The Chinese Economy Under Transition (Studies on the Chinese Economy)

This book consists of a number of papers presented to the Chinese Economic Association (UK) Annual Conferences in the late 1990s. They address many important issues in China's economy under transition. The book consists of three parts: industrial restructuring and enterprise reform; the rural sector - agricultural develop-ment and industrialization; and modelling transition and structural change. In addition to the analyses of specific issues provided by individual papers, themes recurring in several contribute to broader theoretical, empirical and policy literatures. Some focus on the comparative literature on transition economies of China and Eastern European and former Soviet Union countries; some apply new methodologies to the analysis of economic issues such as money demand, consumption behaviour and industrial structural change; while others focus on policy and institutional reforms. Most contributors are experienced China scholars from the United Kingdom, France, the United States of America as well as from China itself.
