Using input-output data from China＇s National Bureau of Statistics （NBS）, this paper employs an input-output model for a systematic analysis of the driving forces behind China＇s economic growth between 1987 and 2007. The findings illustrate a few points. First, final demand including consumption, investment, and export, experienced a downward trend. The majority of the output derivative effect came from manufacturing industries, with a significant shift from light industries to heavy industries. Second, between 1987 and 2007 the structure of China＇s economy transitioned from dependence on domestic demand to export-driven growth. Third, China＇s economic growth was driven by final demands, but the driving force mix experienced fundamental changes. Lastly, this paper makes suggestions for China＇s economic growth model based on an empirical analysis.展开更多
