In terms of academic construction, Chinese Fiscal Studies led by Prof. Yang Canming, the director of the base, was selected as one of the first batch of Chinese economics textbooks, and the validation meeting for the interdisciplinary degree in "income distribution" was successfully held. In terms of scientific research, 5 national and 11 provincial and ministerial level projects were awarded, 8 Chinese papers of category A and 10 Chinese papers of category B were published, 13 foreign papers of category Q1 and 9 foreign papers of category Q2 were published, and the researcher of the base, Mr. Li Wenjian, was officially published in the top international Journal of Public Economics. Professor Yang Canming, the director of the base, formally proposed the concept of four distributions and published it in the weekly magazine National Governance. In terms of base construction, the Centre for Science and Technology Policy and Strategy Research and the Centre for International Exchange and Cooperation Research were established one after another, and four research-oriented teachers were introduced. In terms of think tank construction, the case of "Survey and Dynamic Monitoring of China's Resident Income and Wealth" was selected as one of the reference cases of China's high-end think tanks, and a report on the survey of China's resident income and wealth distribution in 2020 was released. Four research results were approved by provincial and ministerial leaders.
  In 2021, under the leadership of Director Professor Yang Canming, IIDPF has taken another big step forward in its development, and we believe that with the joint efforts of everyone, the vision and goals will be achieved soon!
