Participation of developing nations in the global integrated circuit industry : the experience of the US, Japan, and the NIE"s
Sign inSRI INTERNATIONAL
The global microelectronics industry is virtually unique it its relative youth (less than four decades old), rapid growth, and in the ability of developing nations to enter the production of world-class systems and (in some instances) components for foreign markets.

Abstract
The industry is one of considerable interest to policymakers in the advanced, developing, and newly industrializing economies -- indeed, the policy decisions made by various participants affect the viability or entry prospects of others. This paper reviews the development of the postwar microelectronics industry in the United States, Japan, and a number of newly industrialized economies, in an effort to derive policy lessons from this experience for prospective and recent entrants into the industry. Recent policy initiatives in the United States and other industrial economies will affect this industry"s structure and evolution, and these issues accordingly are discussed as well.
