  Following the rapid development of blockchain, artificial intelligence and other high technologies, the digital revolution is in full swing and new technologies and big data are constantly impacting the traditional fiscal and financial system, which requires us to reform the traditional system and thus form a new future-oriented public fiscal and financial system. In the meantime, the 14th Five-Year Plan and the 2035 Vision of the Party have made a series of major plans to promote the common prosperity of all people.
  With the aim of understanding the role of new technologies, big data and other tools and methods in establishing a public finance and taxation system, and how a public finance and taxation system can help achieve common prosperity, the 2nd "New Technologies, Big Data and Public Finance Summit" (2021), jointly organised by Management World, IIDPF and the School of Public Finance and Taxation, will be held on 16 October 2021 at Zhongnan University of Economics and Law. We are now inviting papers from the economics community in China and abroad, and the authors will be invited to participate in the conference based on the results of the selection of papers.
