Abstract

This paper considers the impact that the Vietnam War had on the economic growth of East Asia. Somewhat inexplicably, most of the existing research on the economic growth of East Asia fails to address the influence of the Vietnam War. However, the war demonstrably had a major impact on the economic growth of the region. In this paper, in addition to presenting data elucidating the extent of this impact, we will also discuss Japanese and South Korean policies of involvement in the Vietnam War (whether active or passive), in the belief that this provides evidence showing the influence of foreign policy on economic growth.
