澳大榮譽博士劉遵義談全球經濟下的中國

澳門大學今(16)日舉辦“澳門大學榮譽博士講座”,由澳大榮譽教育博士、香港中文大學時任校長劉遵義以“全球經濟下的中國”為題發表演說,展示中國在當今全球經濟中的地位。講座吸引一眾學者、澳大師生、社會各界及公眾人士參與。

澳大校董會第二副主席禤永明致辭時表示,劉遵義現任香港中文大學藍饒富暨藍凱麗經濟學講座教授和史丹福大學李國鼎經濟發展榮休講座教授。他以卓越的學識和遠見卓識的教育方法而聞名,其對經濟發展、經濟增長和東亞經濟的貢獻亦受到推崇。1966年,仍為研究生的劉遵義開發了中國最早的計量經濟模型之一,其卓越成就使他當選為計量經濟學會院士。他撰寫、合著或編輯了17本書,並先後於國際學術期刊發表超過220篇文章。擔任香港中文大學校長期間,劉遵義推動大學邁向國際化。他積極參與成立五所新書院,還發起了香港中文大學(深圳)的建立。劉遵義與澳門也有深厚淵源。2005年,他協助創立何鴻燊博士醫療拓展基金會,旨在提升澳門的醫療水平。

講座上,劉遵義回顧了從19世紀早期到現在的中國經濟,以及自1949年中華人民共和國成立以來中國經濟的發展,並展示中國在當今全球經濟不同領域的地位。劉遵義提到,從1978年開始的中國經濟改革與開放,是全球經濟最重要的發展之一。自2000年以來,中國加入世界經濟體系後開始將全球經濟的重心,包括GDP、國際貿易、製造業增加價值、消費或財富,逐漸地從北美和西歐轉移到東亞,以及在東亞內部從日本轉移到中國,中國便同時成為“世界工廠”和“世界市場”。他提及中國在無形資本(人力資本和研發資本)的進步、以及人民幣在國際上的日益普及,中國的持續成長將進一步推動全球經濟中心向東亞轉移,對全球貿易、創新和氣候變遷產生重大影響。劉遵義亦對中國經濟到2050年作了一個長期展望,為在場人士帶來啟發。

問答及交流環節由澳大工商管理學院院長余俊主持,劉遵義與參與者交流互動,討論氣氛熱烈。
