The term "new economy", or "knowledge economy", or - as is now customary in international economic institutions, including APEC - "knowledge - based Economy" - firmly entered the scientific lexicon in the 90s of the last century. It is precisely with the development of high technologies that remove resource constraints on economic growth and ensure environmentally "clean" economic development that world experts associate the prospects for the development of the world economy. EOS also appears to be the most open - and, moreover, vital-area for global and regional interaction between countries and corporations. As applied to East Asia( VA), the "new economy" zone can become one of the engines of regional integration in the format of the East Asian community. Theoretical aspects of the problem Theoretically, the "knowledge economy" is a new factor of production in addition to the traditional ones: the means of labor, the object of labor, and labor itself .1 At the dawn of economic development, the "idea" of how to combine and use the factors of production was as "universal" as the scientific work itself. It was available for repetition due to the relative ease of mastering it. And it wasn't sold. Scientific discoveries were hidden from the competitor in the simplest way - they were simply not introduced into production. Moreover, new ideas did not lead to a decrease, but to an increase in production costs, since-due to the uncertainty of which of the innovations and how exactly it would work - they were higher than the costs of using already familiar technologies. Today, the situation is changing. In the era of the modern technological revolution, phenomena that did not exist before have emerged: trade in knowledge, patents, licenses, "know-how" and "know-uay". Today, it is not enough just to buy equipment or a production line, you still need to learn how to handle them. The major technological revolution of the late twentieth century forces us to take a fresh look at ... Read more
