A study on the economic development of Chongqin

本课题主要研究重庆市经济发展的现状及存在的问题。通过这些研究，我们试图为重庆市的发展提出政策建议。在第一年，我们调查了城市政府的经济政策。从第二年开始，我们将研究重点放在小企业发展领域和农业地区的劳动力领域。为了研究重庆市小企业的现状，我们对重庆市的主要产业之一摩托车产业进行了调查。1999年，我们访问了六家摩托车制造商，其中两家是国有企业，其余四家是私营企业。2000年，我们访问了供应零部件的小企业，并调查了制造商与供应零部件的小企业之间的交易关系。这些研究的结果在我们的报告小册子的第1章至第8章中报告。为了研究农业地区，我们走访了重庆市邻近的农业城镇，调查了这些地区的劳动力转移情况。研究发现，重庆市并没有出现农区向工业区转移的现象。大多数农民到沿海地区去找工作。本研究的详细信息见第9章和第10章。第11章报告了农业地区的贫困问题。这个研究项目的一个特点是，我们不仅研究经济发展，而且研究社会发展。环境问题是重庆市面临的最严峻的问题之一。另一个严重的问题是国有企业的大量失业。这些研究的结果在小册子的第12章和第13章中报告。我们邀请重庆的研究人员到摩托车制造厂和食品工业工厂进行实地考察，为重庆经济的发展提供了有用的信息。

In this research project, we investigate the present situation of Chongqin economy and their problems to be solved. Through these studies, we try to propose development policies for Chongqin. In the first year, we surveyed economic policies of city govemment. From the second year we has focused our research in the field of small business development and the field of labor forces in farming area. To study the situation of small businesses, we surveyed motor cycle industry that is one of the main industries in Chongqin. In 1999, we visited six motor cycle manufacturers and two of them are state owned companies and remaining four are private companies. In 2000, we visited small businesses that supply parts and surveyed transactional relationship between manufacturers and parts supplying small businesses. Results of these studies are reported from Chapter 1 to 8 in our report booklet. For a study of farming area, we visited neighboring farming towns of Chongqin and surveyed moving of labor forces in those area. We found that there are not moving from farming area to industrial area inside Chongqin city. Most farmers go to coast area to find jobs. Details of this study are reported in Chapter 9 and Chapter 10. In Chapter 11, the problem of poorness in farming districts are reported. One of the feature of this research project is that we investigate not only economic development but also social development. One of the most serious problem in Chongqin is to solve environmental problem. Another serious problem is a large number of unemployment in state owned companies. The results of these studies are reported in Chapter 12 and 13 in the booklet. We invite our coresearchers from Chongqin and they visited motor cycle manufacturers and factories of food industry and got usueful information to develop Chongqin economy.
