Abstract: Abstract Section 1 of this chapter discusses the change of roles and professional capacity building of Chinese economists in response to the challenges of economic reform. Section 2, through a brief account China’s economic reform process, describes how economists can influence the decisionmaking process of reform. Some comment is also made on their actual roles. Section 3 looks at Chinese economists’ special roles in promoting a pro-reform social consciousness, and section 4 provides an analytical review on institutional constraints and historical background to the limited roles that Chinese economists have played in economic reform in an international perspective.
