Summary. In recent years, a substantial number of studies of Thailand’s economic growth experience have been published. While they differ in the details, some consistent themes do emerge. Most of the studies argue that, in common with other high-growth economies of East Asia, Thailand’s economic advancement has been dominated by exceptionally strong rates of capital formation. The contribution of improvements in TFP is generally found to be modest, but this is an area of some variation among the research reports. The divergent results can be traced in turn to two major issues. First, there are large differences among the studies in the extent of adjustment of the labor input for improvements in educational and skill quality. Those studies that do incorporate a measure of changes in labor quality show extraordinary large improvements. I remain puzzled about the precise source of those gains because Thailand is normally perceived as having achieved only average improvements in educational attainment.
