Features: All the papers included in this collection, except one on research methods in economics, are based on the experience of China's reforms, studying the reform and transformation of the central planning economic system—public ownership property rights as well as government monopoly of the market. This has been the focus of the author's economic research for nearly two decades. The author's academic research has always been closely linked to two types of choices: on the one hand, continuously observing the diverse choices of people under planned public ownership, and on the other hand, continuously selecting economic theories that can explain these behaviors. This "problem-driven" academic habit makes the optional academic traditions and theories relatively concentrated in the center.
