  • Entrepreneurship Propelling Economic Changes in China
    Entrepreneurship Propelling Economic Changes in China by Gregory C. Chow, Princeton University CEPS Working Paper No. 202 March 2010 Entrepreneurship Propelling Economic Changes in China Gregory C. Chow The most important aspect of the Chinese economy today is its rapid changes. The changes are propelled by the Chinese entrepreneurs. This essay is an attempt to understand who the entrepreneurs are, the environment in which they work, whether the dynamic changes will continue and what policies can be proposed to improve the changes. For years the most important topic in the study of the Chinese economy is economic reform led by the Chinese government and the Communists Party of China. See Chow (2007) on China’s economic reform. Much of China’s economic reform has been completed. The government has provided an environment for the entrepreneurs to strive and to change the economy to the better. To study the economic changes is to study the behavior of this group of economic actors. I assume that they are rational economic agents motivated by the pursuit of economic gains. Their behavior can be understood in the framework of maximization subject to the constraint of the environment. Although economic thinking applies to the present study, the propositions are qualitative rather than quantitative. Economic growth can be measured by such important variables as real GDP, but economic changes in China have qualitative aspects that I cannot and do not wish to describe completely in quantitative terms. Yet economic thinking will be used for the explanation and prediction of the changes and for suggesting policies to improve them.
