Examining the Global Impacts of China’s Economic Slowdown

NBR’s Examining the Global Impacts of China’s Economic Slowdown project unpacks the factors driving slower economic growth in China and assesses the impacts for its international economic partners. The project explores how the slowdown is heavily influenced by PRC policy and strategy as well as by long-term structural factors. It also analyzes the implications of this slowdown for countries around the world, given the extensive global reach of Chinese trade and investment relationships, and how these impacts vary across different economies, sectors, and channels.

Under the leadership of Principal Investigator Arthur Kroeber, and in partnership with AidData, the project has produced unique quantitative modeling and data-driven econometric analysis. Its findings are supported by five country-specific case studies that delve into the effects of the slowdown on a geographically and economically representative set of countries: Germany, Nigeria, Brazil, Indonesia, and Paraguay.

The project’s research findings have been published in an NBR Special Report, as well as in country-specific policy case studies.
