This thesis aims to better understand China’s structural change and productivity growth in recent decades. In the first chapter, I study the impact of infrastructure, i.e, highway construction, on China’s participation in Global Value Chains(GVCs). To guide my empirical exercise, I incorporate within-country geography into a quantitative trade model featuring sequential production. The model shows that a city’s proximity to domestic markets increases its participation in GVCs, while a city’s proximity to foreign markets may reduce its participation in GVCs. This paper empirically evaluates how China’s ambitious highway construction during the period between 2000 and 2006 determined its own participation in GVCs. In the second chapter, I study the impact of knowledge import on the produc-tivity growth of Chinese manufacturing firms. Consistent with the prediction of the model, knowledge import in skill-intensive industry has a stronger impact on manufacturing firms’ productivity growth.La tesis se propone conocer mejor el cambio estructural de China y el crecimiento de su productividad en las últimas décadas. En el primer capítulo, se estudia el impacto de la infraestructura (por ejemplo la construccón de carreteras) en la participación de China en las Cadenas Globales de Valor (CGV). Para ello se propone un ejercicio empírico que incorpora las diferencias geográficas del país, en un modelo cuantitativo de comercio, caracterizado por su producción secuencial. Los resultados indican que la proximidad que tenga una ciudad con los mercados internos, aumentará su participación en las CGV, mientras que la cercanía con mercados los internacionales la reduciría. Este capítulo evalua empíıricamente cómo la ambiciosa construcción de carreteras en China durante el períıodo comprendido entre 2000 y 2006, determinó su propia participación en las CGV. En el segundo capítulo, se estudia el impacto de la importación de conocimiento sobre el crecimiento de la productividad de las empresas manufactureras chinas. En consonancia con las predicciones del modelo, se constata que la importación de conocimiento exhibido por la industria basada en el conocimiento, tiene un mayor impacto en el crecimiento de la productividad de las empresas manufactureras.

Approved for public release; distribution is unlimitedLike Japan in the 1970s, the People’s Republic of China is currently facing economic growth measured in double-digit numbers. As both countries have faced, and continue to face, energy resource scarcity to feed their economic growth, they have reached out to the world to get these resources. How did Japan and how does today’s China ensure access to needed energy resources like oil and gas? How can these efforts be viewed according to international relations theory? Both countries use oil-producing companies, financial/development aid, and strong government support directly to domestic companies and within accompanying policies and negotiations to support their companies. The Japanese government tapped economic growth to become a global economic power, but is China more interested in using economic growth to maintain the ruling party’s power and the government itself? In terms of international relations theory, Japan and China show a realist approach in feeding their energy hunger, with the difference that Japan was and still is much more integrated into a variety of international organizations. This difference shows a bit of a liberal-institutional approach, but with realist goals set by the state. Although this thesis makes this comparison and applies international relations theory for a better insight into the economic development and long-term goals of Japan and China, it cannot specifically predict China’s future relationship with resource-rich countries and the international community.

Texto completoResumen
This dissertation aims to present the reasons why China has become in the last years one of the most relevant investors in the semiconductor industry at a global level. The analysis is conducted taking into account the variations in this extremely important and changing emerging market and that will probably drive China to overcome the USA in its leading position. The flow of Chinese mergers and acquisitions (M&A) that involved Europe and the USA in the recent years is strictly related to the semiconductors industry, since M&A are relevant strategic investments for the growth in this sector. The investigation, therefore, is carried out through three parts which are useful to understand causes and effects brought by these investments and to forecast the future trends and involvements. The analysis will start from an overview on the global semiconductor market, describing its history, features and segmentation, and will be further conducted focusing on China’s role in the semiconductor industry. In particular, will be examined the policies as well as the strategies undertook by the government to support the industry, including the M&A. In the last chapter the focus will be on a case study: the acquisition of the Italian semiconductor company LFoundry, by the Chinese leading company in semiconductor SMIC. The analysis of the case study serves as a model to show how an acquisition made of win-win cooperation between a Chinese and an Italian company can be a successful strategy of growth in the semiconductor industry.

China's demographic transition will create great difficulty in continuing the scale of the economic development seen over the last thirty years. This difficulty will be experienced through the costs of the demographic detour, which began during the Great Leap Forward and was then magnified through the birth limiting campaigns up to and including the One-Child Policy. While the skewing of the dependency ratio over the last thirty years resulted in significant contributions to Chinas economic development, this has reached a limit where the unborn laborers will present a strain on development. This strain will be present in the form of a shrinking and rapidly aging labor pool resulting in a decrease in innovation and productivity as well as an overhaul to thousands of years of tradition of doing business through familial ties. This will all be culminated in the testing of an already failing pension system as China experiences the transition from the demographic stage of a slowly growing population to post-transition.

This thesis studies the impact of labor markets on economic growth in both developed and developing countries and China's urbanization, by formalizing dual labor market characteristics and China's Hukou system in two theoretical models. The first is a unified growth model in an open economy environment that captures dual labor market characteristics. The mechanism involves economic growth driven by capital accumulation in the country with Lewisian labor market leading to increasing labor participation at a near constant wage. The model shows that surplus labor plays a critical role in explaining different economic growth paths and structural changes in developing and developed countries, such as China and the US. The second is a dynamic general equilibrium model with endogenous rural-urban migration to analyze the provision of rural and urban government services in China, with special emphasis on the role of the household registration (Hukou) system in shaping its urbanization process. It argues that China’s urban bias policy, which is enabled by the Hukou system restricting rural-urban migration, did not necessarily reduce economic efficiency, rather it might have only raised urban welfare at the expense of rural residents. As the Hukou system also ties people to particular geographical locations, our model argues that China's continuous bias towards coastal and big cities has started to cause economic inefficiency as well as inequality. It suggests that progressive Hukou reform reducing barriers to cross-region migration would improve economic efficiency and welfare.

Globalisation has become a significant economic phenomenon since the late nineteenth century and foreign direct investment (FDI) has been an important driving force of globalization. FDI has become an important competitive strategy for enterprises to invest all over the world to access markets, technology, resources and talent. On the other hand, host governments consider FDI as crucial to the development of their economies, exports, employment opportunities, and competitiveness. China, in this increasingly competing world economy, has absorbed enormous amounts of FDI inflows since the economic reforms introduced in 1978. This thesis studies FDI and its impact in China during the period ranging from 1978 to 2005. The thesis makes valuable contributions to the theory of FDI as well as significant contributions to empirical analysis of the impact of FDI in China. It presents extension to various FDI theories and the impact of FDI on economic development. The thesis also empirically analyses FDI location-specific determinants and the impact of FDI on domestic investment, income distribution, consumption and tourism in China by using stationary multi-equation system of time series models together with data for the period 1978 to 2005. The results show that FDI has played an important role in the Chinese economy but does come with both benefits and costs. The findings of the thesis suggest that China should develop appropriate and effective economic development policies and regulations to ensure positive FDI externalities...Thesis (PhD Doctorate)

Studying the internal migration of China since 1949, the overall effect of migration on economic performance has had a discernible impact both positive and negative at different times. There are two distinct aspects the actual migration patterns and their relative effects on the economy; and the domestic policies enacted by the PRC that directly prompted movements whether intentional or not. This thesis has led to the conclusion that it was the push and pulls aspect or opposing forces of domestic policies and the migration of the people and labor throughout this entire time period that helped shape economic successes and failures in China. This push and pull aspect is the push by the PRC to control (via domestic policies) migration patterns or urban growth and the pull (internal migration) of businesses and firms for relatively cheap labor that drive internal migration. This in my opinion is the most important aspect in this thesis. The impact that of circular cause and effect is, in turn, a crucial basis of either the economic successes or failures seen throughout the time periods examined in this thesis.

Texto completoResumen
Cette thèse explore l’interaction entre les changements structurels, la croissance économique et les disparités régionales dans la Chine post-réforme, en apportant des résultats empiriques au niveau provincial. Les résultats montrent que la forte croissance économique de la Chine s’est accompagnée d’un changement structurel significatif, mais que la direction de ce changement a été différente d’une province à l’autre. Par conséquent, les gains de la réallocation du travail, mesurés par le bonus en productivité, sont improportionnellement répartis entre les provinces, ce qui explique le faible bonus structurel au niveau national. Les trajectoires des changements structurels au niveau provincial s’ajustent d’elle-même plutôt que de dépendre de l’histoire, car la dynamique sectorielle entre les provinces est d’autant plus expliquée par l’hétérogénéité de la TFP sectorielle que par l’effet d’inertie de structure industriel. En outre, ces changements structurels divergents entre les provinces ont accéléré la convergence régionale en termes de revenu par tête, en particulier celle de la convergence conditionnelle. En revanche, la croissance de la TFP sectorielle a ralenti le processus de rattrapage pour les provinces en retard, tant de manière inconditionnelle que conditionnelleThis thesis investigates the interaction between structural change, economic growth, and regional disparities in post-reform China, providing empirical evidence at the provincial level. The results show that while China’s rapid economic growth has been accompanied by significant structural change, the direction of this change has been uneven across provinces. As a result, the benefits of labour reallocation in terms of productivity gains are unevenly distributed across regions, leading to a small structural bonus at the aggregate national level. The trajectory of structural change at the provincial level is self-adjusting rather than history-dependent, as the sectoral dynamics across provinces are explained more by the heterogeneity in sectoral TFP than by the inertia effect of the industrial structure. Moreover, the divergent structural change across provinces has accelerated regional convergence in terms of per capita income, especially conditional convergence. Meanwhile, within-sector TFP growth has slowed down the catching-up process for lagged provinces,both unconditionally and conditionally

EconomicsPh.D.
This dissertation focuses on assessing the sustainability of China’s long-term economic growth. The evaluation is performed, first, by examining economic and social issues from the past thirty years that shape China to where it is now, and second, by taking an empirical approach in understanding what factors are critical to China’s economic growth. The empirical model framework consists of three blocks representing the main areas of development in China: economic growth, health and environmental development, and the model is estimated with two-stage least squares methodology. We identify strong, simultaneous feedback between economic growth and health development. The estimation results show that continued improvements in the health status of Chinese workers are important to support stronger economic growth in China. Environmental stress is detrimental to China’s long-term health status, which indirectly reduces the country’s long-term economic potential. We test the robustness of our model, and confirm that, the proposed model setup produce a set of forecast values that are closer to the actual values than a model without health- and environmental-related variables.

This dissertation examines the performance of China's pulp and paper industry under environmental regulations, and reflects on the implementation of the regulations, and especially on market-based instruments. The dissertation includes two empirical chapters: one uses a frontier production function model to examine the impact of China's environmental policy on paper mills' environmental as well as efficiency performance; the other derives shadow prices for pollutants for the same group of mills, based on a distance function model, to examine the efficiency performance of current pollution control policy and the degree of regional variation in the policy enforcement. The basic conclusion from the first empirical chapter is that the economic instrument-pollution levy system-can be an effective tool in inducing polluting mills to abate their pollution, and there is no strong evidence that the instrument adversely affected the mills' efficiency performance. The reason that the pollution problem is not lessening over time can be largely attributed to allocative inefficiency and regional disparity in policy enforcement, as is demonstrated by the second empirical chapter. These results should point future policy in the direction of better enforcement and/or the trial of a tradable permit system.Ph. D.

Texto completoResumen
How important is the financial market for economic growth? It can be argued that from the supply perspective that a well-functioning stock market boosts economic growth by lowering the cost of the firm to access public funds for new investment opportunities to expand business and production. Another view suggests that from the demand perspective that stock markets create a wealth effect on consumption for economic growth. In turn, the growth induces more demand for financial services and so the growth of the stock market. Both the supply and the demand argument imply a positive relationship between the stock market and the economy. Exactly how the behaviour of investors in trading stocks on a stock market can affect the performance of the firm is unclear. The study of this question helps to understand how stock trading activities can affect manufacturing production and so the growth of an economy from the perspective of the micro structure of a market. China as the largest emerging economy in the world has experienced the fastest growth of the economy and rapid development of its stock market over the last 30 years. It provides us with an excellent case to study the question on how the momentum of paper trading of shares can be transmitted to the growth of industry and firms which is a determined part of a real economy. The thesis takes China to study the question in an attempt to discover the micro mechanism of transmission as its key contribution to the existing literature on the study of the stock market effect on economic growth. The thesis employs a fixed effects model to estimate longitudinal firm-level data comprising 2233 heterogeneous Chinese listed firms over the period 2005-2015. In our estimation, it finds how stronger stock-trading performance can induce an increase in external funding of the firm. It then shows how the improvement in a firm's financing ability will turn to improvements in inter-firm reallocations of resources towards the more productive firms. However, the presence of equity over-trading appears to hinder the growth of firm business, possibly because the negative externalities of the speculative trading outweigh the effect of the positive externalities, such as excessive volatility that creates high risk of stock investment. Overall, empirically, the thesis establishes a micro-economic structure of transmission from stock trading activities to the growth of the firm. The structure explains the importance of stock markets on economic growth from the supply perspective of an economy.

Texto completoResumen
From 1978 to 2007, China has gone through 30 years of exciting economic development and social changes. In this thirty-year period, China's gross domestic product (GDP) increased from 0.36 trillion RMB to about 24 trillion RMB in current prices, or a 14 fold increase in constant prices. On a per capita basis, real GDP increased over ten fold during the same period. It is predicted that China will overtake Germany to become the world's third largest economy in 2007 or 2008. In 2006, China became the world's third largest exporter, moving from the 23rd place in the world ranking in 1978. By 2010, China will become the world's largest exporter, overtaking both the US and Germany. From 1994, China has been the largest host country of foreign direct investment in the developing countries and the second largest in the world after the US. Over 1979-2006, China accumulated a FDI stock of $692 billion. The total trade volume in 2006 was $1.76 trillion, generating a surplus of $177 billion. By November 2007, China had accumulated a foreign exchange reserve of $1.45 trillion, which was the largest in the world. The emergence of China has probably induced the most profound impact on the global social, economic and political order in world development history as the momentum of China's economic growth is predicted to last for at least another two to three decades. Economic development in China over the last thirty years can be divided into two main stages. The first stage was from 1978 to 1991, when the economic development strategy was characterized by institutional reforms in agriculture and industry. Agricultural reform began with the introduction of the rural household production responsibility System in 1978. By 1984, rural reform had made remarkable achievements in grain output, farm income, land productivity, and above ail, poverty reduction. The success of agricultural reform provided a solid foundation for the reforms in the industrial and urban sectors, starting from the early 1980s. As the urban industrial economy was dominated by state ownership, especially the state-owned enterprises, similar reforms methods that were proved successful in the countryside such as the production responsibility did not work very well in the cities. As a result, urban and industrial reforms encountered far more complication and difficulty in the 1980s and 1990s. To break the iceberg of the traditional Chinese planned system, opening was an important strategy of Deng Xiaoping to change the urban industrial economy to a market-oriented system. This was why China began with four special economic zones and 14 open coastal cities in the 1980s to experiment with capitalism and market in order to demonstrate that state-ownership and socialist planning can be substituted by, or at least supplemented with market capitalism. The second stage of China's economic reform started from 1992 after Deng Xiaoping made his tour to South China to encourage the people in the south, especially in Guangdong, to move faster towards a more open and market-oriented economy, allowing the inflow of foreign capital in large scale. Only after 1992 did foreign direct Investment (FDI) become a significant phenomenon in China's economic growth. Before 1992, FDI was allowed in the special economic zones and open coastal cities on an experimental basis. The amount of FDI was small because the government and the people did not have experiences in attracting foreign capital and were afraid that FDI could change the nature of the socialist state and the nature of the communist party. However, the difficulty in reforming the state-owned industrial sector also meant that if the government did not allow foreign capital to flow into China, it would have been impossible to achieve the reform objectives, one of which was to increase China's international competitiveness and industrial productivity. In short, economic reforms during 1978-92 can be regarded as reforms of domestic institutions and reforms after 1992 can be regarded as openness, export-push and globalization. One of the key elements of reforms after 1992 is FDL The role of FDI in China's economic development is not necessary to make up the shortfall of investments in the country as China has maintained a high saving rate since economic reforms. The most important contributions of FDI to the Chinese economy include technological transfer, competition, and export promotion. This thesis uses the most up-to-date and comprehensive data covering all the Chinese provinces over the period 1979-2003 to examine how FDI has contributed to economic growth. The growth models and the empirical results prove the following two important hypotheses: (1) FDI is a mover of production effîciency. It means that the presence of FDI helps domestic firms to reduce production inefficiency. (2) FDI is a shifter of the domestic production frontier. This means that FDI can help China to move to a higher technological production frontier so that for the same amount of inputs, China is able to produce more outputs, ceteris paribus, because the embedded technologies in FDI have brought about new technologies, production processes and management that were not existent within the country before. In the literature, few researchers have argued against the positive contribution of FDI to economic growth in China, but many have argued that FDI must have contributed to the rising income inequality, especially regional income inequality in the country. One important problem emerging from China's fast economic growth over the past three decades is the ever rising income inequality. Spatial inequality is an important part of total inequality. It happens that the pattern of this inequality is coincided with the pattern of FDI distribution. The east region has taken a lion's share of FDI whilst the inland regions assume a small portion. This thesis analyses both the patterns of income and FDI distribution across the provinces. It suggests that FDI cannot be blamed for regional inequality. Instead, it is the unequal distribution of FDI that has been responsible for the rising regional inequality. Consequently, the government should encourage, rather than discourage FDI to reduce regional income inequality, but the inflows of FDI must be directed more towards to the inland regions in the future. Another part of this thesis is to identify the main determinants of FDI in China. It is shown that market size, measured by GDP, infrastructure, population density, human capital, exchange rate, location and government policies are important factors influencing the inflows of FDI into China. The main conclusions in this thesis are as follows: (1) Fast economic growth in China has been helped by the massive inflows of FDI. (2) FDI helped domestic firms in improving competition and productivity. FDI also helped improving China's technological progress. Over the period 1979-2003, total factor productivity in China increased about 4% per annum and the contribution of FDI was roughly one-third of this productivity growth. Technological progress in China exhibits a two-steps waterfall shape, Coming down from more than 4% in the east, to less than 2% in the central, and to less than 1% in the west. (3) FDI cannot be blamed for the rising regional inequality in China. FDI should be encouraged, especially in the inland areas, to promote growth and to reduce regional inequality. (4) FDI inflows have been affected by many factors, among which government policies and macro-economic environment are important. To promote FDI, the relatively backward areas in the west and the central regions should be given more preferential policies, including taxation, infrastructure and education.

China’s mega-regions, in addition to cities and metropolitan areas, have become the engines for economic development, and the target areas for regional and national policies. Reflecting upon China’s current path of regional urbanization, the proposed research examines a fundamental issue for China’s megaregional development: the impact of transport network development on the spatial pattern of China’s megaregions. Using the multiple national Censuses (1982, 1990, 2000, 2010) and the transport network GIS data in the corresponding years, this research 1) constructs measures of megaregional spatial patterns, 2) assesses the spatial trajectory of megaregional growth based on the differentiated growth rates of metropolitan cities, 3) computes indicators of megaregional transport network connectivity and accessibility, 4) examines the impacts of transportation infrastructure on megaregional growth trajectory.
This research helps understand the spatial structure of China’s megaregions with newly constructed quantitative measures of polycentric spatial development, as well as the intra-megaregion and inter-megaregion variation of transport network in China. It also clarifies the link between transport infrastructure and megaregional spatial structure in China’s unique context by providing quantitative evaluation of the implications of transport investment for the spatial pattern in Chinese megaregions. Finally it enriches the megaregional solutions to China’s vision of economic, social and environmental sustainability.

This dissertation contributes to the finance-growth literature theoretically and empirically. The first chapter investigates whether financial deregulation causes economic growth and whether the effect happens through changes in the allocation of credit across sectors or changes in the savings an investment rate. This chapter uses the province-level financial deregulation experience of China from 1981 to 1998 to study these questions. It addresses issues of endogeneity of the growth channels by instrumenting with a series of financial reform policies. It finds that financial deregulation causes economic growth, and the effect is largely through the reallocation of credit across sectors rather than changes in savings and investment rates. The second chapter studies the 'capital-lord-entrepreneur' problem in an endogenous growth model. There are two representative agents--a household (the capital lord) financing R&D and an entrepreneur-inventor performing R&D. How do the contractual provisions on how households and entrepreneurs share property rights on inventions when asymmetric information exists affect growth? The credit contract giving entrepreneurs a higher share of monopolistic profit from inventions (i.e. entrepreneur's inventive incentive (EII) ) elicits more entrepreneurs' effort, generating a "bigger cake", but it also decreases the share of households, resulting in a "household's dissaving" effect. To ensure bounded growth, entrepreneur's effort increases as her share increases but at a decreasing rate, so the "bigger cake" effect is decreasing. The "household's dissaving" effect is increasing because the one additional share of cake given by households is bigger given effort is increasing. At the beginning, the "bigger cake" effect dominates, but beyond a point, "household's dissaving" effect dominates. Therefore the balanced growth rate is an inverted-U function of EII. Whether agricultural resource abundance is a blessing for industrialization is an issue that generates controversy in the development literature and has not been well addressed in the resource-curse literature. Attempting to address this issue, I examine the effect of long-term yearly average rainfall, average and variance of temperature, and sunshine on quality-adjusted farmland per capita and economic growth in China from 1981 to 1998. I find initial quality-adjusted farmland per capita as instrumented by weather indicators has a significantly negative impact on subsequent growth rate, so farmland abundance is a curse for growth. This negative relationship holds true even after controlling for traditional growth factors, population density (i.e. total land per capita), and time effects. Moreover, the weather indicators affect growth only through the channel of initial quality-adjusted farmland per capita, while initial quality-adjusted farmland per capita lowers growth rates mainly through the channel of total factor productivity.Arts, Faculty of

The objective of this thesis is to find out what factors have been the main sources of economic growth in China in 2003 and 2010. It also aims to find out whether the Solow model can be used to explain growth in China, if factors of growth are the same in rich and poor regions, whether the factors are the same in 2003 and 2010 and if the results are in line with previous research. The theoretical framework is the Solow model. Empirical tests are performed using econometrics, and therefore this thesis has a quantitative approach. Factors used are growth in GDP per capita which is tested against investments, household savings, the level of GDP per capita, population growth, healthcare and education. The results show that the Solow model can explain economic growth in China. Investments, the level of GDP per capita and population growth are the factors most significant to growth. In poor regions, both investments and population growth are more significant than in rich regions, whereas healthcare is more significant in rich regions. Investments and population growth also have a smaller impact in 2010 than 2003. Healthcare is more significant in 2010 and than 2003, and education is only significant in 2010. Previous research shows a wide range of results, and the results of investments and population growth are consistent with those.

The purpose of this paper is to study China’s income inequality under rapid economic growth.Does the relationship between economic growth and income inequality in China follow theKuznets hypothesis? What is the main cause and trend of China’s income inequality? We usedata which covers the period 1980-2005 to analyze the overall inequality, and data coveringthe period 1980-2002 to analyze the inequality inside rural and urban areas. The derivedresults doubt the validity of Kuznets hypothesis on explaining the relationship betweeneconomic growth and income inequality in China. Also we derive the trend of China’sincreased income inequality and find that the urban-rural income disparity is the main causeof China’s income inequality.

On 1 October 1949, the Communist Party of China under the leadership of Mao Zedong proclaimed the establishment of the People’s Republic of China. Mao was to lead the People’s Republic of China for the next twenty seven years until his death in 1976. During this twenty seven year period under Mao’s leadership the Communist Party of China consolidated its position as the leader of Chinese society and in so doing consolidated communist ideology as the central perspective that guided social and economic planning in China. In 1978, two years after Mao’s death, Deng Xiaping assumed the leadership of the Communist Party of China and this period marked the beginning of far reaching economic and social reforms in China. Over the next thirty years these reforms were to transform China’s economy from the tenth largest to the second largest in the world by the end of 2013. During this period China grew its manufacturing base to the extent that the country has become the world’s largest manufacturer and the world’s leading exporter. This transformation of China’s economy has translated to the country experiencing a period of high levels of economic growth over a sustained period of over 30 years. Estimates suggest that the country’s gross domestic product grew at an average annual rate of nearly 10% over a thirty year period from 1978. These high levels of economic growth have significantly contributed to the overall reduction of poverty levels in the country, with some estimates suggesting that between 300 million to 500 million of the country’s citizens have been lifted out of poverty over a period of thirty years. China’s economic growth has had an impact beyond its own borders, as growth in many developing countries has been inextricably linked to developments in the Chinese economy in particular its demand for raw materials.For developing countries that continue to grapple with high levels of poverty among its citizens, China’s experience of lifting such large numbers of its own citizens out of poverty at the back of high levels of economic growth over a period of thirty years must serve as a basis for some learnings. The primary purpose of this research is aimed at contributing towards building the basis for such learnings, particularly with regards to building an understanding of how China has been able to grow its economy at such high levels over a sustained period of time. This research aims to identify the determinants of China’s growth post 1978. The determinants of growth are studied particularly from 1978 because the year marks the beginning of the period of economic reforms.

It is believed that the more backward a country, the great potential for her to catch up. The history of the modern economic growth, which started in the United Kingdom in 1780, seems to have indicated this. But why has only a tiny group of countries managed to achieve modern economic growth? The neo-classical growth theory, based on the assumptions of constant return to scale, law of diminishing return and perfect competition, failed to explain the key causes of economic growth. The post-war experience of some countries, particularly Japan and South Korea, indicates that some things other than the increase in weighted labour and capital inputs, as claimed by the neo-classical growth theory, may have played a more important role in their rapid economic growth. Technological progress is now regarded by many economists as the most important contributing factors to economic growth. Technological advance generates economic growth through its effect on total factor productivity. However, where the new technologies come from, raining down from heaven as many neo-classical economists suggest, or resulting from the intentional investment as the new growth theory shows, has been an important controversial issue over the past three decades. It is hoped by many that the new growth theory could help to open the 'balck [sic] box' in the near future. This thesis is to examine what role technological advance has played in the economic growth of Japan and South Korea over the past three decades or so. A comparative analysis of China, Japan and South Korea in technology transfer, adaptation and diffusion will also be one of the main tasks of the study. Through this, the study tries to identify the key factors responsible for the successful assimilation and diffusion of new technologies in the Japanese and Korean economies. The main aim of the thesis is not to test the new growth or new trade theories. However, the key elements of the key elements of the new theories have been analysed throughout the study. The present study goes further beyond the areas that have been raised in the new theories. The cultural factor, country's socio-economic background, role of government, role of industrial policies and the character of different institutions will also be examined. The findings of the present study are: economies of scale and external economies have been the important factors for Japan and South Korea to have gained some comparative advantages in petrochemical and electronics industries. Rapid and efficient transfer and diffusion of new technologies have been the driving forces behind the fast economic growth both in Japan and South Korea during the post war period. A highly competent and efficient government, appropriate economic and industrial policies, a disciplined and well educated labour force and close co-operation between the government and the business community and between the management and employees have also played important role in the Japanese and Korean economic success.

Texto completoResumen
This thesis explores three topics within the broad area of urban growth and environment in China, city size distribution, city growth pattern and the environment impacts of city growth. The research is firstly motivated by two key stylized facts- the well-known Zipf's law for cities (which states that the number of cities of size greater than S is proportional to 1/S, i.e. the rank of a city is inversely correlated with its size) and Gibrat's law for cities (which states that city growth rate is independent of its size). Thus Chapter 3 and 4 examine the evolution of city size distribution by testing for Zipf’s law and Gibrat’s law in China from 1879 to 2009 (number of cities varies over time). Chapter 5 thereafter investigates the growth pattern of Chinese cities by testing for the sequential city growth (Cuberes, 2009). Given the concern of the environment impacts of city growth, Chapter 6 examines the impact of city size on local air quality using 30 major cities in China from 2003 to 2012.

Questa tesi si compone di quattro saggi ed è correlata sulla base di alcune analisi di politica sanitaria. Il tema si concentra focalizzandosi sui tre aspetti relativi alla salute ritenuti più importanti in Cina: la riforma del sistema sanitario, il peggioramento delle condizione di salute indotte dall’inquinamento, e gli effetti culturali sulla valutazione della politica sanitaria.
Il primo lavoro tratta uno studio qualitativo sulla evoluzione del sistema sanitario cinese. Nella trattazione vengono forniti alcuni spunti in tema di politica sanitaria per l'ulteriore riforma del sistema, supportati dall'analisi statistica di vari dati sanitari cinesi. Questo studio mette in evidenza la necessità di diminuire le disuguaglianze sanitarie tra le zone urbane e quelle rurali, la promozione nel coinvolgere più fornitori di cure mediche e la fornitura dell’assistenza medica di base anche alle persone che si trovano in uno stato di povertà. Nella trattazione verrà affrontato anche il tema della medicina tradizionale (MTC) e il suo ruolo nel sistema sanitario cinese.
Il secondo lavoro presenta un quadro teorico finalizzato di politica economica in base alle fluttuazioni dei livelli di salute e della produzione. Il modello fornisce alcune soluzioni in forma chiusa per la politica di mitigazione ottimale e per il tasso di crescita economica. Si dimostra anche che il rapporto tra la politica di mitigazione e tasso di crescita economica è a forma di U rovesciata. Il nostro studio empirico dimostra che la politica dell’abbattimento ottimale reagisce sensibilmente in base ai paramenti di salute e suggerisce una politica ambientale rigorosa.
Il terzo saggio si propone di estendere il modello di crescita stocastico introducendo due tipi di shock catastrofici sulla salute: Il disastro naturale ed epidemico. Nello studio vengono derivate alcune soluzioni in forma chiusa e la condizione necessaria e sufficiente per l'esistenza e l'unicità dell'equilibrio. Il messaggio innovativo è che la politica ottimale di abbattimento è estremamente sensibile agli shock sulla salute. La nostra simulazione suggerisce un livello di tassazione superiore nell’ambito del carbonio e una politica climatica più severa.
Il quarto saggio dimostra la relazione tra la domanda di servizi sanitari della TCM e della WM dipende sia dalla politica sanitaria e dall'effetto cultuale. Si dimostra che l'effetto marginale di tasso copay e le politiche assicurative è inversamente correlato. Inoltre, il rapporto tra tasso di copay e il benessere individuale assume la forma di U rovesciata, evidenziando che un tasso di copay più piccolo può aumentare le richieste di carattere sanitario. Infine, generalizziamo il modello di riferimento l'effetto dell'età di un individuo influenza la domanda tra il TCM e WM.This dissertation consists of four related essays on health policy analysis, and focuses on three most striking health related issues in China: health care system reform, pollution-induced health degradation, and culture effect on the evaluation of health policy. The first essay gives a qualitative study on the evolution of China's health care system. We provide policy insights for the further health care reform by statistical analysis to various Chinese health data. This essay highlights the need for diminishing the urban-rural health care inequalities, promoting diverse medical care providers and providing basic medical care assistance for extreme poor people. In addition, we discuss Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and its role in China's health care system. The second essay presents a theoretical framework to study economic policy subject to health and production fluctuations. The model provides closed-form solutions for the optimal mitigation policy and economic growth rate. It also demonstrates that the relationship between mitigation policy and economic growth rate is inverted-U shaped. Our numerical study shows that the optimal abatement policy reacts sensitively to health parameters, and suggests tight environmental policy. The third essay aims to extend the stochastic growth model by introducing two kinds of catastrophic shock on health: nature disaster and epidemic. The closed-from solution are derived. In addition, we provide the necessary and sufficient condition for the existence and uniqueness of the equilibrium. The innovative message is that optimal abatement policy reacts sensitively to the shock on health. Our calibration suggests higher carbon tax and more stringent climate policy. The fourth essay demonstrates the relationship between medical demand of TCM and WM depends on both health policy and culture effect. We demonstrate that the marginal effect of copay rate and insurance policy are invert related. Moreover, the relationship between copay rate and individual welfare is inverted-U shaped, and hence a smaller copay rate may enhance medical demand while reducing steady-state individual welfare. Finally, we generalize the benchmark model to study how the age effect influence individual's medical demand between TCM and WM.
