Event description
The 34th Annual Conference of Chinese Economics Society Australia (CESA)
Theme: Building “new quality productive forces” – the implications to China and the World
Centre for Enterprise Dynamics in Global Economics and UniSA STEM Aviation, University of South Australia
Date: 27-30 November 2024
The annual conference of the Chinese Economics Society Australia (CESA) aims to attract worldwide scholars interested in addressing significant issues related to the Chinese economy and evaluating the impacts of China’s development on the global economy. The 34th Annual CESA Conference, jointly hosted by University of South Australia and The University of Adelaide, provides a platform for discussing China’s new development policy of building ‘new quality productive forces’ to promote high-quality growth, and its implications.
Over the past few decades, China has ascended as a prominent economic force, providing abundant business prospects for both developing and developed economies due to its rapid economic development and increasing global influence. China’s recent development trajectory underscores a shift towards a more sustainable and innovation-driven growth model. Prioritizing private enterprise development, technological advancements, environmental protection, and social well-being, China aims to enhance the overall quality of economic growth rather than mere GDP expansion. Understanding this new development focus and its potential implications for the Chinese and world economies is imperative. We invite scholars from Australia, China, and other countries to contribute and present research that advances our comprehension of China’s past success, lessons learned, and future directions at the 34th CESA annual conference.
We welcome any research topics including but not limited to:
Agriculture and food security
Aviation and transport logistics
Climate change
COVID-19 and its ongoing impacts
Digital economy and the impact of AI
Ecological economics
Energy economics and finance
Entrepreneurial leadership
Environmental and resource economics
FDI, trade and industrial policies in China
Feminist economics
Geopolitical risks and political uncertainty
Health economics
Income and wealth inequality
Innovation and productivity growth
Macroeconomy and policy implications
Population and labour market
Tourism and hospitality
Papers that do not fit into these categories but are related to the main theme of the conference, are also welcome.
