A Study on the Engines of Chinese Long-term Economic Development

The University of Berkeley hosts Chancellor Hong Yinxing.

Speaker:
Chancellor Hong Yinxing, Nanjing University, China

After China became the second largest economy in the world in 2010, it faced a daunting challenge of the sustainability of its economic growth mode. In response to the challenge, China has had to search for new growth engines in this transitional global economy, including switching its development engine from external to internal, attaching greater importance to consumption and emphasizing an inclusive growth pattern.

Hong Yinxing, the chancellor of Nanjing University, and Director of the Center for Yangtze River Delta’s Socioeconomic Development, will talk on sustainable development in China.

中国经济长期发展的动力研究

中国成为世界第二大经济体后，原先的经济增长方式不可持续。中国必须在在转型中寻找经济增长新动力，包括将其发展的引擎由外转内、强化消费需求对经济增长的拉动力和由效率性增长转向公平性增长等。

Professor Hong’s academic expertise lies in theory and policy research on economic operation mechanism, economic development and macro-economy. He is the author of more than 30 books.

The talk will be in Chinese with English translation.
