China's Unbalanced Development, And What We Can Learn From It, Manfredo F. Camperio Ciani
China's Unbalanced Development, And What We Can Learn From It, Manfredo F. Camperio Ciani
Senior Theses and Projects
This paper argues that China’s development is unbalanced, and to see the unbalance we must divide the concept of development into different categories representing its different aspects, such as economic, urban, social, and sustainable. By looking at the different characteristics of development through time, it is possible to see where the unbalance lies.

In conclusion, this paper proposes the creation of a possible Development Index, as it can provide greater understanding of each country’s development.

The great leap famine started with a good harvest in the end of 1958 and ended when the rural grain consumption per capita touched the lowest level in 1961. All the hypotheses except for communal dining halls could not explain the puzzle. The communal dining system is the most important cause of great leap famine since it can explain the whole sequence from the start, aggravation and end of the famine. Basing on the panel data from 1958 to 1962 of 25 provinces, and employing the sharp change of the participation rate from elementary cooperative in 1954 to advance cooperative …
