Synopsis

In the two decades since the start of economic reforms in China, economic growth in the world's most populous country has been a phenomenal 9.6% per year on average. In China's Economic Transformation, Gregory Chow uses insights gained from over twenty years of teaching, travelling, working with government officials and academics, and interacting with ordinary citizens in Chinese society to address the reason for and nature of China's economic success. Combining historical-institutional and theoretical-quantitative approaches, Chow provides a penetrating and comprehensive analysis of the factors which have contributed to the transformation process. Chow's knowledge of what has happened and what is happening in China leads him to forecast an economic future with imperative worldwide implications.

Media Reviews
Gregory Chow has parlayed his knowledge of Chinese history, culture, economic development, together with his expertise in modern econometric methods into an assessment of China's economic progress since 1980 and into this new century. His book provides an authoritative interpretation of a strategic world area about which outsiders know too little, yet need to know much more. Lawrence Klein, University of Pennsylvania In China's Economic Transformation Gregory Chow brings together his insights as an economist and more than two decades of significant contact with China's economy and numerous public officials and academics. He is remarkably successful in combining historical and institutional information with numerous examples of systematic economic analysis. The economic analyses are explained in a lucid manner, making the book accessible to economists and general readers alike. D. Gale Johnson, University of Chicago Few economists know as much about China as Gregory Chow. This is an encyclopedic achievement, which may well become a standard reference. Olivier Blanchard, MIT Gregory Chow shows effectively that the powerful tools of modern economics fully apply to China, particularly if allowance is made for its special history and unique institutions. I strongly recommend this book not only to economists and students but to all persons who want to know more about the economy of a nation that is likely to become one of the leaders of this century. Gary Becker, University of Chicago Gregory Chow's book China's Economic Transformation combines economic theory and empirical evidence to fashion a rigorous and comprehensive examination of all aspects of the modern Chinese economy. I highly recommend this book as an informative introduction to the topic. James J. Heckman, University of Chicago
