He elaborated on the two innovative points and the empirical analysis in his research. For example, the connotation of effective energy subsidies was clearly defined, based on the theory of energy economics; the non-parametric additive regression model featuring in data-driven approach was constructed, based on the basic principle of additive model.
After their sparkled speeches, questions and doubts were raised. Teachers and students present had a heated discussion. This forum drew to its close with great expectations.
