得了有限的成功，并且已经落后。这篇文章想问为什么这种惊人的成功发生在韩国，而在土耳其却没有。它通过关注可能解释这一结果的某些变量来寻求答案。假设主要是社会和国家的不同类型和能力解释了经济表现的差异，本文特别研究了土耳其和韩国社会的制度基础。
