1. Overview

The China Research and Policy Group at Western is a research and policy analysis/ dialogue entity based at the Economic Policy Research Institute (EPRI), Department of Economics, The University of Western Ontario (UWO), London, Ontario, Canada, and partnered with the Centre for International Governance Innovation (CIGI), Waterloo, Ontario, Canada. It also has several partnering research groups in universities and research institutions in China, and other countries including the UK, Russia and India.

It engages in both project supported activities and in policy commentary and dialogue on a wide range of issues related to economic policy issues involving China. It also interacts with the business community both inside and outside of China. Its central focus is on China’s ongoing integration and involvement in the global economy. This covers China’s trade and foreign investment inflows and outflows, its involvement in international bodies (G20, WTO, IMF, World Bank), exchange rate and reserve management policies, growing Southern engagement, and regional trade and monetary policies. But in addition, the group also covers Chinese domestic issues including enterprise reforms, Chinese tax policy, China’s labour markets, China’s regional polices, social policy and inequality and other issues.

The group has four principal investigators, one of whom also serves as group coordinator. The group has five postdoctoral fellows at UWO, including visitors from China, three visiting Chinese graduate students, and one student from India. It also supports the research of other UWO faculty and graduate students.

The output from the group involves research papers (see below), conferences and workshops (also see below), monthly seminars with CIGI participation, visits by distinguished scholars, and participation in events/conferences elsewhere. Leading Chinese partners include Beihang University (BU), Beijing Normal University (BNU), Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), Chinese Academy of Social Sciences (CASS), Chinese Agricultural University (CAU), Development Research Centre (State Council), Fudan University, Inner Mongolia University, Peking University (PKU), Renmin University, Shanghai Academy of Social Sciences (SASS), Shanghai Jiaotong University (SJTU), Shanghai University of Finance and Economics (SUFE), Suzhou Institute, University of International Business and Economics (UIBE), Xiamen University and Zhejiang University.

Outside China, the China Research and Policy Group at Western partners with the ESRC Centre, Competitive Advantage in the Global Economy (CAGE), at the University of Warwick, UK; the Institute for Complex Strategic Studies (ICSS), Moscow; the International Development Research Centre (Western), the School for Contemporary Chinese Studies, University of Nottingham, UK; and the School for International Studies, Jawaharlal Nehru University, Delhi.

4. The Ontario Research Fund (ORF) Project

This is a five year project which the China Research and Policy Group at Western is currently executing which seeks to produce policy relevant original research, achieve policy impact primarily in China and cover China’s interactions with other larger developing countries. It focuses on five themes.

1. China’s trade and foreign investment 2. China’s exchange rates, reserve management, and monetary polices 3. China and climate change 4. China’s tax policies 5. China and the South

The coordinator is John Whalley (UWO/CIGI), with Manmohan Agarwal (CIGI), Jim Davies (UWO) and Terry Sicular (UWO) as project principal participants. The aim is to work with young postdoctoral fellows, mainly from China, to produce new policy relevant research, achieve policy impact and produce information flows. The project has a series of sub programs and activities; Postdoctoral Fellows; Affiliates; Mini Conference/Seminars; Working Papers; Policy Briefs; Outreach Activities.

Postdoctoral Fellows

The project has the resources to make five postdoctoral fellow appointments each year. These are typically younger completed PhDs, often with university or research institute appointments. Scholars produce research papers relevant to the project themes. They also engage in policy dialogue via presentations and panel membership sessions. The project has the flexibility to make shorter duration appointments in some cases.

Research Affiliates

The project appoints scholars in China and elsewhere as research affiliates. These appointments may be prior to postdoctoral fellow appointments in later years. Such appointments give affiliates the chance to post papers on the project web site or be invited to project events.

Mini Conferences/Seminars

The project typically holds two mini conferences a year, one in China and one in Canada at CIGI. The first of these were on China and Climate and Inequality in China and held in spring 2010 at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences and at Beijing Normal University. There is a monthly workshop series at UWO, as well as a distinguished visitor program, and a weekly informal project lunch seminar.

Working Papers

The project has a working paper series providing full‐length scholarly research reports by Postdoctoral Fellows and project researchers, intended for later publication in academic journals or other scholarly outlets. The papers are made available on the project website. Papers by Research Associates are also downloadable from this site.

Policy Briefs

The project, in collaboration with CIGI, produces commentary on current issues relevant to the project. These are distributed electronically.

Outreach Activity

To achieve outreach for project work, the project encourages policy dialogue through participation in outside events, media interviews, and newspaper commentary. This occurs both inside and outside China. 5. IDRC/CIGI Young China Scholars Project

This project works with a growing young scholars’ network in China to produce ongoing policy relevant research and to achieve policy impact through dialogue. At present, the project is funded for three years (2010 onwards) as an extension to the earlier Phase 1 funding between 2005 and 2008 of the IDRC/CIGI Young China Scholars Research and Policy Engagement Network. Its main focus is debate in China concerning the global economic crisis and what form the post crisis policy regime in China should take. Discussions of appropriate policy responses have been ongoing in several key policy areas such as trade, finance, banking regulation, exchange rates, tax policy rural development, poverty alleviation, and social policy. There is activity in the research community in China on these issues, but it is scattered and tends not to involve younger scholars to any significant degree. The Phase 1 Network, which focused on poverty research, developed the network infrastructure on which to build new research activity in this area by further involving young scholars.

The approach in Phase 2 is to use targeted network strengthening activities in subareas, develop young researchers and commission papers from more established scholars. From 2010 onwards, Phase 2 will involve subarea activity on China’s key post crisis policy areas involving trade and investment, macro polices and financial structure, social policies and poverty, rural development and China’s tax policies. Research work from these groups, plus briefings/commentary from senior policy figures, will be brought together in a thematically focused Annual Forum of Crisis Research and Policy Dialogue. Principal Chinese partners in the project are the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences (CASS), and Beijing Normal University (BNU). The project is jointly coordinated by Professors Li Shi (BNU), Tongsan Wang (CASS), Terry Sicular (UWO and CIGI) and John Whalley (UWO and CIGI). 6. The ADF Climate Change Project

This is a project supported by the Academic Development Fund at UWO for two years for initial work on an innovative approach to modeling global carbon limitation initiatives. China is a key focus of analysis in this work. The research questions involve the appropriate size of global carbon emission reductions and their distribution by country, taking into account the benefits of slowed global warming. The methodology involves the development and use of bargaining structures in which country emission reduction levels are endogenously determined in contrast to currently available models which treat emission reduction proposals as exogenous, and in which the benefits of emission reductions are not present. This work will thus contrast sharply with current modeling structures used by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and national government agencies. A series of research papers has been produced which is available at the China Research and Policy Group at Western website.

7. Wider Dialogue and Interactions

Following the mandate of ORF grant, the China Research and Policy Group at Western also seeks to interact with companies and other entities outside China seeking information on China, and Chinese companies and other entities seeking information on conditions outside of China. The China Research and Policy Group at Western also seeks policy dialogue with policy makers and other groups inside China, as well as outside China. The China Research and Policy Group at Western also interacts with NGO groups and media. 8. China Research and Policy Group at Western Papers and Books
