Simulation Results; References; AppendixWe present a stylized real model of the Chinese economy with the objective of explaining two features: (1) domestic production is highly competitive in the sense that an accumulation of capital that raises the marginal product of labor elicits increases in employment and output rather than only in wages; and (2) even though the domestic saving rate is high, foreign direct investment is also substantial. We explain these features in terms of a conventional neoclassical growth model-with no monetary or nominal exchange rate policy-by including two aspects of the economy explicitly in the model: (1) low production wages are sustained by a large reserve army of rural labor which drives internal migration, and (2) domestic capital is distinct from importable capital and complementary with it in production. The results suggest that underlying real phenomena are important in explaining recent history; while nominal renmimbi appreciation may dampen price and wage increases, it would probably not change the real factors that have sustained rapid growth.IMF Working Papers; Working Paper ;No. 2008/099Economic developmentChinaEconometric modelsInvestments, ForeignChinaEconometric modelsAggregate Factor Income DistributionimfExports and ImportsimfFinanceimfForeign direct investmentimfGeographic Labor MobilityimfImmigrant WorkersimfIncome economicsimfIncomeimfInternational InvestmentimfInvestments, ForeignimfLabor economicsimfLabor Economics: GeneralimfLabor mobilityimfLaborimfLabourimfLong-term Capital MovementsimfMacroeconomicsimfWagesimfWages, Compensation, and Labor Costs: GeneralimfChinaEconomic conditionsEconometric modelsChinaEconomic policyEconometric modelsChina, People's Republic ofimfEconomic developmentEconometric models.Investments, ForeignEconometric models.Aggregate Factor Income DistributionExports and ImportsFinanceForeign direct investmentGeographic Labor MobilityImmigrant WorkersIncome economicsIncomeInternational InvestmentInvestments, ForeignLabor economicsLabor Economics: GeneralLabor mobilityLaborLabourLong-term Capital MovementsMacroeconomicsWagesWages, Compensation, and Labor Costs: General338.28394Lipschitz Leslie1683019Rochon Celine1771054Verdier Genevieve1771055IMF Institute.International Monetary Fund.DcWaIMFBOOK9910818880903321A Real Model of Transitional Growth and Competitiveness in China4255543UNINA
