Understand the Chinese Economy

Author: Zhang Jun
Publisher:
Publish Date: 2007-01-01
Features: The author has recently developed a strong interest in empirical political economy and has begun using this perspective to explain major theoretical frameworks, such as what determines China's economic growth. The author prefers concepts like "local governments competing for growth" and "government governance" to attempt to explain China's economic growth and the growth differences between China and India. Since the author's research primarily focuses on China's economy and most of these economic essays are critiques and explanations of various aspects of China's economy, the author ultimately decided to title the book "Understanding China's Economy." For the convenience of reading, the author has broadly categorized these articles into "Current Priorities," "Ways of Growth," "Economic Thinking," "National Affairs," "Economic Questions," and "Speeches." However, on the whole, these writings are reflections and observations recorded by the author as he reads the "big book" of China's economy. These texts can be seen as footnotes to the author's process of researching China's economy.
