He is also one of the first writers in China to propose that the Constitution should be amended in accordance with the requirements of constitutionalism and market economy (1989) and that the Constitution should protect the right to private property (1999). Professor Li has contributed new drafting ideas to the legislative guiding ideology and legislative scope of the just-introduced Law of the People's Republic of China on the State-Owned Assets of Enterprises (2008). At the same time, he is also the earliest batch of domestic scholars researching law and economics. ‘Transitional Jurisprudence - Legal Interpretation of Market Economy’ breaks the disciplinary boundaries, putting forward that law research methods should integrate with economics research methods.
