Asian Development Bank Institute, Tokyo, Japan
November 11-12, 2015
Call for Papers
The Asian Development Bank Institute, in collaboration with China and the World Economy, of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, invites submission of unpublished papers on the subject of ”Impacts of a Possible Growth Slowdown in the PRC on Asia”. The experience of Japan, Korea and Taipei, China raises the question of whether the PRC’s economy has reached a stage where its medium or long run growth may slow down significantly. If so, this will have significant implications for growth, trade and investment of other economies.
We are looking for original research papers related to, although not limited to, the following topics:
- Factors explaining the long-term growth slowdown of major advanced economies, including, but not limited to, Japan, Korea and Taipei,China, including convergence, population aging, structural distortions, trade competitiveness and globalization, drawing implications for the PRC;
- Forces explaining the past growth and current slowdown of the Chinese economy.
- Quantifying the impacts of slower Chinese growth on growth, trade, investment and employment in other Asian economies;
- Analyses of policy measures that could mitigate the PRC’s slowdown and its impacts on other economies, including assessment of the “one-belt-one-road” initiative by the PRC.
The workshop will be organized based on selection of submitted papers. ADBI will meet the travel and accommodation costs of one author per paper. Accepted papers will be considered for a special issue of China & World Economy and/or a book volume published by ADBI.
Timeframes and Submission Procedure: Contributors should submit their draft papers or substantial abstract to pmorgan@adbi.org at the latest by 31 August 2015, and completed papers by 30 September 2015.
