Hong Kong: The Fragile Economy of Middlemen

Henry Wan and Jason Weisman

Review of International Economics, 1999, vol. 7, issue 3, 410-30

Abstract: The paper shows that standard trade models can be adapted to address crucial policy issues in our dynamic, imperfect-information world. It also shows that intermediated trade is essential to the modernization of the 1.2 billion-person Chinese economy; yet, notwithstanding sincere intentions in Beijing and Hong Kong, subtle changes may deny Hong Kong its irreplaceable catalyst role, leaving China ultimately to technical stagnation.
