Research

The centre’s research spans a broad range of fields, including development economics, international trade and globalization, monetary policy, technology and innovation, as well as energy economics and climate finance, all united by a shared focus on policy-relevant inquiry. Rather than pursuing abstract theory in isolation, the centre strives to generate evidence-based insights that can inform real-world economic policymaking.

In terms of research activities, the centre regularly hosts a China Lecture Series, along with thematic conferences and specialised workshops. These events bring together leading academics, policy practitioners, and industry experts to foster interdisciplinary dialogue and to bridge the gap between cutting-edge research and practical policy challenges.
