| Upcoming event related to The Economy of China September 22nd: London, UK -- Chatham House seminar on "The Economy of China: the role of institutional reforms." The seminar will draw on my latest book, The Economy of China, which argues that institutional reforms -- formal and informal -- have underpinned much of China's remarkable growth in the past 30 years. The book also analyses the post-crisis world economy and why China must undertake further institution development in order to sustain its growth, which has beneficial effects in helping to re-balance the unsustainable global macroeconomic imbalances. Recent activities "Re-balancing China and the World," invited paper at "China in the World" Conference on Chinese Policy Reform jointly organised by the Stanford Center for International Development (SCID), National Center for Economic Research at Tsinghua University, and the National Institute for Fiscal Studies at Tsinghua University, held at Tsinghua University, Beijing, China, 24-25 March 2011.
