Zusammenfassung:This paper develops a theoretical framework for analyzing external debt policies of developing countries and applies it to assess the cases of three Asian countries, namely Korea, the Philippines, and Thailand. The "optimal debt policy" for a developing country is characterized in the first part of the paper.

The case of Thailand, in many respects, fell in between the other two, although closer to that of Korea
