Trends in Publications of Chinese Economic Studies: authors, journals and research fields, 1991–2003

Parallel to the rise of the Chinese economy has been the worldwide growth in economic scholarship on China. This paper examines the trends in the literature on the Chinese economy across journals, authors and research fields and, where possible, identifies events contributing to these trends. It is hoped that identification of these trends will provide useful references for researchers, not only in sourcing information but also in considering channels for publication in the field of Chinese economic studies.
