Title: China's Exchange Rate Variation : Impacts on Industrial
Restructuring
Author: Gu Kejian and Yu Jian
Publisher: Hong Kong : Enrich Professional
Year of Pub.: 2013
Call no.: HG3978 .G824 2013
ISBN.: 9789814298346
u This book analyzes the external influences, especially the
influences of exchange rate variation, on China's current
industrial restructuring under the development of open economy
and globalization. It concludes that the key driving force for
China's industrial restructuring is the development of its external
sectors, such as the exchange rate mechanism and new
strategies in the financial economy's capital market. The
influences of the exchange rate variation, which is exerted
through a unique mechanism, over China's industrial
restructuring would be more obvious. This book also suggests
that in order to keep improving the industrial structure, China
should actively adjust the exchange rate of Renminbi and
achieve dynamic comparative advantages.
u Chapters of the book include:
- Introduction: subject and methods
- Relevant theories of exchange rate variation and industrial
restructuring
- China's industrial restructuring in the context of comparative
advantage: exchange rate and gains from trade
- Introduction of development and openness variables
- Path analysis of changes in China's exchange rate leading
to industrial restructuring
- Interdependence of China's exchange rate system reform
and industrial restructuring
- China's exchange rate reform that meets the objectives of
industrial restructuring
