商品簡介
With external demand for products decreased due to the recent economic crisis, the main way for Asian countries to maintain their rate of economic growth is to increase internal consumption. Focusing in particular on China, where private consumption makes up the smallest percentage of gross domestic product (GDP), this volume explores ways of increasing household consumption along with the possible employment consequences. Levels of personal and corporate saving are also considered, along with investment patterns. To better illustrate the data, tables and graphs regularly appear. The authors and editors all hold various positions at the International Monetary Fund (IMF). Annotation c2011 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
