China Economics Summer Institute (CESI)
June 22-24, 2012
The 5th China Economics Summer Institute (CESI)
will take place in 2012 (Working papers of
previous CESI workshops available at
http://igov.berkeley.edu/china_workingpapers and
at http://chinasummerinstitute.org ). The
objective of CESI is to create a network and
community of top level scholars working on
Chinese economic development. This initiative is
currently co-sponsored by UC Berkeley Center on
Institutions and Governance (with generous
funding from the Ford Foundation), the University
of Chicago Booth School of Business, the School
of Economics and Management at Tsinghua
University, the Guanghua School of Management at
Peking University and a joint program of the
LICOS-Center for Institutions and Economic
Performance at the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven
and Stanford- CASS REAP (Rural Education Action Program).
This call invites you to submit a paper or
express your interest in attending the above
Summer Institute which will be hosted this year
by Guanghua School of Management at Peking
University between June 22d and June 24 2012. The
workshop intends to group together the best
scholars working on China in China, the US and
Europe with other top level scholars who have an
interest in working on China in the future. 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.
The Summer Institute will bring together between
20 and 30 participants for a period of three
days. During the workshop, there will be
seminar presentations and free time to allow
scholars to interact and explore the possibility
of doing joint research projects. Senior scholars
who will attend will be available for
consultations with junior scholars, usually
during the afternoons and there will be some
lectures by senior scholars. The Summer Institute
will take place at the same time as the BREAD
Summer school that will take place in the same location.
The scientific committee of the China Economic
Summer Institute is composed of Chongen Bai,
Robin Burgess, Hongbin Cai, Chang-Tai Hsieh,
Hongbin Li, Albert Park, Gérard Roland, Jo
Swinnen, Shang-Jin Wei and Yaohui Zhao.
Papers for possible presentation at the meeting
or expressions of interest in attending the
meeting should be e-mailed to
