Xiamen University was founded in 1921 by Mr. Tan Kah-Kee, a well-known oversea Chinese patriot. The university is located on the resort-like island of Xiamen which has a reputation of Garden over the Sea and has direct flights to many major cities in Asia. Thanks to the contribution and influence of the late president, Professor Wang Yanan, a prominent economist who first translated Adam Smith’s Wealth of Nations and karl Marxs Das Kapital into Chinese, economics study in Xiamen University has been among the very top programs in China. The Wang Yanan Institute for Studies in Economics (http://www.wise.xmu.edu.cn) is a recent effort of the Ministry of Education of China and Xiamen University to build a first class research institute and facilitate domestic and international research and academic exchanges.
Center for Economic Research was founded in June, 2001. “Cheung Kong Scholar” Professor Dr.Huang Shao-an is the president. The predecessor of CER was the Research Institute of Property Rights of Shandong University, which was founded in 1996. It’s an independent institution of scientific research and graduate student cultivation,which is directly subordinate to Shandong University.CER has an excellent scholar team which is young and creative. We have a lot of scholars to do research here.Many have made great elementary research achievements in the broad area of economic theory, namely, decision theory, game theory and general equilibrium theory, and other related fields.
