The 5th Biennial Conference on Transition and Economic Development (TED)

Every two years, China Centre for Economic Studies (CCES) organizes an international conference on the Chinese economy, with the objectives of strengthening scientific collaborations and connecting China scholars around the world. The 5th TED conference is organized in collaboration with The Chinese Economist Society (CES) and The Society for the Study of Emerging Markets (SSEM). The previous conferences have attracted wide-ranging attention from academic institutions, government organisations and industries, alongside the media in China. The theme of the 5th TED conference will be economic development and structural changes, focusing on the roles of institutions, markets and public policies. Preferences will be given to the following topics: marketization and governance, political connections, industrial agglomeration, and China and the world economy, especially the role of government during China’s development.
