Abstract

The primary mission of social science in China is to improve the understanding of the socio-economic transformation of China, engage social sciences worldwide and merge with mainstream Chinese intellectual traditions. This leads to issues involving the evolution of knowledge and the potential use of economic, sociological, and mathematical concepts therein, including supermodularity, symbolic interaction, concept lattices, the single-crossing property, and monotone games. The seminar will be loosely based on the distributed paper and additional papers available in Chinese.
