China's Pearl River Delta: The World's Factory Floor

This article was originally published in the Development Bank Research Bulletin (DBRB) in May 2006. The Bulletin provided independent analysis on development banking, economic policy, and the global economy, with particular focus on China, India, and emerging market economies.

The DBRB was founded to bridge the gap between academic economic research and practical policy discussion, offering perspectives that drew from both development economics theory and real-world institutional experience.
