? The "new normal" theory elaborated by Chinese President Xi Jinping was one of the hallmarks to be engraved in history by the 2014 Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) in Beijing. The Chinese Economists Society (CES) calls for paper submissions for its 2015 CES China Conference, to be held at Chongqing University, June 13-14 (Saturday and Sunday), 2015. The local hosts for the conference are Chongqing University Faculty of Social Sciences and School of Economics and Business Administration. The theme of the conference is “In the Context of ‘New Normal’ Theory: Deepen the Comprehensive Reform in China”. The conference features some well-known scholars, invited speakers, round table forums, and parallel sessions. Arrival and registration of participants will take place on June 12, 2015, Friday . All speeches and sessions will be held on June 13-14, 2015.
? This conference will promote exchanges of academic ideas related to the Chinese economy. This conference will also accept theoretical and empirical papers not directly related to the Chinese economy. It also provides an opportunity for Ph.D. students outside of China, who are interested in working in China, to learn about employment opportunities in China. We will invite Chinese universities to recruit at the conference for new faculty and pursue visiting opportunities in China for their faculty members. This conference also invites student participation by offering best paper awards and valuable opportunities for students to network with experienced scholars.
