• The impacts of structural transformation and industrial upgrading on regional inequality in China (2014, background): “It may be due to the ‘Campaign to Open up the West’ which was launched in 1999 to stimulate economic development in the western provinces (for details of the campaign and its impacts, see Goodman, 2004, and Golley, 2007).”
