Description:
The China Economy Yearbook annually combines the research findings of three diverse generations of renowned economists. This research started in 1991 when it became a key subject for the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences (CASS) and was funded by the State Council Premier’s Fund. The most prestigious and authoritative academic research organ in China, CASS, at that time established a research group to focus on “analysis and forecast of China’s economy” at the beginning and end of every year, and to release an authoritative research report entitled The China Economy Yearbook (Blue Book of Economy in Chinese). This research group gathered dozens of renowned economists from research institutes of CASS including the Institute of Quantitative and Technical Economics, the Institute of Finance and Trade Economics, the Institute of Economics, and the Institute of Rural Development, as well as from Tsinghua University, Peking University, Jilin University, and other major universities throughout the country. Liu Guoguang, Wang Luolin, Li Jingwen, Liu Shucheng and Wang Tongsan successively served as team leader for the project. Starting in 2006, responsibility for this research now lies with the newly established Institute of Economics at CASS. Starting with the 2007 edition of The China Economy Yearbook (designated as Volume 2 in the English version), vice president of CASS and director of the CASS Institute of Economics, Professor Chen Jiagui, will be chief editor of the yearbook.
