October 25, 2012 A Constructive Partnership The World Bank and Korea in the Early Stage of Korea's Economic Takeoff: Preliminary Findings Giovanni Zanalda (Duke University)

The post-1960 Republic of Korea (Korea) economic growth is one of the most successful examples of economic development in a relatively short period of time Source: Grilli (2006)

…and continued to be successful Middle-Income Trap Source: Spence (2011) Convergence Source: OECD (2012)

Paradigmatic nature of Korea’s development. Michael Spence (2011) taxonomy High level of overall saving and investment Effective government that supports and complements the private sector dynamics Structural change and economic diversification Effective leadership Ability to take advantage of global economy

We concentrate on the 1960s - early 1970s Initial stage of economic development: the take-off Scholars have been debating about factors behind Korea’s growth during the 1960s and 1970s The role of the World Bank: a first assessment in Mahn-Je Kim (1997) [The World Bank. Its First Half Century]

My analysis based on World Bank archives documentation What is the value added of these documents? Sources and their limits Assessing Korea’s development and World Bank’s role as a lender and advisor Lessons to inform development policy

Preliminary Findings Switching from skepticism to confidence Building of trust among WB and Korean officials Personal relationships Training Missions WB role as advisor on technical aspects and strategies The first two Five-Year Development Plans Building institutions WB role as advisor on international issues Markets Donors Geopolitical issues

Preliminary lessons WB documents bring to light: – A very composite history of the beginning of Korean development – The role of intangible assets: transfer of skills and know-how between WB and Korea – The WB as repository of knowledge: applying lessons across countries – The personal and often casual dimension of development: agents, decision making, and policies
