    World Trade Organization Accession: Challenges and Opportunities for Railways in the People’s Republic of China

    Parkash, Manmohan | June 2007
    Abstract
    PRC railways have played a very important role in developing the national economy and in the country’s industrial revolution. However, with increasing market access under WTO, PRC railways face competitive challenges in open access, pricing, reliability, service quality, and have corresponding opportunities to develop cooperative relationships. The challenges come from other modes of transport and from within the rail sector offering lower total costs, greater reliability, and better service quality.

      The Impact of ACFTA on People’s Republic of China–ASEAN Trade: Estimates Based on an Extended Gravity Model for Component Trade 

      Sheng, Yu; Tang, Hsiao Chink; Xu, Xinpeng (Asian Development Bank, 2012-07-01)
      This paper uses an extended gravity model to shed light on the impact of the free trade area agreement between the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) and the People's Republic of China (PRC) on the members‘ trade flows and trade patterns. New determinants that capture the rising importance of global production sharing and intraregional trade in parts and components in East Asia are ...

      The Rise of the “Redback” and the People’s Republic of China’s Capital Account Liberalization: An Empirical Analysis of the Determinants of Invoicing Currencies 

      Ito, Hiro; Chinn, Menzie (Asian Development Bank Institute, 2014-04-07)
      We investigate the determinants of currency choice for trade invoicing in a cross-country context while focusing on the link between capital account liberalization and its impact on the use of the renminbi (RMB). We find that while countries with more developed financial markets tend to invoice less in the US dollar, countries with more open capital accounts tend to invoice in either the euro or ...

      Dynamic Transition of the Exchange Rate Regime in the People’s Republic of China 

      Yoshino, Naoyuki; Kaji, Sahoko; Asonuma, Tamon (Asian Development Bank Institute, 2014-04-25)
      This paper analyzes the optimal transition of the exchange rate regime in the People’s Republic of China (PRC). How the PRC can successfully reach the desired regime—whether a basket peg or floating regime—from the current dollar-peg regime remains a major question. To answer it, we develop a dynamic small open-economy general equilibrium model. We construct four transition policies toward the ...
