This course examines a number of economic sectors and policy fields by first introducing the relevant economic models to understand each area and then applying this knowledge to the case of the PRC. The approach is thematic and focuses on fields such as fiscal and monetary policy, growth and development strategies, population and employment policies, science and technology policies, and others. Economic sectors to be analysed include agriculture, heavy industry, light manufacturing, and services. The course is meant to teach students how to evaluate the Chinese government’s economic activities and answer the question of whether or not the PRC’s government is effectively managing China’s economic performance and development.
