Professor Yu Miaojie, deputy secretary of the CPC Committee and President of Liaoning University, and Professor Tian Wei, a tenured-associate professor at Peking University's School of Economics, have recently written a new book titled Input Trade Liberalization in China. The book has been published and distributed by Springer, a world-renowned publisher of scientific and technical books.
The book focuses on input trade liberalization in China and discusses the underlying causes and profound effects of Chinese enterprises facing import liberalization of intermediate input. The content comprises ten chapters. Its analysis mainly uses academic research, but with additional policy study. Most chapters in this book apply the standard method of contemporary economic systems, integrating into the most advanced economic theories of international trade. The authors use theoretical models to obtain predictions which receive empirical support and carry out strict empirical research using data from China's manufacturing enterprises and China's customs to analyze the causes which affect Chinese enterprises facing import liberalization of intermediate input after China’s reform and opening-up.
The suggested readership would be the public who are willing to understand the issues closely related to China’s input trade liberalization and opening-up policy, and basic knowledge in economics would be necessary in understanding the academic research of the book. Also, the book is specifically compelling to businesses and policy makers in that it enables deeper understanding of outward foreign investment of enterprises and China’s opening-up policy, thus facilitating their decision-making processes.
