| description | The purpose of this paper is to discuss links between policy settings, institutions and economics growth in selected ASEAN countries: Malaysia, Singapore and Thailand. An Augmented Solow Model to identify the relationship between growth and policy related variables.

Interestingly government consumption seems to have positive impact on growth for certain ASEAN countries instead of positive like most well develop countries. |
