Dual-Entity of Market Competition

<p>The relationship between the government and the market lies at the heart of Economics as a discipline. This title approaches this issue with a new lens termed mezzoeconomics—A branch of modern economics that mainly studies regional economic entities and the allocation of regional resources after they are generated.</p><p>Combining mezzoeconomic theory with practice in the light of China’s Reform and Opening-up the author analyzes the regional governments’ participation in market competition the dual entities (enterprises and regional governments) of market competition and a mature market economy featuring a strong form of effective government and efficient market. Three corresponding theories are proposed—the Regional Government Competition Theory the Dual-Entity of Market Competition Theory (DEMC) and the “Double Strong Forms” Theory. The author hopes that these theories of mezzoeconomics can build a new effective theoretical model and serve as a guidance for regional governments to reform and innovate their governance philosophy and policies.</p><p>This book will be of keen interest to students and scholars of economics and regional governance.</p>
