The Chinese Economy: A New Transition (International Economic Association Series)

China has enjoyed a higher growth rate for a longer period than any other nation to date, but a new consensus is emerging that China is now facing a crucial turning point. This volume is unprecedented in bringing together leading economists from China and the rest of the world to analyse the sources of economic growth, examine its changing conditions for future development, and suggest desirable policy and institutional reforms. Chapters address a wide range of issues, covering not only macro and micro economic mechanisms, but also various aspects of human resource development, environmental protection, and political impact on the economy. The contributors include F. Allen, C.Bai, D. Bloom, F. Cai, R. Freeman, D. Jorgenson, J. Lou, D. H. Perkins, C. Xu, among others.
