| Summary/Abstract |
In May 1979, Justin Yifu Lin—a 26-year-old company commander in the army of the Republic of China and a recent graduate of the MBA program at National Chengchi University-defected from Taiwan to mainland China by swimming across the straits to Fujian Province, leaving behind his pregnant wife and three-year-old child. Seven years later, after obtaining a Master's degree in Marxist political economy from Peking University, he became one of the first citizens of the People's Republic of China to receive a PhD in economics from the University of Chicago. Reunited with his family, and returning to China, he became a professor of economics at Peking University and founded the Beijing-based China Center for Economic Research. In June 2008, he became the chief economist of the World Bank, the first ever from a developing country. In a conversation with World Policy Journal editor David A. Andelman and managing editor Justin Vogt, Lin explained his vision of the global recovery and the role of the World Bank in helping developing nations grow and prosper.

| Summary/Abstract |
China achieved average GDP growth of nearly 10 percent over the period 1978–2015. However, how long can such high levels of growth be sustained, especially when per capita GDP levels have reached middle-income status, and the normal tendency of economies is to slow down as they mature? This paper reviews the recent literature on the determinants and outlook for real GDP growth in China and addresses some of the key issues, including identifying supply-side factors that can support continued strong growth under favorable conditions, as well as risk factors that might cause growth to fall short. The paper reviews supply-side determinants of growth using a growth accounting framework, and also assesses major demand-side factors driving potential growth, including exports, capital formation and household consumption.

| Summary/Abstract |
The present paper examines the historical evolution of China's rural taxation system from the pre-reform period to the late 1990s. We propose that because of information asymmetry between the upper-level and the lower-level governments, local governments had to be granted some informal tax autonomy to fulfill the upper-level policy mandates. This easily led to excessive local informal taxation on farmers. As market liberalization of the grain sector progressed, the low-cost tax instruments implemented through the traditional approach of implicit taxation gradually eroded. Local governments in agricultural regions had to resort to informal fees collected directly from individual rural households while the more industrialized regions shifted to non-agricultural taxes that are less costly in terms of tax collection. Hence, political tension between farmers and local governments in agriculture-based regions emerged and rural tax reform became necessary.

| Summary/Abstract |
This review paper provides a new narrative by combing through the experiences of structural transformation among developing countries and discussing the roles of government and market in different contexts. Country performance has been influenced by the prevailing development thinking: the structuralism in the 1950s–1970s, which stresses an active government's role to overcome market failures for industrialization, and the neoliberalism in the 1980s–present, which advocates for eliminating government failures to build up a well‐functioning market. We find that almost all countries failing by following structuralism in their industrialization and neoliberalism in their transition to a market economy, and the few countries successful in catching up have a few characteristics that go against the prevailing structuralism and neoliberalism. The new structural economics, generated from the experiences of successful East Asian economies and proposing active facilitating roles of government in a market economy to remove market failures, will gain traction and take root.
