Features: "Case Studies on Institutional Change in China" is a large-scale research project initiated by the Tian'e Institute of Economics. Its purpose is to describe and reconstruct the processes of socioeconomic, political, and legal changes in Chinese society, to test and develop existing economic theories or to refine new ideas and methods, to rebuild the academic tradition of Chinese economics, to promote the academic progress of Chinese economics, and to contribute to advancing this unprecedented great transformation in Chinese society. The Tian'e Institute of Economics plans to complete 100 to 200 case studies over 5 to 10 years, conducted in phases, in batches, and published in separate volumes. The initial batch of results has been compiled into "Case Studies on Institutional Change in China" (Volume 1), which has received significant attention after publication. The second batch of case studies has also been published. This batch includes twelve projects, covering issues such as the continuation of the old system due to path dependence and the difficulty of generating new institutions, breaking path dependence to choose rational institutions, and more focus on spontaneous institutional innovation. These issues revolve around regulation and deregulation, involving various aspects of socioeconomic life. They not only reflect the diverse and complex process of transformation in Chinese society but also contain rich new economic problems and unexplored theories. This book is a collection of case studies on institutional change in China, featuring fourteen typical cases that have been studied. These cases cover all aspects of the development of the private economy, analyzing the deep-seated issues in its growth, making it a valuable reference for researchers in the private economy.
