Academic contribution

Academic road

In 1988, survival and development came out. In this famous work, Hu Angang systematically brought population, resources, environment, grain and other major issues into China's medium and long-term development system for research. In view of the guiding ideology of "eager for success" in economic development at that time, he pointed out that the restrictive factors in China's national conditions determined that China's modernization would be a long-term historical process of continuous quantitative accumulation and then partial qualitative change. China's modernization can only and must be a protracted war. Hu Angang also pointed out with foresight that it is impossible for China to choose the western traditional modernization development mode for the road of modernization. It can only find a new long-term development mode and explore a unique mode of productivity development in China according to China's national conditions.

In the middle of June 1993, the abstract of China's national capacity report, CO authored by Hu Angang and Wang Shaoguang, was published in Xinhua news agency, which once again aroused the high attention of the decision-making level and provided important background and reference basis for China's fiscal and tax system reform after 1994. Many of the seven suggestions in the report were adopted and implemented successively. This research has established Hu Angang's indisputable position in the academic circles, especially in the field of political economy in China.

In 1994, Hu Angang and others published the report on China's regional disparity, which pointed out that it is urgent to solve the problem of China's excessive regional economic disparity; one of the important functions of the central government is not to expand but to narrow the regional income gap; the way to narrow the gap between the rich and the poor is through the internationally accepted financial transfer payment system, equalization of basic public services and public investment The key distribution system of capital, etc. In February 1998, Hu Angang published a report on China's national conditions entitled "creating jobs for the people: China's unemployment problem and employment strategy". Premier Zhu Rongji and Vice Premier Wu Bangguo gave important instructions. After that, Hu Angang continued to put forward in March 1999 that China should choose the "employment centered" economic growth model.

On April 13, 2003, Hu Angang wrote the article "comprehensively and actively responding to the global SARS crisis", which was reported to the leaders of the CPC Central Committee and the State Council. This is an earlier report to the leaders of the Central Committee and the State Council on how to deal with the SARS crisis,
