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 around the world, broadening their international perspectives and understanding the cutting edge 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 unique economic phenomena and challenges specific to China, which have attracted the attention of economists worldwide. 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, this collection includes 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 masters, we hope to learn how to contribute to the development of economics and seize the opportunities presented to Chinese economics by the times.
