Features: This book is an extended research outcome of the major project "Research on the Development Strategy and Policies of China's Tertiary Industry" under the National Social Science Research Fund and a research achievement of the Innovation Base Project of the "985 Engineering" at Sun Yat-sen University. It is an outstanding academic monograph on the development of China's tertiary industry, written by the renowned Chinese expert on the tertiary industry, Professor Li Jiangfan, and his postgraduate students (master's and doctoral) and young teachers after more than ten years of scientific research. Based on the fundamental principles of tertiary industry economics and with access to domestic and foreign literature on the tertiary industry, the book comprehensively employs scientific methods such as qualitative and quantitative analysis, normative and empirical analysis to systematically study important issues in China's tertiary industry development, including its foundational theories, supply, demand, structure, regional distribution, temporal sequence, policies, institutions, and aggregate demand. The book consists of 9 chapters, covering: An Overview of the Development of China's Tertiary Industry, Research on Supply Factors Driving the Growth of China's Tertiary Industry, Research on Demand Factors Driving the Growth of China's Tertiary Industry, Research on the Internal Structure of China's Tertiary Industry, Regional Research on the Development of China's Tertiary Industry, Temporal Sequence Research on the Development of China's Tertiary Industry, Policy Research on the Development of China's Tertiary Industry, Institutional Research on the Development of China's Tertiary Industry, and Aggregate Demand Research on the Tertiary Industry. The book adopts scientific research methods with strong empirical, dynamic, and forward-looking characteristics, conducting a systematic and comprehensive study of China's tertiary industry development. It proposes innovative, scientific, systematic, and feasible development concepts, quantitative models, implementation strategies, and specific countermeasures for China's tertiary industry. The book achieves breakthroughs in revealing the quantitative laws of the development of China's and foreign tertiary industries and in establishing mathematical models for the economic operation of the tertiary industry. It holds significant theoretical and practical implications for accelerating the development of China's tertiary industry and will have a positive impact on scientific decision-making regarding the development of the tertiary industry in China.
