Features: Standing on the shoulders of giants – Lectures by Nobel laureates at Peking University, this book enables faculty and students to engage in face-to-face exchanges with economists worldwide, broadening their international perspectives and understanding the forefront of economic research. We have witnessed the rapid and steady development of China's economy in recent years. However, the implementation process has also given rise to various uniquely Chinese economic phenomena and issues, which have attracted the attention of economists globally. We believe that the research of world-renowned economists and their lectures at Peking University will further advance Chinese economics and contribute to China's economic development.
Standing on the shoulders of giants – Lectures by Nobel laureates at Peking University, features 14 lectures by eight Nobel laureates in economic sciences, including James Heckman, Robert Fogel, Douglass North, Robert Mundell, James Mirrlees, Amartya Sen, Joseph Stiglitz, and Vernon Smith. Through understanding the experiences and insights of these master minds, we hope to learn how to contribute to the development of economics and seize the opportunities presented to Chinese economics by the times.
