 China Development Institute (CDI) was established in February 1989 upon the approval of State Council as a think tank for research and consulting. It is engaged in economic policy studies and provides economy-related consulting services to government at all levels, to businesses and to other public organizations. Adhering to a spirit of reform and innovation, the institute is manned mainly by young and middle-aged researchers and engaged in economic research and consulting with a preference for the new framework-geared to the market economy-over traditional ones.
Throughout its history, CDI has probed into the leading issues in Chinese economic reform, thus forming a solid platform for further research and studies in China's macroeconomic policy; the southern China, Hong Kong and Macao economies; international economic strategy; China's corporate system; and enterprise reform. CDI has also taken a major role in corporate consulting: Dozens of large domestic and foreign enterprises and public organizations enjoy the institute's consulting service in their economic decision making process and for investment, financing, management, accounting and marketing.
The institute has an extensive cooperation and exchange network with many domestic and international research institutions and consulting firms, including joint PhD and MA in economics programs with the prestigious Tsinghua and Nankai universities, which enables CDI to be a training center for senior talent in Southern China. |
