China's Growing Role in World Trade

This insightful book explores the implications of China's rise as a major player in global trade, examining both challenges and opportunities.

In less than three decades, China has transformed from a minor player in global trade to one of the largest exporters worldwide. China's Growing Role in World Trade delves into the implications of this significant shift, exploring how China's economic ascent has influenced various aspects of international commerce. The book presents an empirical investigation into the microstructure of trade, macroeconomic impacts, sector-specific challenges, and the dynamics of foreign direct investment.

The authors, a collection of experts in the field, analyze the dual nature of China's growth. While some observers express concerns about job losses and economic competition, others emphasize the advantages for consumers, such as lower prices and expanded market opportunities. China's Growing Role in World Trade aims to provide a balanced perspective by examining both the potential drawbacks and benefits of China's evolving economic landscape.

Through meticulous research and data analysis, this volume challenges preconceived notions surrounding China's trade practices. It highlights data patterns that not only enhance our understanding of trade-related issues but also question established economic theories. By focusing on micro data and its implications, the book seeks to clarify misconceptions and contribute to a more nuanced conversation about China's position in the global economy.
