Contents Introduction

This research note is a supplement to The Conference Board’s report to the International Center for East Asian Development (ICSEAD). It describes our efforts in developing an assessing a longitudinal panel of data on China’s industrial firms. The National Bureau of Statistics China and The Conference Board are working towards this goal for China. In this project the team of researchers made considerable progress in setting up such a database. We document both our progress and also the challenges that lie ahead. We also offer some very preliminary results on economy-wide job flows in China.
