Gerschenkron Redux? New Evidence on Shanghai's Pre-War Stock Exchange and Its Implications for the Chinese Economy at Present
Monday, April 13, 2015
4:00 PM - 5:30 PM
Bunche Hall 10383, UCLA
Talk by Niv Horesh, University of Nottingham, UK
China's break-neck growth over the past three decades might therefore arguably suggest that, at least in the post-war era, industrialisation could conceivably be achieved primarily through foreign investment and state-backed bank credit rather than through free and extensive equity markets. Perhaps there was an element of path-dependency, after all, in Deng's decision to seek massive investment from foreign firms by granting them sweeping preferential treatment in the 1980s. Under Hu Jintao, China groomed the Hong Kong stock market as a more attractive vehicle for mainland firm listing. That China was able to develop exponentially over the last three decades without stronger, free equity markets is incontrovertible. However, can China become a superpower without effective equity markets? In other words, could Gerschenkron's thesis prove partly correct in a post-Socialist setting even if economic historians are increasingly skeptical about that thesis' applicability to the early 20th-century?
Niv Horesh, an historian, is a Professor of Modern History of China and the Director of the China Policy Institute at the University of Nottingham, United Kingdom. His first book, Shanghai's Bund and Beyond, is the first comparative study of foreign banking in prewar China. The book surveys the impact of British overseas bank notes on China's economy before the outbreak of the Second Sino-Japanese War in 1937. Horesh's second book Chinese Money in Global Contex (Stanford UP 2013, Economics and Finance Series) makes for a China-centered examination of the evolution of money and finance around the word since the birth of coinage in Lydia and up to the present. |

The Carter Center will host a major forum May 6 and 7 on China's wide-ranging domestic and international reforms and their implications for U.S.-China relations.
The Atlanta symposium, which is open to the public and the press, is the sixth in the "World Forum on China Studies" series and the first to be held outside of China. The Carter Center and the Shanghai Academy of Social Sciences are co-organizers of the program. More than 30 respected Chinese and American scholars and policy researchers will exchange views on China's current reforms and future prospects in the political, economic, social, international affairs, and cultural sectors.
U.S.-China relations will figure prominently in the exchanges. Renowned Chinese international economist Justin Yifu Lin and veteran diplomat Zhaoxing Li, who served as Beijing's ambassador to Washington and as China's foreign minister, will offer special addresses at the meeting. On the U.S. side, influential U.S.-China analysts David M. Lampton of the Johns Hopkins University School of Advanced International Studies and Douglas Paal of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace will provide solo presentations.
Ambassador (Ret.) Mary Ann Peters, CEO of The Carter Center, and Madame Cui Yuying, vice minister of China's State Council Information Office, will offer welcoming remarks. "At the heart of the Carter Center's China Program is the constant exploration of our shared concerns, acknowledged differences, and the intellectual foundations of our nations' policies," Peters said. "We are delighted to cooperate with our friends at the Shanghai Academy of Social Sciences to bring this impressive roster of thinkers and policy advisors together at the Center to continue that vital discussion."
Forum details, including a detailed agenda, are available in English and in Chinese. Members of the public interested in attending the event should RSVP by April 29. Media representatives should contact : chanellliu@gmail.com |

Dear Dr. Jiang, Thank you for including me in your distribution list.
I have been serving on the Mt. San Antonio College Governing Board since 2002. I am committed in helping API educators in leadership positions. I am enclosing the APITA membership form for you to share. You are welcome to distribute it through your network.
California’s 112 community colleges educate over 2.1 million students a year which is more than any other state. Community college trustees are the only elected officials in the higher education in California. Together with thousands of administrators, faculty, and staff, community college trustees must ensure that students complete their degrees or certificates timely; receive adequate training for workforce; or successfully transfer to four year colleges.
The Community College League of California (“League”) provides the structure within which trustees and administrators work together on important policies, educational issues, and advocate for the benefits of students.
The Asian Pacific Islander trustees and administrators of the League have recently established the APITA Caucus to advocate issues critical to the education of Asian Pacific Islanders. The Caucus leadership has been elected and is committed in helping API students to achieve student success, developing an API administrators and trustees pipeline to increase future API leadership positions, and advocating issues of mutual concern by participating fully within the League.
The benefits of joining the Caucus are:
• Networking with other API trustees and administrators
• Meeting with legislators and decision makers to advocate our issues
• Share your concerns and issues about education within our new organization
PLEASE JOIN THE APITA CAUCUS by completing the attached application and following the attached Instructions with regards to payment of membership dues.
Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions. Sincerely,
Judy Chen Haggerty, Esq.
Membership Chair
APITA Caucus

Hi, Are you struggling to recruit and retain women in your STEM programs?
Then you’ll be extremely interested to hear that in less than a year, Professor Barbara DuFrain of Del Mar College was able to increase female enrollment in her intro to computer programming classes by 62%, and improve female and male retention by 45%.
Professor DuFrain is just one of the eleven presenters at the upcoming virtual conference “STEM Success for Women: Empowering Educators to Recruit and Retain More Women in STEM.” This virtual event is hosted by my colleague, Donna Milgram, Executive Director of the Institute for Women in Trades, Technology and Science.
Some of the other case studies you will hear over the course of the 12 sessions from April 13 – April 16 include…
•How one department chairperson was able to increase female enrollment in her college’s STEM programs by 95%
•How one professor improved retention of female engineering students by 42% in one semester in only 12 teaching contact hours
•How one professor increased the number of women who declared a computer science major from 11% to 46% by changing an introductory computer science course
Learn from these and other best practices during the Telesummit. This free event is completely online, and you can participate via phone or computer.
