ECON2226: Chinese Economy
Proposal of Individual Term Paper
Due October 31st, 2024 at 11 pm on Moodle
Remarks: Each student is expected to submit her/his individual paper. Please feel free to choose a topic that is related to the Chinese economy. The topic can be related to the group presentation, but please try your best to make it different. For example, if your group presentation is about the impact of the Sino-US trade war on the Chinese economy, perhaps your paper should focus more on the causes and the likely outcomes of the trade war. The rationale behind this requirement is that each of you should experience the process of independent research, in addition to the group effort.
