Remarks from the Award Committee

This paper presents a balanced mix between academic rigor and empirical relevance. The authors construct an extended overlapping generation model that explicitly takes human capital and government tax into account. The condition of balanced growth yields a solution that delivers various interesting predictions about aging, economic growth and fiscal policy. China data is also used in estimating an intuitive econometric model to support the conclusions from the extended overlapping generation model. It is found that aging is currently slowing down China’s economic growth. The authors suggest to decrease the size of government’s fiscal expenditure but to increase the share of educational expenditure.

In order to encourage high-quality economic research, China Economic Quarterly set up the Annual Best Paper Award since its inception.

Starting in 2010, the award is renamed as Dr. Werner Jackstädt Best Paper Award for Chinese Economic and Business Studies, and from 2014 the prize is set to RMB 40,000 yuan.

The winner is decided by majority votes on the nominated papers from the award committee, which is comprised of the four editors of China Economic Quarterly and Prof. Dr. Carsten Herrmann-Pillath from theEast-West Centre for Business Studies and Cultural Science, Frankfurt School of Finance & Management.

 

This award is financially sponsored by the Dr. Jackstädt Foundation and supported by The East West Centre for Business Studies and Cultural Science at Frankfurt School.
