The developmental state deploys a wide range of instruments, including directed credit, fiscal investment incentives, trade protection combined with a tariff-rebate system, and hard bargaining with multinationals intending to make foreign direct investments within the national territory.
“It deploys a wide range of instruments, including directed credit, fiscal investment incentives (such as tax rebates on production of products currently on the country's technology frontier), trade protection (combined with a tariff-rebate system so that producers can get tariff-free import of inputs which go into their exports while they pay the tariffs on what they sell on the domestic market),”
From The Developmental State: Dead or Alive? (2018) · cites this paper as Enos and Park, 1988
Throughout the fast catch-up phase, the South Korean and Taiwanese governments bargained hard with incoming MNCs, in a way that governments in many other developing countries (Chile and Hong Kong, for example) did not.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
