Traditionally, Comparative Advantage had been the foundational logic that best frames the understanding of trade. A second alternative, that focuses on the Advantages of Specialization, offers an argument for the opening of markets that commands relatively more public support. Neoclassical economics was derived on the basis of comparative advantage because it allowed for constant returns postulate, without which a competitive economy seemed impossible. Only in the 1980's and 1990's, attention was directed to Adam Smith's emphasis on specialization and the size of the market. Modern analyses, not only demonstrates compatibility with competitive organization, but also identify sources of endogenous growth. These modern developments have been systematically presented in Xiaokai Yang's treatise, Economics: New Classical versus Neoclassical Framework (Blackwell, 2001). The purpose of the workshop is to stimulate examination of this emerging research program, which young scientists will not have encountered in their textbooks or in orthodox training. The workshop will expose them to Professor Yang, and to a critical evaluation of his treatise, in the expectation that they will, themselves, shift some of their interests to "generalized increasing returns" and its implications.

传统上，比较优势一直是最好地构建对贸易理解的基本逻辑。第二种选择侧重于专业化的优势，为开放获得相对更多公众支持的市场提供了理由。新古典经济学是在比较优势的基础上衍生出来的，因为它考虑到了恒定回报假设，如果没有恒定回报假设，一个有竞争力的经济体似乎是不可能的。只有在1980年的《S》和1990年的《S》中，人们才注意到亚当·斯密对专业化和市场规模的强调。现代分析不仅证明了与竞争性组织的兼容性，而且还确定了内生增长的来源。这些现代发展已经在杨晓凯的论文《经济学：新古典与新古典框架》(Blackwell，2001)中系统地呈现出来。研讨会的目的是促进对这一新兴研究计划的审查，年轻科学家在教科书或正统培训中不会遇到这种情况。研讨会将让他们接触到杨教授，以及对他的论文的批判性评价，期望他们自己将一些兴趣转移到“广义收益递增”及其影响上。
