  • Chinese History in Economic Perspective

    Thomas G Rawski, Lillian M LiBOOKChinese History in Economic…2024

    This volume marks a turning point in the study of Chinese economic history. It arose from a realization that the economic history of China—as opposed to the history of the Chinese economy—had yet to be written. Most histories of the Chinese economy, whether by Western or Chinese scholars, tend to view the economy in institutional or social terms. In contrast, the studies in this volume break new ground by systematically applying economic theory a…

  • Chinese History in Economic Perspective

    Thomas G Rawski, Lillian M LiBOOKChinese History in Economic…2024

    trate how economic history is not the same as the history of an economy, and how an economic perspective involves more than an interest in some eco nomic topic.Scholarship on China has excelled in studying the economy of China, but has barely begun to do so with a true economic perspective.The fundamental objective of this volume is to delineate and illustrate the poten tial contribution of systematically applying an economic approach to the stud…

  • Economics and the Historian

    Stephen Cullenberg, Richard Sutch et al.BOOKEconomics and the Historian2019

    These essays provide a thorough introduction to economics for historians. The authors, all eminent scholars, show how to use economic thinking, economic models, and economic methods to enrich historical research.

Scholars and teachers of history will we…

  • The Greening of China's Energy System Outpaces its Further Blackening

    Open AccessJohn A Mathews, Xin Huang et al.ARTICLEJapan focus2018

    China's green energy shift is now attracting increasing attention, as its strategic implications become clearer. In a recent article in Foreign Affairs , Amy Myers Jaffe has argued that China is effecting a “pivot” to green and clean energy that puts the country on a superior footing in international competition – particularly competition with the United States, that remains committed to its fossil fuel industries. Jaffe cites a number of statist…

  • From Divergence to Convergence

    Loren Brandt, Debin Ma et al.ARTICLEJournal of Economic Literature2014

    China's long-term economic dynamics pose a formidable challenge to economic historians. The Qing Empire (1644–1911), the world's largest national economy before 1800, experienced a tripling of population during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries with no signs of diminishing per capita income. While the timing remains in dispute, a vast gap emerged between newly rich industrial nations and China's lagging economy in the wake of the Industria…

  • China's Economy after Fifty Years

    Thomas G RawskiARTICLEInternational Journal Canada s…1999

    AS THE PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC OF CHINA CELEBRATED its fiftieth anniversary, economists look back on a remarkable kaleidoscope of events and policy shifts that, despite episodes of vast suffering and waste, have brought enormous material benefits to China's teeming masses. The economy inherited by China's new communist leaders in 1949 was overwhelmingly agrarian, ravaged by twelve years of warfare, and wracked by hyperinflation. Despite the strains imp…

    This paper begins by using a structure-conduct-performance perspective to show that partial reform improved the operation of China's state industries during the 1980s. The authors review the achievements of industries outside the state sector, emphasizing their links to the state sector. The paper focuses on key defects in the industrial system related to finance and ownership; shows how the accelerated reform agenda of the 1980s seeks to resolve…

    Open AccessGary H Jefferson, Thomas G RawskiARTICLEModern China1992Cited by: 10References: 8

    Compared with other large and populous developing nations, China shows little sign of large-scale urban unemployment. There are two main reasons for this a long-standing policy of actively discouraging rural-urban migration and the allocation of new urban labor force entrants to permanent positions in state or collective enterprises. The former policy limits the supply of urban workers below what it would be in the absence of restrictions on labo…
