PUB5330 Seminar on Selected Topics in Public Policy: Home

This book reveals how factors such as demographics, the initial stage of development in 1978, the transition away from full state ownership and central planning, the dual urban-rural society, and a decentralised governance structure have combined to shape the economy, its development and its reforms. It shows how the pragmatic and adaptive nature of China’s policymaking upends familiar perspectives and hinders simple cross-country comparisons. The book also explores crucial topics including the property market, debt accumulation and environmental challenges.

新冠疫情、中美严重分歧、甚至即将到来的史上最严重的金融危机……我们正同时面临着地缘政治、贸易、金融等多个层面的危机。这时如果我们的视野是狭隘的、线性的、机械的、片面的，我们就没有办法将这些离散化的因素、事件和大趋势建立联系，也无从发现与理解大历史的周期规律。本书分别从经济、金融、政府改革、城市发展、国际互动等主题描述和探讨中国和世界所面临的各种问题、机遇、源头及发展趋势，不仅可让读者有窥一斑而知全豹的收获，也作为决策部门可参考的分析与建议。

This book presents a unified picture of the full economic-legal system, based on results within the novel fields of "new institutional economics" and "law and economics". It is carefully argued, and written in a non-technical style, albeit with no attempts to avoid "deep" theory. It is primarily aimed at students of economics just beyond their introductory course and students of law in the middle or towards the end of their studies. It can also be of great use to both economists on a more advanced level and lawyers, looking for a thought-provoking survey of an exciting new sphere of ideas.
