The Great Divergence Revisited: China’s GDP Per Capita from 2 to 1368 AD and the Impact of Institutional Changes under Nomadic Regimes
My name is Zhao Dong, I am a third year DPhil in Economics student from the University of Oxford. My thesis title is ‘The Great Divergence Revisited: China’s GDP Per Capita from 2 to 1368 AD and the Impact of Institutional Changes under Nomadic Regimes’. I would like to express my sincere gratitude to the EHS for providing me with the funding that significantly aided my research. This support was instrumental in my efforts to collect primary and secondary sources concerning economic records from the Han Dynasty to the Mongol Yuan Dynasty in imperial China.
