Chapter 792: An Incomparably Huge Research Topic
"Chinese, why do you say that?"
Harris asked puzzled, sticking out his tongue and licking his oily hands, this sloppy little fat man, who became a tech nerd in his teens, is no one else. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Han Xuan replied to him: "I have the impression that only Chinese parents attach so much importance to their children's learning, and American parents never care."
We Chinese parents believe that when children are young, nothing is important, only reading is the most important, and knowledge will have a high status in society in the future.
This is a concept left over from thousands of years of traditional culture, which cannot be changed for a while, but it is a pain for children, and there is no childhood time to play. ”
"I know this, it's called everything is inferior, only reading is high!"
Isabelli showed off a sentence of Chinese, learning language with her IQ is really perverted, after learning general Chinese, she is already reading poetry and classical Chinese, and the difficulty of Chinese is not reflected in her at all.
"It seems that in ancient times, only scholars could be officials, and their status was higher than that of merchants, so many people spent decades or even a lifetime just busy studying, right?
Isabelli asked him with a smile, since she met Han Xuan, Isabelle began to try to understand Chinese culture, and the understanding here probably refers to reading all the books on Chinese history in several libraries of Brown University......
"That's right, although times have changed, their way of thinking has not changed, there were champions in ancient times, and now there are universities. Han Xuan put on transparent thin gloves, picked up a chicken leg and sprinkled it with chili powder, and said in his mouth.
"Let's go, Han.
I don't want to be in his room at all, so let Harris slowly decay with this garbage.
I've been having a bit of a problem lately, and you just happened to be back, maybe you can help me, I've been dying of annoyance lately. ”
Isabelle pulled Han Xuan out and went downstairs to Principal Gregorian's study.
Han Xuan found that the old principal's former neat and clean study was now full of books on the brown wooden floor, and he bent down to pick up one casually, with "Linear Programming Essentials" written on the cover and "The Permanent Income Hypothesis" written on the other.
These are the theories that the Nobel laureates have addressed in previous years, as well as The Theory of International Trade and International Capital Flows, and The National Income Accounting, written by John Charlid Nicholas Stone, the father of national economic statistics.
It's all about economics, and there are four or five hundred books.
Isabelli studies everything, but is not proficient in anything, Han Xuan has long been used to it, she always reads some messy books.
Ask Isabelle, "You borrowed these books?"
What have you been busy with lately, do you want to be an economist?"
"I'm busy improving the lives of the poor, and after taking a few courses on economics recently, I created a project on my own, hoping to study the relationship between consumption, poverty and welfare.
It's a bit difficult to do this project alone, so I hope you can help me, you should be very talented in this area, after all, you are a student of economics. ”
“…… Who else is participating?"
"It's just you and me for the time being, I haven't found a suitable person yet, I knew I should have made more friends. ”
Isabelli sat cross-legged and read a book in her hand, and on the whiteboard next to her, she wrote dense economic formulas with a black pen, such as =c+v+m,
mr=mc、
y=c+i+g+(x-m)、
ui(s1*,… s*i-1,si*,s*i+1,… ,sn*)≥ui(s1*,… s*i-1,si,s*i+1,… , sn*) and so on.
She's studying economics.
Each of them is a world-famous economic formula, and Han Xuan only knows them briefly and knows what problems can be solved with them, but he doesn't know too much.
At the moment, what Isabelli wanted to study was an incomparably large microeconomics project composed of several projects, and she actually wanted to pull the two of herself to complete it.
Not to mention that neither of them specializes in economics, even if the most senior economics professor at Brown University is hired to complete this topic, it will take countless time, energy, and financial resources, and it may not be able to study it perfectly.
The analysis of this topic requires the use of incomparably large survey data involving millions of people, the analysis of the economic situation of each region, and the relationship between income, health, and welfare, which also requires advanced mathematical knowledge to model and analyze.
If this project is completed, it will almost win the Nobel Prize in Economics.
Han Xuan put his hand on Isabelle's head and asked, "Are you crazy?"
I used to study physics and astrophysics, but why did I switch to economics?
Isabelli slapped his hand away and said dissatisfiedly: "Those machines that require precision, and I can't enter some of the world's top physics laboratories for the time being, so I want to shift my research direction to economics first."
Don't you think it's meaningful to improve the lives of the poor?"
"Not at all.
Assuming that the total value in the capital market remains unchanged and the benefits distributed to the poor are more, the income of our business will decrease.
Do you think I'd agree with saying something like this to a black-hearted businessman?
On the issue of welfare, it will definitely involve the issue of narrowing the gap between the rich and the poor, and I like the gap to be even bigger. ”
Han Xuan said jokingly.
"Don't you have enough money.
I really don't understand what you rich people think, your family's money is enough for you to spend a few lifetimes.
You must know that there are still many places in the world where residents do not have enough food and clothing, and in some African countries, the average life expectancy is less than 40 years. ”
"But you can't change the status quo by doing this.
It's not up to me to say it alone, the world is controlled by the top, for example, your grandfather, who is also one of them, I think you should know very well. ”
"I despise you, and I despise my grandfather.
But you don't seem to understand what I really mean, and I'm going to study welfare, poverty and the economy at the national level to improve people's quality of life and happiness.
It's not that you can live well with money, and although happiness and money are proportional to a certain extent, they are by no means all ......"
Han Xuan asked her, "Have you read all these books?"
"Yes, I have a lot of time, and it took me half a month to read it. ”
Isabelle could also remember it, and after reading it, it seemed like a trivial thing to her.
Han Xuan can also do this, so he is not surprised, thinking about it for more than ten seconds, he thinks that he can complete it, and says, "Yes, I promise you."
Anyway, it's boring in school, it's actually good to find something to do, there are more than three people, let's use it to challenge for the Nobel Prize in economics, where do we start?"
Isabelle rolled her eyes: "Please read these books first, the Nobel Prize is too far away, don't dream for the time being."
This is only a part, and there are many more in the library of the Department of Economics.
I'm going to borrow books now, maybe we should find someone to help us drive, last time a few seniors helped, and it took several times to move back. ”
"Come along, I have a driver's license and a car. ”
“...... Paid for a driver's license?"
"Die!"

I heard that in order to urge me to update, you also plan to set up a "Liangchen Urging Party" in the [Huaxia] area of "Longwu 2"? I always want to make a big news, I really want to see what will happen on September 23rd! )
