Summary

The Chinese economy has experienced the most striking changes in the last two decades, with a structural transition from a centrally planned economy to a market oriented economy with a growth of GNP. The economic reform was the basis for a new industrialization mechanism that is responsible for a fast growth of production, mainly outside the planned segment.

This paper presents an econometric model that can be used for an analysis of the quantitative expansion of the non-planned activities and the qualitative changes of the state-owned enterprises.
