Since 1978, China has issued a series of reform and opening policies to develop its economy and attract foreign capital. The purpose is to re-orient China's central planned economy toward a state regulated market economy so that China will be able to become a strong economic power by the next century. The economic re-orientation and policy changes in a country with one billion people are unprecedented. / In the process of the economic reform, the State Council (Central Government) formulates general principles and guide lines while most of the different reform policies are made by authorities of China's different municipalities, provinces, and autonomous regions. Policy changes were first initiated in the coastal areas and gradually spread to the other parts of China. Therefore, many differences exist in the forms of policies and degree of the reform. / The diversity of economic reform among these jurisdictions provides an opportunity for comparative policy study and analyses. This research is designed to show how policy changes by economic reform influences economic performance, and then cause changes in social benefits in the early stage of China's economic reform from 1978 to 1986. / Source: Dissertation Abstracts International, Volume: 50-12, Section: A, page: 4083. / Major Professor: Thomas R.
