Economic Policy is important for growth and Development of many countries. The starkest example of what the gains and losses from policy can be comes from the varying experience of sub-Saharan Africa and East Asia in the last sixty years. Tracking Development in South-East Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa indicates that the two regions with comparable levels of income per capita in the 1950s diverged in growth so rapidly. Why are there so many Asian tigers and not yet so many African lions? What could Africa learn from Southeast Asian development trajectories?
