SUMMARY:The Transition of a Rural Marketing System in Northern China: a Cas
 e Study of Hebei Province (1736-1937)
DESCRIPTION:\n	Zhang Wei (Assistant Professor\, Institute of Economics\, Na
 nkai University\; HYI Visiting Scholar)\n	Chair and Discussant: Elisabeth 
 Köll (Associate Professor\, Harvard Business School\; Visiting Professor 
 of History\, Department of History\, Harvard University)\n\n\n	This talk i
 s the first part of Prof. Zhang’s ongoing project\, Diversity in Regiona
 l Development: Research on Market Towns in Northern China (1736-1937). Pre
 vious research on trade and economy in preindustrial China has found that 
 the domestic market network was shaped by the market and the state\, formi
 ng a macro-regional division of labor. Even after China’s involvement in
  the new international trade order since 1850\, the domestic market was no
 t destroyed but rather altered and used by the emerging capitalist economy
 . Some scholars have argued that high integration with the world economy h
 as led to the integration of China’s peripheral provinces\, and have won
 dered whether this kind of order brought a new logic to economic developme
 nt. While an open port marketing system was a central endeavor in China’
 s economic history\, the transition of rural marketing systems is still ob
 scure\, especially in Northern China. This talk argues that the index of d
 ynamic spatial distribution of the density of market towns\, combined with
  the ratio of market town to standard town\, is useful to understand this 
 transition.
