The 16th China Economics Summer Institute (CESI)

The objective of The China Economics Summer Institute (CESI) is to create a network and community of top level scholars working on Chinese economic development. This year's CESI will be hosted by HKUST Center for Economic Policy and HKUST Department of Economics.

The workshop intends to bring together scholars working on China across different parts of the world and build supportive mentoring networks for junior scholars. We welcome applications not only from those who want to present their research on China but also from anybody who has an interest in doing serious economic research on China and would like to use the workshop as means of exploring this possibility.

This year, the review committee has have selected 12 papers in political economy, trade/ macroeconomics and labor/development. A PhD student session is arranged to encourage the young Ph.D students to work on topics related to the Chinese economy.
