Background
Development is an eternal theme of human society. As the largest developing country in the world, China is constantly working to promote its own sustainable development and gradually resolve the problems of unbalanced and inadequate development. At the same time, China is actively promoting the implementation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development by the G20, promoting inclusive development. China plans to reduce global inequality and imbalance, and improve the well-being of mankind all around the world by supporting industrialization in Africa and other developing countries, improving energy access, developing inclusive finance, and encouraging youth entrepreneurship.
To further study the issues on sustainable development and share the recent findings and new insights, the Paula and Gregory Chow Institute for Studies in Economics, Wang Yanan Institute for Studies in Economics, and School of Economics at Xiamen University jointly initiate a conference on “Frontiers in Sustainable Development Studies” and open a call for papers from scholars at home and abroad. The conference will be held at Xiamen University on November 2-3, 2024.

Rozelle also serves on the editorial boards of Economic Development and Cultural Change, Agricultural Economics, the Australian Journal of Agricultural and Resource Economics, and the China Economic Review.
His research focuses almost exclusively on China and is concerned with: agricultural policy, including the supply, demand, and trade in agricultural projects; the emergence and evolution of markets and other economic institutions in the transition process and their implications for equity and efficiency; and the economics of poverty and inequality, with an emphasis on rural education, health and nutrition.
Rozelle's papers have been published in top academic journals, including Science, Nature, American Economic Review, and Journal of Economic Literature. He is fluent in Chinese and has established a research program in which he has close working ties with several Chinese collaborators and policymakers. For the past 20 years, Rozelle has been the chair of the International Advisory Board of the Center for Chinese Agricultural Policy; a co-director of the University of California's Agricultural Issues Center; and a member of Stanford's Walter H. Shorenstein Asia-Pacific Research Center and the Center on Food Security and the Environment.
