The Chinese Economic Transformation: Views from Young Economists

by Ligang Song, Yixiao Zhou and Luke Hurst (editors)

About this book

This collection examines changes in China’s economy through research on firms, workers, markets and financial institutions. Contributors explore the conditions surrounding the transition towards a higher-income economy and the problems that arise when capital, credit and employment opportunities are unevenly distributed.

Chapters address corporate debt, monetary policy, rural employment, e-commerce, enterprise innovation and finance for smaller businesses. Further studies consider trade disputes, labour income, overseas investment and Chinese state capital in the iron ore industry. Empirical analysis and economic modelling sit alongside discussions of policy choices, with numerous tables, figures, references and an index.
