1 5 th Dialogue on Social Market Economy East Asia and Eastern Europe in a globalized perspective lessons from Korea and Estonia Tartu (Estonia) April 2013
2 Korea crisis country or superstar?
3 Overview Introduction 3 main fields of institutional transformation Macroeconomic performance after the Asian crisis and the current debate for a new economic model Conclusion
4 Lessons from transformation countries Economic systems laboratories From monist (neo-classical) to heterodox explanations Institutions as missing links 3 aspects Formal vs informal institutions Institutional embeddedness (culture and institutions) Institutional competition (external aspects)
5 The market for institutions model External context: institutional competition (EU; WTO; IMF) Internal context: embeddedness (culture, cognitive models: risk aversion; time; hierarchy etc.) Formal and informal institutions Intended vs. unintended consequences of policies Supply and demand side for institutions market model The expectations equilibrium Economic crisis and transformation
6
7 Monetary policy after the crisis Formal vs informal institutions Formal: increased Central Bank independence modeled on European models Change in goals (price stability) Change in independence (political, economic, organizational) Informal: hierarchies and networks continue to work despite changed formal framework No immediate change
8 Over this half-century, the Bank has strived to help the Korean people to shake off the vestiges of colonialism and recover from the disaster of war, and it has made every effort to lay the cornerstone of sustainable growth for the nation s process of economic development (Bank of Korea 2000).
9 CBI and Inflation for selected OECD economies
10 CBI and inflation in transformation economies
11 Reform of the BOK (1) Until 1997 From 1998 Objective of monetary policy Monetary Policy Committee Monetary value; financial system stability 9 members; 2 independent Price stability 7 members; 4 independent Chairman of MPC MOFE BOK Monetary policy regime Indetermined (monetary Inflation targeting
12 Reform of the BOK (2) Until 1997 From 1998 Conflicts in mon. policy Government decides BOK decides Bank supervision BOK FSC Accountability Organizational change indetermined Approval by MOFE Annual reports to National Assembly Approval by MPC
13 Conflicts in post-crisis monetary policy in Korea (1) Crisis did not end conflicts between BOK and MOFE In IMF dominance, nevertheless DJinterest Most often conflicts over call rate (announcements of MOFE before MPC meetings) On more than 50 occasions from Indirect pressure (e.g. through KDI)
14 Conflicts in post-crisis monetary policy in Korea (2) Informal Policy coordination meetings Conflicts over exchange-rate management Informal coordination through Foreign Exchange Market Stability Council Political conflicts over BOK appointments by government
15 The Monetary Policy Committee as an epistemic community 25 members from 1998 to graduates of SNU (plus 4 Korea, Yonsei Uni.) 18 graduates of American universities 9 with MOFE/ EPB affiliation, plus 8 with BOK affiliation MPC as epistemic community, mixing Korean political culture with US-oriented economic belief system
16 A longer term perspective For BOK, institutional reform of 1997 can be called as success Still conflicts about monetary policy Revision of BOK act 2003 increased independence further International environment was conducive Danger of Asset price, real estate bubble Continuing presence of pro-growth orientation
17 ...a longer term perspective Not completely new theory of central banking But identification of important factors to understand CB performance Institutions, institutional competition, cultural embeddedness Important conclusions for CBI measurement Limited value of optimal design approach (as well in normative economics as in public choice perspective)
18 FDI after the Asian crisis from closed economy to embracing foreign investment throughout the 1990s, but only openly and aggressively after the crisis segewha policy to DJnomics protecting core sectors (culture, law, education): protectionism vs. cultural sensitivities Foreign brands: from liability to asset (e.g. cars) Difficult high-profile cases (KEB)
19 Korea s FDI policy change IMF crisis as catalyst for FDI reforms Sale of 2 banks to foreign institutions Opening of restricted sectors (besides media, education) 1998 Foreign Investment Promotion Act Ombudsman for investment KOTRA one stop service for investors Direct financial aid for investing companies
20 Application of transformation theory External environment: pressure for opening (IMF conditionality; bilateral pressure) Institutional competition: learning from FDI inflows in other countries (benchmarking) New policy approach: Hub of East Asia (logistics; finance; services, corporate headquarters) Market for politics: changed position of foreign investors Cognitive models: changed perception of foreign investors
21
22 Trade policy after the Asian crisis from multilateralism to bilateralism/ regionalism Latecomer to bilateralism perceptions of opening as threat ( hermit kingdom ) vs. perceptions of opening as chance Political vs. economic aspects of trade agreements (no dissociation of trade agreements from policy, though it works for trade)
23 A look back trade policy 1996 OECD member state, but in trade negotiations still status of developing country Rise of China Rise of outbound investment (in 1990s in China, Southeast Asia) Long-time favoring trade multilateralism Fear of being left out of trade networks particular
24 A look back trade policy (2) Strategy of bilateral FTAs with major partners in all continents FTA with Chile as icebreaker Routine of preparatory studies KORUS, KOREU FTAs as major achievements of Lee Myung-Bak government Regional integration as more and more important alternative/ supplement
25 Application of transformation theory External environment: pressure for opening through fear of being left out (plus subsequent failures of world trade negotiations) Institutional competition: imitation (benchmarking) New policy approach: proactive approach to ASEAN plus 3 (China, Japan, Korea), Korea as catalyst, regional balancer in Northeast Asia, plus access to markets by worldwide FTAs Market for politics: decline of producer lobbies (in particular agriculture), rise of consumer lobbies Cognitive models: changed perception of gains and losses from FTA
26
27
28 Some macroeconomic comparisons
29 Korea, a crisis country? The different perception of Korea`s success abroad and at home (education policy and PISA; growth policy and inequality; Dependence on two giants: Samsung and Hyundai/Kia The slow, but undeniable limitations to welfare spending The Damocles sword of household debt
30
31
32
33
34 The failure of an old expectations equilibrium Growth of chaebol will lead to overall and strong growth and income Working hard for education will lead to secured jobs Successful companies will take care of unsuccessful companies (Kia, Daewoo vs. Ssangyong case) Growth will help to overcome debt problems, in particular through ever-growing house prices
35 Is the Social Market Economy a way out? The idea of Social Market Economy 3.0 The alleged attractions of Social Market Economy Balanced regional development Strong and independent SME sector, hidden champions with innovative potential Political stability as precondition for longer term growth policies The big question: can their be a new state-led drive for Social Market Economy? Or how can it grow from below?
