The National School of Development (NSD) at Peking University is a comprehensive college that offers a multidisciplinary environment for teaching and research in economics, management science, and public policy. Its predecessor, the China Centre for Economic Research (CCER) was established in 1994 by Professor Justin Yifu Lin and five other overseas-trained economists. Following its expansion of teaching and research, CCER was renamed the National School of Development in 2008.

The NSD has a strong faculty featuring domestically and globally recognized scholars such as Justin Yifu Lin, Qiren Zhou, Wen Hai, Weiying Zhang, Guoqing Song, Weifang Min, Yang Yao, Yiping Huang, Gordon Liu, Ling Li, Yaohui Zhao, and Jun Fu. The NSD upholds Peking University's values of inclusiveness and academic freedom; it promotes socially meaningful research in economics, management science, and public policy, and is committed to contributing to China's economic and social progress.

The NSD is China's leading institution that combines teaching, research and policy advising. It is an integral part of Peking University's drive to become a world-class university.

NSD's faculty has published numerous academic papers in domestic and international journals. Many professors are China's leading scholars in their respective fields. The CCER is an internationally recognized networking center for academic exchanges.
