China has sustained her high growth rate at approximately 10 percent annually during the last three decades. China is a unique case study which enables researchers to investigate the reasons behind her high growth rate. In addition to that sustaining a high growth rate over three decades, China also has maintained a relatively high share of manufacturing sector in GDP, which sets apart from the experiences of developed countries, and other developing countries which are still in transition like China. Most of the researchers associate China’s high growth rate to the high saving rate of Chinese people, and thus high capital accumulation. In fact, China’s high accumulation rate is not only due to high saving rate of Chinese people, but also the government’s. In this thesis, we will explain the reason of Chinese high share of manufacturing output in total output with infrastructure investment of government. Since China is a developing country, China needs the infrastructure investment of the government. In this thesis, we examine the long run growth and structural change experience of the Chinese economy with and without the incorporation of government infrastructure investment by using the three sector Ramsey growth model. The contribution of this thesis into the literature is the explanation of high manufacturing share of China with infrastructure investment of government.

The transformation of the Chinese state and its role in the economy during the reform period: the sustaining state ownership / Ataçay, Meryem Nergis; Topal Yılmaz, Aylin; Department of Political Science and Public Administration (2014) China’s reform period which began in the late 1970s has been attractive both for the developing countries in the sense of taking the Chinese economic development as a model and the developed countries because of the new strategic position China has gained in the global power relations as a consequence of its economic growth, while the academic interest has also been rising. Focusing on the Chinese state as one of the most important actors of the reform process, without treating it as controlling and shaping...
China in Africa: the rise of hegemonic power in the capitalist world-system? Adams, Mohammed Sanus; Tayfur, Mehmet Aftih.; Department of International Relations (2019) China’s rise as a dominant player in the capitalist world-economy is probably the most significant development of the 21st century so far. After a wave of reforms spanning more than a period of two decades, China is now the second largest economy in the world, behind the United States. Its economic renaissance has formed the basis of its new engagement with the rest of the world. Its resurgence in East Asia and beyond has positioned the East Asian nation as the heir apparent to the declining United States h...
Mapping out smart city initiatives in the Turkish context Can, Deniz; Balaban, Osman; Department of City and Regional Planning (2019) In 2008, urban population exceeded rural population for the first time in history due to rapid growth in urban areas. While urban population constituted only 34% of the world population in 1960, this ratio is projected to outpace 68% by year 2050. Constantly increasing population in cities becomes the main generator of social, economic and environmental values, thus creating a vicious cycle of migration to urban areas in pursuit of these generated values. Worldwide population increase trends in cities creat...
The bilateral j-curve of turkey for consumption, capital and intermediate goods Keskin, Gizem; Akbostancı Özkazanç, Elif; Department of Economics (2008) This study analyzes the J-curve effect for Turkey’s bilateral trade with her three main trading partners; Germany, USA and Italy, for consumption, capital and intermediate goods. The bounds test is used to test for cointegration among the trade balance, the real bilateral exchange rate, the real domestic income and the real foreign income. The results show that the real exchange rate is not a significant determinant of trade in the short run. In the long run, it is significant only for trade with USA in con...

Nergis (Orta Doğu Teknik Üniversitesi (Ankara, Turkey), 2016-8) In the reform period which began at the end of the 1970s, China has recorded high economic growth.
