Abstract
China's reform, opening-up and resultant economic growth in the past 40 years have led to the accumulation of an immense array of experiences, which economists are obligated to look into, analyze and theorize upon. By adopting an analytical framework unifying historical logic and theoretical logic, Professor Cai's talk will reveal the unique Chinese experience and its relevance to the general laws of economic development. Professor Cai will also talk about how the incentive mechanism, the factor accumulation and allocation system, market development, and macro policy environment reforms have spurred China's economic growth, structural changes and the increase in productivity. Policy implications for further reform will also be discussed.
