The Research on the Transformation of Consumption Pattern to overcome the financial crisis

Now I am undergoing a research program The Research on the Transformation of Consumption Pattern to Overcome the Financial Crisis, supported by Social Science Fund of Sichuan province, which is mainly about how to increase the proportion of consumption to impel and stimulate the transmission of national economic growth mode which is over-reliance on investment and exports. The research is believed to be of great importance to the developing countries today since insufficient consumption puzzles the policy-makers at present. New Zealand, however, has a relatively harmonious development as far as consumption and investment are concerned.
