The Economic Growth of Korea after 1990:
Identifying Contributing Factors from Demand
and Supply Sides
Trang 2The Purpose of This Study is
To understand the Growth of Korean Economy since 1990
• Based on two linear stochastic models, which contrast the institutional changes Korea went through after the Financial Crisis
• To measure the relative contributions of various shocks to the growth path of Korea
• Demand, supply (productivity), oil shocks,…
Trang 3Methodology
Introduce two systems of linear stochastic difference equations, each of which represents the Korean
economy before and after the Financial Crisis.
Following Blanchard and Quah(1989), (1) Derive run restrictions and (2) Estimate SVAR models with them.
long- Shocks are roughly classified into demand, supply and foreign shocks.

• By adjusting Money Growth
• Assuming a fixed or managed exchange rate system,
• Autonomy of monetary policy is tied to maintain

Trang 34 Our models are special in that (1) they extend the
closed economy of the original S-W(2002) to a small open economy and (2) they contrast the institutional changes in Korea after the Financial Crisis.
Concluding Remarks(1/2)
Trang 35 On the other hand, the market friendly institutional changes( the introductions of the inflation targeting and the flexible exchange rate system) may absorb shocks more effectively.
Overall, the magnitudes and the persistence of impulse responses tend to decrease in 2000s.
In addition, successfully coordinated low interest rate regime
initiated by FRB in the early 2000s contributes to reducing shocks themselves.
