Conclusion; Data Appendix; ReferencesNow close to 50 percent of GDP, this paper assesses the appropriateness of China's current investment levels. It finds that China's capital-to-output ratio is within the range of other emerging markets, but its economic growth rates stand out, partly due to a surge in investment over the last decade. Moreover, its investment is significantly higher than suggested by cross-country panel estimation. This deviation has been accumulating over the last decade, and at nearly 10 percent of GDP is now larger and more persistent than experienced by other Asian economies leading up to the Asian crisis.IMF Working PapersInvestments, ChineseEconometric modelsEconomic developmentChinaEconometric modelsElectronic books.Investments, ChineseEconometric models.Economic developmentEconometric models.Lee Il Houng879460Syed Murtaza1975-907256Liu Xueyan948588International Monetary Fund.Asia and Pacific Dept.MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910453124403321Is China over-investing and does it matter2144190UNINA
