Notes:

Chinese names are reversed to western name order, with surname last, to insure correct citation.

The list includes a number of studies on the U.S., often using better data to lay the methodological groundwork for subsequent research on China. It also includes a number of studies on India, resulting from comparative research on urban transportation, land use planning, and sustainable cities in the two countries.

A separate list is kept of project reports, conference papers, masters and undergraduate theses, Harvard Business School cases, magazine articles, op-ed pieces, and other documents produced by the China Project.
