Overview

Lai (economics, law, and planning, U. of Hong Kong, China) and Lorne (International Regional Development, China) present six chapters exploring institutional and economic issues of setting sustainable development regimes based in some mix of free market transactions and government regulation, largely focusing on issues of institutional design. Among the topics explored are a method of decentralized exchange of enforceable property rights as a middle ground between the market and the command economy, the importance of well functioning court systems, and the importation of urban planning models to economic modeling.
