Through analyses of non-traditional exporters at the macro, microeconomic, and industrial levels, Pietrobelli (economics, U. of Tor Vergata, Rome) represents Chile's economic performance from 1974- 88 as a test case of market liberalization based on neoclassical principles. In the context of a dynamic concept of comparative advantage and its relevance for developing countries (as vs. conventional theories), the author contrasts their successes with the achievements of the East Asian "tigers," and considers policy implications of such a technological capabilities approach. The survey questionnaire and graphics on economic indicators augment the text. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
