This book is the result of a large-scale investigation through detailed questionnaires of China's reform process over the years 1979-87. It analyzes China's gradualist transition to a market economy, and concludes that, although the reform program has been a qualified success, further progress requires the introduction of private ownership. Both D.A. Hay and D.J. Morris approach this subject from a strong industrial organization perspective.

This book explains how policy changes affect farmers' production incentives and efficiency of resource allocation within and outside agriculture in modern China. It analyses two different development periods: Mao's period and the reforming post-Mao period. Simple econometric models are employed to examine the impact of modern inputs on land productivity of grain over time and across regions. A spatial equilibrium model is also used to test the effects of different policy alternatives on allocative efficiency and to identify the optimal spatial patterns of crop production.The book concludes that the pursuit of local self-sufficiency, lack of farmers' incentives, national resource allocation and underinvestment were the main factors restricting grain production and agricultural growth during Mao's period. Institution and price reforms aimed to increase farmers' production incentives, and market reforms aimed to improve allocative and marketing efficiency, were two important factors boosting production in the earlier stage of agricultural reforms in the 1979-84 period. Long-term tendency to undermine the role of agriculture, lack of state investment and inconsistency in market reforms explained the stagnation of grain production in the late 1980s, and still remain the major threats to sustained grain production and agricultural growth in China.

Economic Growth, Income Distribution and Poverty Reduction in Contemporary China (Routledge Studies on the Chinese Economy)

China has experienced over a quarter century of rapid economic growth, which has had a phenomenal impact on the global economy. Entering into the twenty-first century implies that China has begun a new phase of economic and social development. Yao reviews the economic development history of contemporary China from 1949 to the present, paying special attention to growth, inequality and poverty reduction. A real Chinese economic miracle should have two important features: high income growth and a fair distribution system so that poverty can be eradicated.

Although China's economy has grown very rapidly in recent decades, there are still very large differences between the economy of mainland China and the economies of Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan. For example, per capita income in Hong Kong is many, many times higher than per capita income in mainland China. This book considers the degree to which economic convergence between mainland China, Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan has occurred, and the prospects for increased convergence in the future. It considers economic integration between China and its two Special Administrative Regions (SARS), emphasising the large volume of capital flows and exports, especially from Hong Kong into China, and showing that the economies are highly integrated, despites their differences. It examines income convergence, and changes in productivity, using the same measures for both China and the two SARS, unlike most existing studies. It explores how economic reforms have been crucial to increasing convergence so far, and will continue to be in the future, and concludes by discussing the implications for policy of encouraging increased convergence.

This book explains how policy changes affect farmers' production incentives and efficiency of resource allocation within and outside agriculture in modern China, paying particular attention to the effects of technical inputs on yield and efficiency of spatial crop production pattern. Drawing experiences of agricultural development in different periods after independence and employing two different quantitative techniques, it concludes that government's long term tendency to undermine the role of agriculture, lack of state investment and the inconsistency of market reforms are three major threats to sustained grain production and agricultural growth in China.

This book is a wide-ranging and timely overview of the contemporary Chinese banking system. It charts the vast changes in Chinese banking from before China’s admission to the WTO in 2001 to more recent regulatory reform and developments in the shadow banking sector. The book begins with an economic history of the mono-banking system, and a critical discussion of reforms taken by the government in preparation for China’s entry to the WTO. The second part of the book discusses banking regulation and government policy during and after the global financial crisis in 2008-2009 and their impact on banking, including recent developments. Finally, the book concludes an empirical analysis of the impact of banking reforms on a number of important issues, including bank efficiency, capital structure, competition and financial stability, and risk taking behaviour, and a review of the relevance of shadow banking and internet banking.
