Abstract: It is difficult to define the forms of the economic law because of its diversified rules.However, if we recognize the consistency of the different functions of rules,and give appropriate impetus from the theory of layering the law,this difficulty will be overcome.By analyzing the function of the coordinate rules,economic law makes the different rules work together to achieve its legislative purpose,and combines the purpose rules with means rules and the public rules with private rules.So it is "the law for application" rather than the pure administrative law.Studying on the form of the economic law is beneficial not only to the differentiating it from the administrative law,but also to the discovering of the different ways for its structural regulation.
