On December 7, the Third Camphor Tree Industrial Economics Forum was hosted by the Institute of Economics and Social Development at Nankai University.
The forum brought together over 100 experts and scholars from prestigious universities and research institutions, including Nanjing University, Jinan University, Renmin University of China, Nankai University, Sun Yat-sen University, Shandong University, Lanzhou University, China University of Political Science and Law, Chinese Academy of Fiscal Sciences, and Central University of Finance and Economics.
This year’s forum continued the Camphor Tree Economics Forum’s tradition of maintaining a low-key and pragmatic academic style. It aimed to provide a high-level, professional platform for young economists in China to exchange ideas, focusing on newly completed working papers and unpublished research in the field of industrial economics. The forum also served as a high-quality, public academic exchange and collaboration platform for industrial economics across universities nationwide.
The forum featured five parallel sessions, where participants engaged in lively discussions on the following themes:
National Unified Market and Industrial Structure Upgrading
Digital Economy, Technological Progress, and Sustainable Development
Intelligent Manufacturing, Innovation Cooperation, and Supply Chain Resilience
Data Factors, Opening-Up, and Enterprise Decision-Making
Artificial Intelligence, Factor Clustering, and Industrial Transformation and Upgrading.
These sessions fostered in-depth exchanges on cutting-edge topics and promoted collaboration among scholars in the field of industrial economics.
The Camphor Tree Industrial Economics Forum is a series of specialized seminars jointly initiated by the Camphor Tree Academic Platform in collaboration with the School of Economics at Nanjing University, the Institute of Economics and Social Development at Nankai University, and the Institute of Industrial Economics at Jinan University.
This year’s forum was hosted by the Institute of Economics and Social Development at Nankai University and received strong support from prominent journals such as Tianjin Social Sciences and Nankai Economic Studies.
