三、研讨主题
主题1.Bottom-Up Institutional Change and Growth in China
内容简介：This paper investigates the role of bottom-up reforms in driving Chinas economicgrowth. Leveraging granular documentation from county-level gazetteers, we identify local reform events from 1976 to 2005, capturing de facto policy innovations and their diffusion. Our findings show that bottom-up reforms primarily drive growth through productivity improvements, while centrally sponsored reforms operate mainly through capital accumulation. Evidence from rm entry and structural transformation further corroborates the productivity-enhancing effects of bottom-up reforms. Notably, these reforms were more likely to originate in politically peripheral regions and the diffusion of these reforms was more driven by local conditions than centrally sponsored reforms.

主题2.Trade War and Technology Rivalry
内容简介：We develop a trade model with endogenous innovation and trade-facilitated technology diffusion to quantify the impacts of trade wars on global technology rivalry. In the model, trade policy shapes technological progress through (i) knowledge embodied in trade flows and (ii) firms' market size, which determines returns to innovation. We validate the model in the context of US export controls on China and calibrate it to match trade flows and patent citations across major economies. Counterfactual analysis yields three main results. First, U.S. export controls on China reduce technological progress in both countries: China experiences a sharp contraction in knowledge inflows, while the U.S. faces weakened incentives for R&D. Second, endogenous innovation and trade-facilitated diffusion substantially amplify the technological and welfare losses from the U.S. Liberation Day tariffs in China and other major economies. Third, optimal U.S. tariffs on China reflect a trade-off between curbing technology spillovers to China and sustaining domestic innovation incentives.
