China’s Economic Development and U.S.-China Economic Relations
The U.S.-China relationship is now second to none in its importance for international economic relations and policy, and accordingly is a major focus of IIEP and its affiliated faculty. IIEP’s faculty regularly publish articles, op-eds, books, and working papers focusing on U.S.-China Economic Relations.
The centerpiece of this initiative is our annual Conference on China’s Economic Development and U.S.-China Economic and Relations, which has become one of the premier events of its type bringing together experts in the research and policy community to improve understanding of issues critical to China, the U.S., and the global economy. This annual conference features leading scholars from the U.S., China, and other countries, who present research on a wide range of issues. Conference sessions have addressed topics such as the prospects for China’s continued economic growth, financial liberalization, trade imbalances and practices, retirement patterns and pension reform, industrial clusters, gender imbalances, the rural-urban development balance and patterns of poverty reduction, labor migration, and China’s role in international development financing. The conference includes an annual, full-day in-person conference at the Elliott School of International Affairs as well as numerous events throughout the year. IIEP partners with GW institutions including the Sigur Center for Asian Studies and the Center for International Business Education and Research (GW-CIBER) to host this annual conference.
