Book China s Growing Role in World Trade

Download or read book China s Growing Role in World Trade written by Robert C. Feenstra and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2010-03-10 with total page 603 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In less than three decades, China has grown from playing a negligible role in international trade to being one of the world's largest exporters, a substantial importer of raw materials, intermediate outputs, and other goods, and both a recipient and source of foreign investment. Not surprisingly, China's economic dynamism has generated considerable attention and concern in the United States and beyond. While some analysts have warned of the potential pitfalls of China's rise—the loss of jobs, for example—others have highlighted the benefits of new market and investment opportunities for US firms. Bringing together an expert group of contributors, China's Growing Role in World Trade undertakes an empirical investigation of the effects of China's new status. The essays collected here provide detailed analyses of the microstructure of trade, the macroeconomic implications, sector-level issues, and foreign direct investment. This volume's careful examination of micro data in light of established economic theories clarifies a number of misconceptions, disproves some conventional wisdom, and documents data patterns that enhance our understanding of China's trade and what it may mean to the rest of the world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The new edition of a comprehensive overview of the modern Chinese economy, revised to reflect the end of the “miracle growth” period. This comprehensive overview of the modern Chinese economy by a noted expert on China's economic development offers a quality and breadth of coverage not found in any other English-language text. In The Chinese Economy, Barry Naughton provides both a broadly focused introduction to China's economy since 1949 and original insights based on his own extensive research. This second edition has been thoroughly revised to reflect a decade of developments in China's economy, notably the end of the period of “miracle growth” and the multiple transitions it now confronts—demographic, technological, macroeconomic, and institutional. Coverage of macroeconomic and financial policy has been significantly expanded. After covering endowments, legacies, economic systems, and general issues of economic structure, labor, and living standards, the book examines specific economic sectors, including agriculture, industry, technology, and foreign trade and investment. It then treats financial, macroeconomic, and environmental issues. The book covers such topics as patterns of growth and development, including population growth and the one-child family policy; the rural and urban economies, including rural industrialization and urban technological development; incoming and outgoing foreign investment; and environmental quality and the sustainability of growth. The book will be an essential resource for students, teachers, scholars, business practitioners, and policymakers. It is suitable for classroom use for undergraduate or graduate courses.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the last two decades, China's western inland region has largely been left out of the nation's economic boom. While its 355-million population accounts for 28% and its land area for 71% of China's total, the region's share of the national GDP is under 20%. Since 1999, Beijing has implemented the West China Development Program to boost the region's growth. To study the major domestic issues and the global implications of this program, the University of Victoria's Centre for Asia-Pacific Initiatives organized and hosted a multidisciplinary international conference on March 6?8, 2003. This volume of papers presented at the conference offers perspectives on the issues by leading experts of diversified academic disciplines from China, Canada, the US, and other countries.

Book Urbanization and Urban Governance in China

Download or read book Urbanization and Urban Governance in China written by Lin Ye and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-11-29 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the process of urbanization and the profound challenges to China’s urban governance. Economic productivity continues to rise, with increasingly uneven distribution of prosperity and accumulation of wealth. The emergence of individual autonomy including demands for more freedom and participation in the governing process has asked for a change of the traditional top-down control system. The vertical devolution between the central and local states and horizontal competition among local governments produced an uneasy political dynamics in Chinese cities. Many existing publications analyze the urban transformation in China but few focuses on the governance challenges. It is critical to investigate China’s urbanization, paying special attention to its challenges to urban governance. This edited volume fills this gap by organizing ten chapters of distinctive urban development and governance issues.

Book Institutions  Goals  Policies And Analytics In Economic Development

Download or read book Institutions Goals Policies And Analytics In Economic Development written by Solomon I Cohen and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2024-07-09 with total page 524 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The field of Development Economics (DE) has overstretched over time with risks of becoming shallow. There is a need for the compartmentalization of DE that focuses on simplification, oversight, productivity and relevance. This volume is a handbook in development economics with a compartmentalized perspective. It makes use of case study applications, both recent and over the last few decades. Next to 2 introductory chapters that elaborate on the development regions, the book falls in five parts.The first part, consisting of two chapters, displays structural/system changes in the development regions, examines institutions that discourage/promote development, and applies institutional modelling to related case studies of land reform in India and Chile.The second part, consisting of two chapters, takes the courageous step of discussing, measuring and posting the twin development goals of growth with redistribution as the primary development goals, and analysing their trade-offs for major countries in the six development regions. Secondary development goals are important but they correlate with the primary goals, and are considered as conditional.The third part, consisting of eight chapters, contains applications on multi-sector development policies. The applications use the Social Accounting Matrix and related economy wide modelling. They highlight alternative policies to achieve the development goals of growth and redistribution in Pakistan, Indonesia, Korea, UAE, Nepal, Sudan, Suriname and other countries.The fourth part, consisting of six chapters, examines human resource development and policies in the areas of labor market information systems, labor market adjustments, manpower forecasts, earnings profiles, educational plans, and intergenerational mobility, with case studies related to Pakistan, Indonesia, Colombia, Korea, Ethiopia.The fifth and final part, consisting of two chapters, focuses on world development and global governance; in particular the persistent income disparities at the global level in spite of the strengthened positions of the development regions in the world economy, the consequences of shifting dominance for world governance, the evaluation of the G-20, and a proposed more representative world governance. Throughout all chapters special attention is devoted to introducing and applying analytical methods that have proven to be fundamental in development economics.

Book China s Logic  The Balance Development

Download or read book China s Logic The Balance Development written by Lixing Zou and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2017-10-10 with total page 506 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The law of balance is not just a motivating power but also serves the purpose of development. How did human society develop in a balanced manner in history? How is China's Modernization impacted by the law of equilibrium? How does the law of balance affect China's economic and trade relations with other countries?This book attempts to answer these questions and more. It applies the balance law methodology to systematically analyze major factors influencing the sustainable development of the Chinese economy and society, and to discuss the balanced way of thinking, market credit, innovation energy and international collaboration that boost sustainable development. While the theoretical system of socialism with Chinese characteristics needs a balanced development perspective, solving the problem of imbalance requires a balanced approach as well as a balanced interaction between man, nature and society, which is the key factor for economic development in the 21st century.

Book Specialization and Adjustment during the Growth of China and India

Download or read book Specialization and Adjustment during the Growth of China and India written by Daniel Lederman and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2007 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: This paper examines the extent to which the growth of China and India in world markets is affecting the patterns of trade specialization in Latin American economies. The authors construct Vollrath's measure of revealed comparative advantage by 3-digit ISIC sector, country, and year. This measure accounts for both imports and exports. The empirical analyses explore the correlation between the revealed comparative advantage of Latin America and the two Asian economies. Econometric estimates suggest that the specialization pattern of Latin A-with the exception of Mexico-has been moving in opposite direction of the trade specialization pattern of China and India. Labor-intensive sectors (both unskilled and skilled) probably have been negatively affected by the growing presence of China and India in world markets, while natural resource and scientific knowledge intensive sectors have probably benefited from China and India's growth since 1990.

Book The Rise of China and Structural Changes in Korea and Asia

Download or read book The Rise of China and Structural Changes in Korea and Asia written by Takatoshi Ito and published by Edward Elgar Publishing. This book was released on 2010-01-01 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book brings together studies conducted by researchers in East Asian countries who seek to better understand the impact of China s rise and the consequent policy challenges. The expert contributors illustrate that the rise of China and its integration with the rest of the world is one of the most important developments in the global economy. Over the past thirty years or so, China s economy has grown at nearly ten percent per annum with the expansion of the modern, export-oriented industrial sector, to become the third largest economy in the world and the second largest in trade. This book reviews the economic growth of East Asian countries since the 1990s and the various impacts that the rise of China has had on these countries. In particular, it addresses policy challenges faced in coping with the rise of China and maintaining economic growth. This timely book will strongly appeal to academics and researchers focusing on East Asia and China as well as those interested in international trade, development and economic growth.

Book China s Economic Revolution

Download or read book China s Economic Revolution written by Alexander Eckstein and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1977-05-27 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Professor Eckstein's book is a study of China's efforts to achieve rapid modernization of its economy within a socialist framework. Eckstein begins with an examination of economic development in pre-Communist China, specifically focusing on the resources and liabilities inherited by the new regime in 1949 and their effects on development policies. He then analyses the economic objectives of the Communist leadership - narrowing income disparities, maintaining full employment without inflation, and achieving rapid industrialization - and argues that the implementation of these goals required a potent ideology capable of providing a strong faith and motivational force for the mass mobilization of resources. In discussing the methods used by the government to achieve its aims, Eckstein makes a thorough evaluation of China's general framework for economic planning, particularly in regard to the distribution and pricing of farm products and the allocation of resources in the industrial sector. The author also evaluates the radical institutional changes in property relations and in economic organization in the People's Republic of China.

Book China and Global Governance

Download or read book China and Global Governance written by Peng Bo and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-04-28 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book proposes a new concept of “International Leadership with Chinese Characteristics” (ILCC) to interpret China’s role in global governance. The author illustrates how the concept of ILCC is built on the basis of the discussion of Chinese political culture and Chinese worldview of international relations and develops a four-step interpretive process as a guidance for conducting the empirical analysis of the ILCC. The book also shows how Chinese elites conceptually construct and practically implement the ILCC in four case studies – G20, BRICS, Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO), and Belt and Road Initiative (BRI)
