Initial conditions for economic development Ⅱ. Development strategy Ⅲ. Economic miracle and its result Ⅳ. Factors of economic miracle Ⅴ. Cooperation frontier for mutual prosperity I. Initial conditions for economic development Korean tragedy of a nation • Demilitarised Zone (DMZ). • South Korea describes the war as a “tragedy of a nation”, but they are “Brothers.” • Koreans dream reunification with the belief of "dream comes true". • The fog of war is still exist, their desire to see a unified Korea is unmistakable. • Korea's development accomplished in hard way Economic conditions of the early 1960s • War-torn & divided with $89 in1961(101st out of 125 countries) • Vicious Cycle of low savings and low growth • Economic take-off with outward-looking development strategy(1960~80) I. Initial conditions for economic development • Korean society in pre-developmental stage I. Initial conditions for economic development Why Korea? • • • • • • Transition very rare Simultaneous economic and political development Economists (EPB) Technocrats (military service) Shared growth (Labor and capital) Catch up Japan(colonial experience) • Security(cold war front line with USA) I. Initial conditions for economic development Turning • Initiating the transition, the Start of Growth in the 1960s • Heavy and Chemical Industry Promotion in the 1970s • Rationalization and Liberalization in the 1980s • Democratization (1987) • Globalization in the 1990s • Financial crisis (1997) and post-crisis reform • Global Economic Crisis 2008 • New Challenges and Opportunities (rise or fall) I. Initial conditions for economic development Korea as a natural state • 1950s: Rhee regime not very different from most natural states throughout developing world. - Clientelism and personal exchange - Rents based on connections • Economic policy as an instrument of politics and coalitions - Foreign exchange - Import licenses - Grain • Heavy dependence on American aid • Yet unstable I. Initial conditions for economic development Initiating Korea’s transition, 1961-1979 • Park and military takeover, 1961 • Establishes the developmental state • Transformation of policy from personal to impersonal basis - Move toward economic independence based on export-led growth - Macroeconomic stability - Shared growth • Systematic and simultaneous transformation of polity and economy (doorstep) • New system of coordinated incentives I. Initial conditions for economic development SWOT of Mongolian Economy for Korea Strength/Opportunity Weakness/Threat - abundant natural resources (cupper 2nd, fluorspar 3rd, coal 4th, molybdenum 11th etc) - high dependence on natural resources - neighboring giant market(China, Russia) - land-locked(no sea line) - good manpower, political interest - high inflation and wage - abundant demand for SOC and construction Project - weak transportation infrastructure and lower urbanization - 100 tsn Korean understanding Mongolian - Small population size(less than 3mln) - equidistance diplomacy for Korea(S-N Korean and Mongolia, triangular cooperation) - source: 김형주, p.21 neighboring conflict (border dispute with China and Russia) II. Development strategy 1. Korea’s economic strategy as a developing country • unbalanced growth dual society, export oriented, Chaebol & SME, urban & rural, SOC investment, labor and business • outward or inward • economic development plan • Korea's outward mind • dispatched worker, Vietnam war, construction worker, sailor etc • proper investment in infrastructure development can lead to long-term growth. 2. Basic philosophy of the 5-year plan: five principles! • Korean economic development should be achieved through industrialization • Economic development should be achieved under government control and leadership. • Although firms should be owned and managed privately, the government could implement private decisions in the case of major investments (a variant of authoritarian capitalism) • To finance investments, foreign capital inflows should be induced • Growth should have a higher priority than redressing imbalances in income distribution and unevenness in industrial development across geographical regions 3. Strategic vision of the government for economic development • Poverty was regarded as the seed bed of social conflict & instability • Korean government faced challenging tasks of meeting BHN and maintaining national security 4. Outward-looking Development Strategy Policy shift from "Import Substitution" to "Export Promotion" in the early 1960s • • • • Export-promotion policy focused on labor-intensive industries in view of abundant and well educated labor force Strong export promotion led to rapid export growth of 40% per year between 1964-80 In particular, focus on labor-intensive exports in the 1960s led to large employment opportunities Unemployment rate continued to decline steadily as employment opportunities outgrew the labor force 5. Working mechanism of outward-looking development strategy 6. Korea’s comprehensive and concrete industrial development strategy since 1960s 7. Incentives for firms • Economic policy making in service of economic growth - Cooperation of business and government. • Exports - Loans, credit, licenses, refund import taxes - Profit opportunities - Tournaments - Impersonality • General trade company, Absence of SBC, 綜合商社, - Several restructurings 8. Incentives for Bureaucrats • Meritocratic/impersonal vs natural states/personal • But not independent of politics • Rewards for performance – Minister shuffling – Monthly meetings • Relative absence of bureaucratic corruption? – Most natural states, such as India, Mexico • EPB polices budgets • Pensions • Deliberative councils 10. Citizen Incentives • Repressive regime – Absence of political rights (e.g. association) – No democracy • Yet a range of impersonal benefits – Education – Infrastructure (e.g., rural roads to markets) – Security. • Shared growth – Open access to jobs in an expanding economy and the bureaucracy. – Rising wages (8%/year from 1970-1988) • Contrast with natural state 11. Government / coalition incentives • To make this system work, government (and coalition leaders) had to have incentives to support system of impersonal exchange. – What prevented reneging, especially in crises (e.g., early modern Europe, Latin America, Africa)? • The security dilemma: threat of communism. – Perceptions in 1950s and 60s – On-going threat from North Korea and China. • Credible commitment: [Differentiates from other natural states] – Reneging would destroy system creating independence and security – Maintain incentives for firms, meritocractic bureaucracy, and citizens. 12 Changing industrial structure: from agriculture to manufacturing / from light industry to heavy and chemical industry Changes in Export Commodity Profile III.

Received low score in social unification like fairness, social solidarity. ② Suicide rate • • • • • ③ • • • • • • • It's the Korea that records suicide rate number one position among the OECD members. Our nation's suicide rate is 33.3 people per 100 thousand people. Mental problems, physical problems and economic issues are main causes of suicide Estimated population Our nation's birthrate is 1.3 children per woman. It ranked 225th in the world which is very low level. (In Korea, it spends 262 million and 44 thousand Won to raise one kid.) Also, entering an aging society makes rapid progress. In 2026, it's going to enter super high aged society. As a result, potential of growth is getting lower because of decreasing the number of economically active people. III. Economic miracle and its result ④ Social inequality • Korea has been cited as one of successful countries with relatively low income inequality and rapid growth • It seems that all people are wealthy as the economy develops, • but the most wealth is biased to the super rich. • But the concentration of wealth in several levels of society. • The income gap has further widened. • Bipolarization; present ‘Occupy Wall Street ‘ 1 : 99 past golden rule/Pareto Distribution 78:22≒ 8 : 2 ⑤ • • • • • • The degree of dependence upon foreign trade Korea's degree of dependence upon foreign trade is very high. If the degree of dependence upon foreign trade is extremely high, it's impacted easily to the international economy. Korea's degree of dependence upon foreign trade is 94.5%, ranked 36th in the world. when the world economy crisis occurs, contagion effect blows Korea easily. III.

III. Economic miracle and its result •Mongolia economy, Bogdkgairkhan economic miracle 1. Growth of Mongolia: mid-term projection 2011 Mongolia can do, building on reform steps it has already taken, to avoid a “resource trap”. It argues that (i) cash transfers to the general population should be linked directly to the performance of (ii) the underlying mining assets to create a domestic constituency for good governance in the mining sector; (ii) social spending should be de-linked from resource revenues, better targeted and fully incorporated into the budget; (iii) macroeconomic volatility could be reduced by operationalising the fiscal stabilisation fund, issuing GDP-indexed debt instruments, and through financial sector reforms; and (iv) major infrastructure and industrial development projects should seek private sector coinvestments to ensure that public money is well spent. 2011* 2012* 2013* 2014* GROWTH OF REAL GDP /PERCENT, YOY/ 19.4 19.9 14.8 15.4 AGRICULTURE 7.8 5.0 3.6 3.7 INDUSTRY 11.3 36.6 21.6 23.0 SERVICE 8.9 9.3 13.5 12.7 .

Factors of economic miracle 5. 10 Tips for Economic Development based on Korean Experiences IV. Factors of economic miracle 6. Case : Construction Boom Factors of Middle East success • Lower wage: The wage level in Korea is only about 25 percent of that in Japan and about 10 percent of those in Western countries like Sweden. • Higher productivity: Korean companies gained a competitive edge by employing an all Korean labor force, in contrast to western companies that imported managers and cadres of skilled workers and hired the rest locally. • Government support: To encourage Korean contractors, the Korean government provides them with low-cost loans, loan guarantees, and five-year tax exemptions on earnings from exports of construction materials and equipments. Lessons from Korea's Experience • Equal opportunity (dissolution of traditional hierarchical social status system ) • Competition, performance-based government support • Broad access to education and raising technical know-how • Growth with job-creation, initially led by labor intensive export promotion • Promoting spirit of self-help: Saemael movement IV. Factors of economic miracle Mongolia's economy Growth factors • Natural resources boom • Mining as a primary pillar of economic growth - 30% of GDP, 80% of exports - Multi-billion projects starting in 2009 - Just 2 projects (OT, TT) include investment of 10 billion dollars, large than size of GDP - Many more private investment projects - Largest world companies coming to cooperate: Rio Tinto, Goldman Sachs, Deutsche Bank, Peabody, Xstrata, Vale, Temasek, CIC, etc V.

Mongolia’s Agenda 21 (Mongolian Government Report for UNDP, 2012) Grand Blue Print for Mongolia Development “Mongolia’s Agenda 21 does not only represent the nation’s will for freedom and a wealthy life in the coming century, it also commits to the goal for the Government and people to work together for a better life” environmental disadvantages for economic development in Mongolia five factors such as climate, desert, scare population, nomadic life and colonial experiences were discussed in this paper V. Cooperation frontier for mutual prosperity 3. Why Korea? Traditional Sadon country Cultural DNA Neutral for the Solongos reunification 3rd neighbor policy • Mongolia's 'Third Neighbor' Foreign Policy • Russia and China, third neighbor countries play a crucial role in Mongolia development • gate way to ocean and Eurasia, • Beyond Manpower, marriage relatives, anti-China in Africa, GCC V. Cooperation frontier for mutual prosperity 4. What Korea? • Resource cooperation • Technology cooperation • Sharing economic development experiences • Market cooperation for bilateral cooperation • Mongolian infra for Korea's land bridge/inner Asia and East European market • Korean infra cooperation for Mongolia Ocean V. Cooperation frontier for mutual prosperity 5. How Korea? • • Strategic FTA Silk road/Eurasia railway/TMGR, Tuman River development, reunification • Capability building, KSP(Knowledge Sharing Program) • • • • Tourism FTA Korea's ODA and EDCF Accumulation of knowledge and capabilities Effective transformation relies on specific capabilities ranging from skills and policies to effectively deploy domestic and external resources, policies, and programmes to transform natural resources, as well as strategies to harness the opportunitities in a globalized knowledge economy.

Cooperation frontier for mutual prosperity 10. Mongolia and Korea FTA Strategic, vertical and long-run • • • • As for Mongolia, it is significant to establish the FTA with South Korea. In particular, South Korea is geographically the close and is one of the countries that consume the largest amount of natural resources such as copper and coal in the world market among the developed countries. Our competence in export can be improved and the transport cost can be reduced through a strategy to attract Korean investments and latest technology to Mongolia. If we assume that there will not appear major change in the structure of the Mongolian export, in other words, there would be slight benefits from mineral products and the raw materials. So, it is important to negotiate on an agreement to reduce the customs tariff of a product with value added that is feasible to be exported to Korea. One of the main difficulties from expanding the trade with Korea is definitely the transport costs, and it is crucial to collaborate with Korea on solving this problem. Especially, we have to work on the support of Korea and its trade partners in regard to the proposal of group of landlocked countries to include application of national treatment in a transit transport in the WTO.
