Cultivating managers with knowledge and action through action learning
Aiming at the application of action learning in the training of management talents in engineering universities, based on the exploration of Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) Sloan School of Management for more than 20 years and that of East China University of Science and Technology (ECUST) School of Business for more than 10 years, the practice of MIT Sloan School of Management and ECUST School of Business is compared from the aspects …
Meritocracy and Autocratic Power-Sharing
This paper proposes meritocracy as a power-sharing institution in authoritarian regimes, particularly in weakly institutionalized environments. Contrary to what Enlightenment scholars believed, our evidence shows that meritocratic institutions were not uncommon in historical states and were often associated with absolute rulers. Using a formal model, we demonstrate that meritocracy benefits rulers by enabling them to co-opt high-ability agents, a…
Networks rewired
We explore how institutional designs can have unintended consequences, especially by rewiring social networks. Using archival data on the civil-service examinations in historical China, we argue that the enforcement of a regional quota system in 1427 reshaped group boundaries along native place, turned emotional affinities for one’s hometown into political stakes, and reinforced the influence of native place ties among political elites. Analyzing…
A Longevity Mechanism of Chinese Absolutism
A counterpart of what is known as "European exceptionalism"—political stability and institutional arrangement that enabled modern economic growth and political development—is a "Chinese anomaly." This anomaly takes the form of a sharp contrast with premodern Europe: Chinese imperial rulers stayed in power longer than their European counterparts, but this political stability was accompanied by a high level of institutional stasis. In this article,…
Does Ethnicity Pay? Evidence from Overseas Chinese FDI in China
Most of the economic analyses of the overseas Chinese network focus on trade and investment flows at the country level. In this paper, we analyze the effects of the ethnic Chinese network at the firm level. Contrary to the conventional wisdom, we find that ethnic Chinese FDI firms in China in fact underperform nonethnic Chinese FDI firms. We also find that the performance of ethnic Chinese firms deteriorates over time. We present evidence consist…
How Did China Take Off
There are two prevailing perspectives on how China took off. One emphasizes the role of globalization-foreign trade and investments and special economic zones; the other emphasizes the role of internal reforms, especially rural reforms. Detailed documentary and quantitative evidence provides strong support for the second hypothesis. To understand how China's economy took off requires an accurate and detailed understanding of its rural development…
The Politics of China’s Path
Responding to Andreas, Huang Yasheng offers a different chronology for the rural economy’s decline, and stresses the direct impact of political choices made in Beijing on the pace and direction of capitalist development
Political Decentralization and Inflation
One possible political determinant of macroeconomic instability scholars have explored at length is decentralization, but cross-national research measuring political decentralization in terms of constitutional federalism has produced mixed evidence regarding its effects on inflation. Conceptualizing political decentralization in terms of governing political party decentralization but acknowledging the challenges of cross-national data collection,…
Selling China
In this book, Yasheng Huang makes a provocative claim: the large absorption of foreign direct investment (FDI) by China is a sign of some substantial weaknesses in the Chinese economy. The primary benefits associated with China's FDI inflows are concerned with the privatization functions supplied by foreign firms, venture capital provisions to credit-constrained private entrepreneurs, and promotion of interregional capital mobility. Huang argues …

Between two coordination failures
Since 1985, China has attempted to re-structure its automotive industry through an industrial policy approach closely modelled on that of Korean government in the 1970s. While the growth of the automotive industry has been impressive, government's consolidation attempt has been a failure. The size of the Chinese firm is small in a sector with well-known economy of scale (EOS) features and even the largest firm operates below minimum efficient sca…
Managing Chinese Bureaucrats
Conventional analysis of government typically focuses on ‘politics’, that is, interests, conflicts or personalities. But governing a country is not only a task of successfully governing its people but also an administrative task of managing subordinate officials. This is a very relevant issue in a country such as China, with a massive bureaucracy. The top ‘managers’ of the country – some 30 national leaders – make policies but also manage a large…
Political Institutions and Fiscal Reforms in China
The Chinese central government has more economic resources than might be thought. Beijing has forsaken some fiscal authority, but exerts considerable influence through personnel appointments and information control
Hong Kong under Chinese Rule
What will the reversion of Hong Kong mean to the people of Hong Kong - and the rest of us - who invest, trade, and shop there? Over the last fifty years Hong Kong has served as a refuge from those who fled communism in China. It became the greatest entrepot and financial center on the Asian mainland. A stunning percentage of the world's trade passed through its magnificent harbor. The focus of this book is on the impact Chinese control is likely …

Central-local relations in china during the reform era
The statistical agency in China's bureaucratic system A Comparison with the former Soviet Union
Although Chinese statistics are widely used in economic analysis, very little is known about the institutions and procedures involved in statistical collection. This essay focuses on the institutional aspects of the specialized statistical agency in China—the State Statistical Bureau (SSB)—and draws inferences about its operations by comparing the Chinese and Soviet statistical agencies. The article finds considerable differences between the Chin…

Information, Bureaucracy, and Economic Reforms in China and the Soviet Union
The argument in this essay can be reduced to the following form: the better a planning system is in terms of central planning techniques, the less likely it is to depart from central planning. The author proposes an information approach to explain why China launched economic reforms at a relatively earlier stage of development than did the Soviet Union. The claim is twofold regarding the connections between initiation of reform and information fl…
