Workshop on the Impacts of a Possible Growth Slowdown in the PRC
on Asia Asian Development Bank Institute, Tokyo, Japan
November (to be confirmed) 2015
Call for Papers
The Asian Development Bank Institute, in collaboration with China & World Economy, of the Institute of World Economics and Politics, Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, invites submission of unpublished papers on the subject of ”Impacts of a Possible Growth Slowdown in the PRC on Asia”. The experience of Japan, Korea and Chinese Taiwan raises the question of whether the PRC’s economy has reached a stage where its medium or long run growth may slow down significantly. If so, this will have significant implications for growth, trade and investment of other economies.
We are looking for original research papers related to, although not limited to, the following topics:
- Factors explaining the long-term growth slowdown of major advanced economies, including, but not limited to, Japan, Korea and Chinese Taiwan, including convergence, population aging, structural distortions, trade competitiveness and globalization, drawing implications for the PRC;
- Forces explaining the past growth and current slowdown of the Chinese economy.
- Quantifying the impacts of slower Chinese growth on growth, trade, investment and employment in other Asian economies;
- Analyses of policy measures that could mitigate the PRC’s slowdown and its impacts on other economies, including assessment of the “one-belt-one-road” initiative by the PRC.
ADBI will meet the travel and accommodation costs of one author per paper. Accepted papers will be considered for a special issue of the China & World Economy and/or a book volume.
Timeframes and Submission Procedure: Contributors should submit their draft papers or substantial abstract to pmorgan@adbi.org at the latest by 31 August 2015, and completed papers by 30 September 2015.
