Dr. Broadman's first appointment in the World Bank was Senior Economist for China Operations. In that role he led the Bank's lending operations and analytical work in China on state-owned enterprise reform, WTO accession, competition policy and corporate governance reform. Among numerous publications on the Chinese economy, he is the author of The Business(es) of the Chinese State, which was published as the lead article in the professional economics journal The World Economy.
