Features: Economics is the science that explains the economic world, using economic theory as a tool to interpret practical issues in economic development. To strengthen the cultivation of theoretical talents in economics at Northwest University, the Department of Economics and the Institute of Economic Growth and Econometrics organized the "Forum on Innovation in Modern Economic Theory and Methods." This forum was established by Ren Baoping and several other teachers, inspired by the renowned "Smith Forum" of Nanjing University School of Business. Professor Baoping, the head of the Department of Economics, conducted two years of postdoctoral research under the famous economist Professor Hong Yinxing at Nanjing University. He drew inspiration from the "Smith Forum" and, based on the talent cultivation base of Northwest University's Department of Economics, initiated the "Forum on Innovation in Modern Economic Theory and Methods" together with young teachers such as An Liren, Fan Wangbang, and Gao Yu. The forum meets every two weeks and has now been held for one year, with a total of 16 sessions. This book is a collection of working papers from the forum.
