		The term is not limited to Asian nations; in Europe, the Republic of Ireland has been called the Celtic Tiger for its rapid growth in the 1990s, while Estonia and Slovakia are recognized as the Baltic and Tatra Tigers respectively for their current high growth rates.

	Finance & Development June 1998 - Aging in the Asian Tiger Economies
		IN THE SWIRL of commentary on the Asian tigers in recent years, one facet of their longer-term prospects not often remarked upon is that their populations are aging.
		The impact begins to be felt modestly among the East Asian tigers—and, to a lesser extent, in China—by 2010.
		For China and the Southeast Asian tigers, where coverage rates of social insurance programs are less extensive and benefit rates are lower, the projected worsening of the public sectors' financial balances is much less (in the absence of policy changes broadening social insurance commitments).

	Davidson Economic Times & Review
		If the Asian miracle was going to succeed, the HPAE had to convince their constituencies of two contracts: first, that state interests should transcend individual needs so short term expenses would be sacrificed for greater long term returns, and second, that the legitimacy of authoritarian rule depended on economic growth.
		East Asia defied the traditional recipe for growth that assumed a higher savings rate was attainable if the mass of wealth was concentrated in elite circles, which had a greater tendency to save.
		East Asian prudence during the 1979 oil crisis allowed the HPAEs to avoid the debt-led growth, and the subsequent "lost decade" of the 1980s, which ravaged many Latin American economies.

	Asia - Human Resources Issues in the “Tigers” of Asia
		Asian returnees might prefer to join a foreign company or joint venture in their native country because of the higher salaries and better career opportunities available to them at home compared with those in the U.S. or Europe.
		Asian returnees over 40 years of age who have been downsized in the west or struggled with U.S. politics also often prove to be good senior managers in their home country.
		All four of the “Asian Tigers” face political uncertainties -- in Hong Kong, the transition from British to Chinese control; in South Korea, a continued military threat from North Korea; in Taiwan, the constant possibility of a direct confrontation with the People's Republic of China; and in Singapore, a highly developed country amongst "jealous" neighbors.

	East Asian financial crisis Summary
		The story of Asian currencies recently has been the story of the decline and fall or near-fall of the Asian "tigers," but their problems are by no means unique to them, and the recent crisis may be just the first of many.
		Though called the "East Asian" crisis because it originated in East Asia, its effects rippled throughout the globe and caused a global financial crisis, with major effects felt as widely as Russia, Brazil, and the United States.
		Asian countries usually run a trade deficit with Japan because the latter's economy was more than twice the size of the rest of Asia together.

		In the meantime the other East Asian countries were also growing rapidly and the term NIC was liberally applied to them so as to justify early economic discrimination against them to be applied.

		While Thailand, as one of the "East Asian tigers," was lauded for its strong economic growth during the expansion years, the country also suffered from increased levels of industrial wastewater, a dramatic rise in domestic sewage and hazardous wastes, and severe degradation of its water and coastal resources.
		Strong economic growth and the rapid industrialization of the "East Asian tigers" was both the cause and effect of huge increases in energy consumption across the region, as South Korea, Indonesia, and Malaysia all experienced similar increases in their energy consumption levels.
		In 2001, the country emitted approximately 48 million metric tons of carbon equivalent--more than twice its carbon emission level in 1990, the baseline year for the group of mostly industrialized countries that are required to reduce their greenhouse gas and carbon emissions by an average of 5.2% between 2008 and 2012.

		The four original tigers (Hong Kong, Singapore, South Korea and Taiwan) have almost joined the ranks of developed economies in terms of GDP per head (Hong Kong and Singapore are both richer than Britain).
		It is true that real exchange rates have risen in many East Asian economies over the past couple of years as a result of their links to the dollar and their inflation (which has been higher than America's).
		Indeed, there is no theoretical reason why in the longer term some other East Asian economies cannot overtake income levels in America and Europe, even as their growth rates slow, by making even better use of the latest technology.

		As he explained, Asian tigers grew as they did because they were able to mobilize physical and human resources at a mind-boggling rate.
		As for human capital, tigers made a tremendous effort to provide basic, universal education and basic health services to their population during early stages of their catch-up period.
		Tigers had quite a bit of success in improving the performance of their civil servants by 1) making recruitment and promotion merit-based and 2) making pay competitive with the private sector.

		Tigers have been used for medicinal purposes in East Asian countries for centuries and a belief in their efficacy for treating health problems is deeply rooted in national tradition.
		The tigers in zoos and circuses are almost all captive-bred, and movement of these animals for non-commercial purposes is generally legal.
		However, tigers, as well as other big cats continue to be killed because their body parts can be sold for high prices by smugglers and medicinal traders, much like rhinos, bears, and other endangered species.

	Recovery of East Asian Economies: Graziadio Business Report
		Until mid-1997, the rapid growth of the East Asian economies was widely regarded as a miracle.
		Given that the exchange rate of the tigers was tied to the dollar, and the growth rate of their economies was strong, they looked very attractive.
		The question is whether the tigers will decide to stay in the arena and compete in the free market or will be tempted to crawl back into their dens and hope for a different kind of miracle.

		Advocates of the ``Asian miracle'' theory claimed the causes were short term, and played down any structural problems.
		In its Asian Development Outlook 1997 and 1998, other than a hotchpotch of conjunctural factors most of which it avoided pinning down, it identified two common causes: the ``temporary'' plunge in prices of electronic products, and the decline in Asia's ``comparative advantage'' of low wages.
		Some tigers started to export capital, but this is no more than a multiplication of the structure of dependency around the imperialist core.
