Research Centers
As a key brand activity of RUC in building new-type high-end think tanks, the “China Macroeconomic Forum”, since its initiation in 2006, has been successfully held for 34 sessions. The Forum combines the comparative disciplinary and talent advantages of RUC with the central government’s decision-making needs and social needs, the social power with the academic power, the real problems of China with global perspectives, and the profound ideas generated from research with scientific methodology. Its reports on China’s macroeconomic analysis and forecast are highly spoken of by CPC and state leaders. Such reports have also received great attention from the government sector and the society and exerted extensive social and international influence.
