| Summary/Abstract |
This paper argues that the success of Thailand’s export-oriented automotive industry was based on three factors: first, the substantial public investment in productivity-raising port facilities and related infrastructure in the 1990s that constituted the Eastern Seaboard economic corridor; second, exchange rate depreciation that accompanied the 1997–98 Asian Financial Crisis. Jointly, these two factors made manufacturing production for export more profitable. The third was a combination of two key policy changes adopted by the Thai government shortly after the Crisis and partly in response to it — removing restrictions on foreign ownership and abolition of local content requirements.

| Summary/Abstract |
As Thailand has industrialized, successive Thai governments have become increasingly interested in assisting agricultural producers and processors. But the export orientation of Thai agriculture has limited the scope for protection policy as a means of influencing domestic commodity prices. This paper uses comparisons between the prices of agricultural commodities in domestic and international markets as a means of studying the magnitudes of these interventions. Thailand is unusual in that except for the cases documented in this paper, assistance to rural people has primarily taken the form of direct transfers and subsidized loans, rather than interventions in agricultural commodity markets.
