Summary "Over the last three decades, the growth of China's economy has relied on massive mobilization of resources. Chinese policymakers are now concerned with whether economic growth will continue to be sustainable in the future This will depend on the performance of productivity, and the extent to which it reflects innovation and technological change. This issue is becoming increasingly relevant as China's economy continues to grow. This book provides a comprehensive and unique overview of productivity and efficiency at both the national and regional level in China, and also investigates the role of information and communications technology (ICT) investment in productivity and economic growth in China. The book includes a wide range of valuable research results on capital stock and ICT capital estimates, and will act as an essential resource for scholars in this important and topical area."--BOOK JACKET
