Wages in ChinaAn Economic Analysis (3-Volume Set)ZHANG Jun (Fudan University)

Dissects China’s Wage Determination MechanismA major determinant of the primary distribution of national income, wages will have tremendous impacts on both social equity and economic efficiency in China. Wages in China: An Economic Analysis presents the latest research results on the transformation of China’s wage formation mechanism since the adoption of the Reform and Opening Up policy.

This 3-volume series looks at the impact from the institutional evolution of the wage system, social networks, and geographical factors on the determination of wages. After reviewing the history of China’s wage policies and systematic transformation, the author examines the collective negotiation system as an example of institutional changes to explore the impacts on employees’ wages, and does an empirical study on the shrinkage in labor’s share of national income by using industrial and provincial data.

Based on the discussion of local policy-making decisions under fiscal federalism in China, the author also analyzes the regional wage differences with economic geographical and regional policy variances. The perspective of inter-industrial wage spillover is also followed to explain the wage differences and convergence paradox.

•Authoritative research results from the study of the evolution of China’s wage formation mechanism over 30 years

•A thorough examination of inter-industry wage differentials from the perspectives of geographical and political differences

•A detailed analysis of the effectiveness of collective bargaining in raising wage levels

Corporate Governance in ChinaThe Role of Institutional InvestorsYUAN Rongli (Renmin University of China)

A Multifaceted Study of the Role of Financial Institutions in the Governance of China’s Listed CompaniesThe growing share of institutional investors in the capital market has increasingly brought their role in corporate governance to the fore of academic discourse. While China is no exception in this booming trend, Chinese academia has not given the issue equal attention. Corporate Governance in China: The Role of Institutional Investors contextualizes the assessment of the monitoring function of institutional investors in the Chinese economy using mixed research methods including interviews, secondary data analysis, and a case study.

Corporate Governance in China: The Role of Institutional Investors attempts to verify the validity of established agency theory and findings on corporate governance to China. Noting the diverse types of institutional investors in China, author Yuan Rongli singles out financial institutions, particularly securities investment funds and securities companies, which are counterparts of “institutional investors” as traditionally understood, as she probes into the actual functioning of financial institutions in corporate governance as well as the corresponding effects on company performance. Her study, apart from confirming the important role of these financial institution investors, identifies the factors that enhance and limit this role and the main agency problem in China’s corporate governance.

CONTENT HIGHLIGHTS

• Agency and Corporate Governance Theories

• Role of Institutional Investors in Other Countries

• Institutional and Economic Context of China’s Corporate Governance

Cooling China’s Housing Bubble Policies for Sustainable GrowthGUO Qingwang and ZHANG Jie (Renmin University of China)

A Comprehensive Exploration of Countermeasures for Housing Bubbles Under China’s “New Normal” Cooling China’s Housing Bubble: Policies for Sustainable Growth, a substantive study funded by the China Fiscal and Financial Policy Research Institute of the Renmin University of China, tackles the knotty problem of housing market development from a policy perspective. In China, policymakers have been grappling with the dilemma between escalating home prices, which have fed fears of a housing bubble burst, and the possible economy-dampening consequences of regulatory measures. This raises the question that prompted the current study: How can China achieve a soft landing for its property market?

Referencing economic theories and models, contributors of Cooling China’s Housing Bubble: Policies for Sustainable Growth come up with a fair mechanism for determining China’s equilibrium home price and examine the risk of housing bubbles in the country. They then evaluate past and current financial, land, and housing policies, including the recent home-purchase restrictions which have effected a temporary drop in property investments, in terms of their effects on home prices, while giving suggestions on policies for sustainable growth in the property market.

CONTENT HIGHLIGHTS

• The Regulatory Plight of China’s Property Market

• The Equilibrium Price of Commodity Housing

• Measures of the Housing Bubble and Assessment of Systematic Risks

China’s Outward Foreign Direct InvestmentTheories and StrategiesZHANG Hong et al. (Renmin University of China)

How Can China Benefit from Its Outward Foreign Direct Investment Activities?China has firmly implemented its “going out” strategy for more than 10 years. In this time, people have witnessed Chinese enterprises’ continuously booming outward FDI activities. However, behind this glorious picture, there are still some doubts such as: What are the motives of Chinese enterprises’ outward FDI activities? In what ways can Chinese transnational companies get benefits under international vertical specialization? This book can provide answers to these questions by:

•Building theoretical models to explain how China could benefit from the spillover effect and get upgraded in the global value chain

•Explaining Chinese enterprises’ outward FDI motives with evidence from China’s manufacturing industry

•Conducting general equilibrium analysis of China’s technology-sourcing outward FDI and its entry mode

•Exploring experience from China’s Automobile and Computer Industries in GVC Upgrading

This is a timely book in light of the fact that the annual value of China’s outward foreign direct investment (OFDI), which for all practical purposes had begun only in the early 2000s, is now just about matching the value of the inflow of FDI into China.

The History and Spirit of Chinese Art(2-Volume Set)ZHANG Fa (Renmin University of China)

Art is always a product of cultural evolution, and The History and Spirit of Chinese Art looks at this universal process as it unfolded in ancient China. With “mountain-water” landscape paintings, works of classical Chinese calligraphy, and blue and white porcelain widely displayed in museums and fetching high prices in auction houses worldwide, Chinese art is no longer foreign to the Western world. However, to many, the making of such cultural artefacts remains an enigmatic process. Indeed, Chinese art, the product of such an old civilization, was shaped by an ongoing process of evolution along the ebb and flow of China’s history as a nation.

In The History and Spirit of Chinese Art , aesthetics expert Zhang Fa deciphers the philosophies and thoughts that have defined Chinese art since the very beginning of the Chinese civilization, moving through the dynastic landmarks of artistic development with discussions of numerous art forms including paintings, architecture, dance and music, calligraphy, and literature.

ZHANG Fa is Professor of the School of Art and President of the Institute of Aesthetic Research, Renmin University of China, and he has been a Visiting Fellow of Harvard University (1996–1997) as well as the University of Toronto (2002–2003). Currently, he also sits on the Board of the Chinese Association for Aesthetics and Chinese Comparative Literature Association. He has published influential research papers and books on aesthetics and Chinese art, including The Elements of Aesthetics (1999), A History of Chinese Aesthetics (2000), and Art, Literature, and the Modernity of China (2002).

Unequal Treaties and China(2-Volume Set)WANG Jianlang (Chinese Academy of Social Sciences)

From the first Opium War (1839-1842) and until the birth of New China in 1949, China was forced to sign multiple unequal treaties by foreign imperialist and invading powers. In these treaties, China conceded many of its sovereign rights in terms of territory and commerce. Ever since the time of the first unequal treaty (the Treaty of Nanjing), the people of China have struggled to invalidate these unequal treaties. Unequal Treaties and China provides a comprehensive overview of China’s history of fighting against these unequal treaties.

Understanding a country’s history is a vital way of understanding its people. In this book author Wang Jianlang looks at how history has affected the nation and how those unequal treaties from foreign powers have shaped China’s policies even up until the modern day.

•A comprehensive survey of China’s unequal treaties with foreign imperialist powers since the late-Qing era

•A comparison of how different governments in China in different eras responded to the unequal treaties

WANG Jianlang is the President of the Institute of Modern History, CASS, the General Secretary of the Association of Chinese Historians, He is also the author of The Return of Xinjiang to Chinese Central Control during the Last Days of the Sino-Japanese War: A Reappraisal Based on Chiang Kai-shek’s Diary (2010) and other works.

The Ideological Transformation of 20th Century Chinese Literature(2-Volume Set)XIE Mian (Peking University)

Explores the Metamorphosis of Chinese Literature in the Modern EraThe 20th century was an era of tremendous changes for Chinese society, and these changes shaped the development of Chinese literature as revealed in The Ideological Transformation of 20th Century Chinese Literature. Rulers in the late-Qing dynasty era were subjected to unwilling reforms which saw the abolition of the “eight-legged” essays and the imperial examination as these had notoriously restricted the thinking of the Chinese literati. Shortly after the fall of the Qing, leaders of the New Culture Movement started to promote vernacular literature, stressed the need for a re-examination of the ancient classics, and championed the popularization of Western values. After that, Chinese literature was taken on a completely different trajectory, not only in stylistic terms but also in ideological ones.

The Ideological Transformation of 20th Century Chinese Literature is the fruit of poet and critic Xie Mian’s decades-long study of contemporary Chinese literature during his earlier years as a professor at Peking University. Grouped thematically and in accordance with the periods in discussion, this collection of nearly 50 essays provides an integrated examination of the historical backdrop and ideologies that underpinned Chinese literature from the days of the New Culture Movement to the New Era beyond the Cultural Revolution through a mix of microscopic criticisms and macroscopic overviews. The book won the Chinese Association of Contemporary Literature Outstanding Achievement Award.

CONTENT HIGHLIGHTS

•Historical Development of Literature in Modern China: The New Culture Movement and the Emergence of an Exceptional Form of Chinese Literature

•Rise of Contemporary Chinese Literature and Its Particularities, as well as Individualism in Modern Chinese Literature

•New Age of Chinese Literature, Disorientation and Disintegration of Chinese Literature, Alienation among Literati, and Revolutions in Chinese Literature
