The Land Development Game in China
The book describes how land plays a central role in the rapid economic growth of a Chinese region (with the fictitious name of “Dragon County”). Concerned with grain self-sufficiency, the national government of China employs a central planning approach to control the amount of farmland to be converted to urban uses each year. However, the scarcity of land development rights creates high incentives for various local players to evade national policies. Supported by a large number of specific examples, the book illustrates how local players adopt many kinds of strategies to engage in informal land development, and how the national government maneuvers its policies such that both farmland protection and economic growth objectives are achieved. The story of Dragon County, though not necessarily representative of other Chinese regions, suggests that the existing land system has worked reasonably well in promoting land use efficiency and economic growth at the same time, but the distributional problems created reflect a strong need for changing the rules of the game.
Associated Sequences, Demimartingales and Nonparametric Inference
This book gives a comprehensive review of results for associated sequences and demimartingales developed so far, with special emphasis on demimartingales and related processes. Probabilistic properties of associated sequences, demimartingales and related processes are discussed in the first six chapters. Applications of some of these results to some problems in nonparametric statistical inference for such processes are investigated in the last three chapters.

Unforgettable Years
Summary This memoir by Mingqing Wu, a former researcher at the Institute of Geochemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences, chronicles his extraordinary life journey. Born in a remote village in Guizhou, China. The author experienced significant historical events such as the Anti-Rightist Movement, the Great Leap Forward, the Three Years of Economic Hardship, and the Cultural Revolution. During this turbulent period, he worked as an educated youth in the countryside and later attended Guizhou University as a worker-peasant-soldier university student.
