　　The main research fields of Prof. Zili Yang focus on Resources and Environmental Economics, Economic Modeling, Applied Game Theory and etc. Cooperating with Prof. William D. Nordhaus, he has developed and constructed one of the most influential Climate Change Integrated Assessment models ------ the Regional Dynamic General-Equilibrium model of Alternative Climate-Change Policy (RICE) in the world.

　　In the lecture, taking the example of DICE/RICE , Prof. Yang introduced IAMs from the perspective of economics and analyzed limitations and applications of IAMs on the methodological level. He also explained the structures, principles and relevant applications of DICE, the evolutionary process from DICE to RICE and other knowledge in detail.
