Professor Bai has won the National Excellent Textbook Award and the first prize of China’s Excellent Textbook for Universities and Colleges Award. His publication Comparative Banking laid the foundation for the theoretical system and framework structure of this discipline, and put forward the theoretical concept of "banking system", which covers nine related elements in Finance, including financial development strategies, organizational forms, framework structures, division of labor, supervision and management, construction methods, operating mechanisms, operating environment (including economic environment, financial and social environment), and overall effects in various countries.
