A tiger economy is the economy of a country which undergoes rapid economic growth, usually accompanied by an increase in the standard of living.〔A definition of Tiger Economy is provided by the Macmillan Online Dictionary, available (here )〕 The term was originally used for the Four Asian Tigers (South Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Singapore) as tigers are important in Asian symbolism, which also inspired the Tiger Cub Economies (Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, and the Philippines). The Asian Tigers also inspired other economies later on; the Anatolian Tigers (certain Turkish cities) in the 1980s, the Gulf Tiger (Dubai) in the 1990s, the Celtic Tiger (Republic of Ireland) in 1995-2000, the Baltic tiger (Baltic states) in 2000-2007, and the Tatra Tiger (Slovakia) in 2002-2007.〔See this essay by Michal Hvorecký for an example of the term applied to Slovakia - (The End of the Economic Miracle )〕 For emerging economies in Africa, the term ''lion economy'' is used as an analogy.〔http://www.economist.com/node/21541008〕 Countries considered to be "lion economies" are South Africa, Morocco, Algeria, Botswana, Egypt, Mauritius and Tunisia〔http://www.theguardian.com/business/2010/jun/09/morocco-southafrica〕 The term 'wolf economy' is used to describe Mongolia's rapidly growing economy.〔http://ganhuyag.com/#!/wolf-economy〕 ==See also== * Economic miracle * Tiger Cub Economies 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「tiger economy」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
