China has been undergoing a dramatic transition from a planned economy to a market economy. The market-oriented institutional reforms, removing many constraints for factor movement, aim to reallocate resources more efficiently and promote economic growth. The first essay develops a unified framework to decompose overall economic growth into three components: increases in inputs, technological improvements, and structural changes. The empirical results show that structural changes have contributed significantly to the rapid growth of Chinese economy by reallocating resources from low productivity sectors to high productivity sectors.

520 $a China has been undergoing a dramatic transition from a planned economy to a market economy. The market-oriented institutional reforms, removing many constraints for factor movement, aim to reallocate resources more efficiently and promote economic growth. The first essay develops a unified framework to decompose overall economic growth into three components: increases in inputs, technological improvements, and structural changes. The empirical results show that structural changes have contributed significantly to the rapid growth of Chinese economy by reallocating resources from low productivity sectors to high productivity sectors.
520 $a Rapid industrial development and population growth transfers more and more land away from agricultural production, threatening China's capability to feed itself. The second essay analyzes the determinants of land use by modeling arable land and sown area separately. An inverse-U shaped relationship between land use intensity and industrialization is explored both theoretically and empirically. The findings highlight the conflict between the two policy goals of industrialization and grain self-sufficiency in the long run. Several policy recommendations are offered to reconcile the conflict.
520 $a Given land allocations to crops and total inputs, a multi-output, multi-input production technology is estimated in the third essay, using the maximum entropy method, to further investigate the potential for growth in grain production. This method is particularly appropriate because it does not require price information, which is usually distorted in a centrally planned economy such as China. The empirical results suggest that China still has the potential for higher grain production by adopting more land saving technologies.
520 $a Not only does resource allocation affect economic growth and production, but it also has an impact on income distribution. The fourth essay develops a unified empirical framework for describing the relative contributions of rural-urban and inland-coastal inequalities to overall regional inequality. The observed patterns of income distribution can be explained effectively by the institutional restrictions on factor movement, such as inter-regional labor migration. The inter-regional labor migration. The related issue of regional polarization is evaluated to shed more light on how increased labor mobility has reduced regional disparities.
