China: Competing in the Global Economy
by Wanda TsengChina's economic performance over recent years has been impressive, managing to weather the Asian crisis of the late 1990s largely unscathed, as well as sustaining growth in the face of the recent global downturn. However, there are structural weaknesses in its economy which, if unmet, could undermine its economic stability and growth. This book examines these challenges and China's efforts to address them, in order to ensure China can compete successfully in the global economy and sustain its economic performance whilst spreading the benefits more widely across society. Topics covered include: provincial growth dynamics, foreign direct investment, medium-term fiscal issues; state enterprise reforms, the impact of WTO accession, and exchange rate policy.

Privatization in Transition Countries
by Oleh Havrylyshyn Donal McgettiganThe authors' view is that any privatisation is better than none, regardless of whether a stable, competitive environment has been established first. However, private companies started from scratch perform best, followed by newly privatised firms run by outsiders, either local or foreign. Privatised companies dominated by insiders do less well, but even they regularly outperform state enterprises. Without an appropriate market environment though, managers may spend more time lobbying the government for support than undertaking painful restructuring measures.
