Eng.) - Asian Institute of Technology, 1987  aSustained economic growth of newly industrializing countries and  middle-income southeast Asian countries over the past two decades has been  impressive, compared with the rest of the world. If we can analyse the  determinant factors of their economic growth, then we should be able to  chart economic growth paths of contemporary developing countries.  This research is a comparative study on the macroeconomic  determinants of economic growth in eight Asian countries. The effects of  external economic shocks and policy responses to these shocks are apparent  in the national income and product accounts because they present an overall  picture of the level and rate of change in a nation' s economic activity.  This study has screened the national income and product accounts of  selected countries by means of the predetermined macroeconomic indicators.  Thus, the determinants of their economic growth have been captured.  The findings of this macroeconomic analysis indicate that  openness of their economies, export promotion, negative import  substitution, growth of investment, and structural changes in economic  activities have positively affected economic growth. On the other hand,  factors such as a dependence on agriculture, the low productivity of  agriculture, government-introduced market distortions and investment in  inefficient industries have adversely affected their economies. 0aAsiaxEconomic conditions1 aFrausum, Yves G.
