ASSIGNMENT:
The Case:
By 1949, continuous foreign invasions, frequent revolutions, restorations and civil wars
had left the country of China with a fragile economy with little infrastructure. After three
decades of central planning, it was time for China to emerge from isolation and become
an important player in the world economy. Economic reforms since 1978 have taken
China to a new trajectory of growth. Evolution into a controlled-open economy has
synchronized the movement of macroeconomic variables like growth rate, inflation, and
exchange rate, with the rest of the world. Any policy change in China now has its impact
on the world economy. China is the world’s second largest economy in terms of nominal
GDP and Purchasing Power Parity after USA. It is the world's fastest growing major
economy, with growth rates averaging 10% over the past 30 years. Suppose in year 2000,
Chinese consumption was characterized by the equation, C = 450 + 0.80Y. Government
expenditures were Rs.350 million and total investment was about Rs.220 million. At that
time, China paid Rs.250 million as import payments and earned Rs.350 million as export
revenues.
