What Xiaotong didn't expect was that she wrote that paper just for graduation, and asked her brother to go out to help optimize the mathematical model, but after her graduation thesis came out, it caused such a magnificent wave in the economics community......

Bewley model after improvement...... Terminating the Lu-Bewley model, it is far superior to the previous Bewley model in terms of computing efficiency and accuracy of calculation results, and it can be said that it provides a better choice for macroeconomists around the world who are engaged in numerical research.

And it's not just that.

People were surprised not only by the superiority of the Lu-Bewley model, but also by the fact that Professor Lu actually extended his hand to the field of economics!

And as soon as he made a move, he released such a big move!

In recent years, the Bewley model has been a cutting-edge research field in macroeconomics, especially by some scholars who have mathematized economics.

Now that a more powerful model is in front of them, how can they not be rejoicing?

Although Lu Zhou did not name the model of the improved couple, the academic community still arranged his surname without authorization.

Namely, the Lu-Bewley model!

Although it was obviously his graduation thesis, the limelight was completely stolen by his brother, but Xiaotong was not only not discouraged, but quietly relieved.

She knows her level very well, and she will never be able to achieve this level of results.

It is precisely for this reason that when she wrote at the end of the paper that she did not undertake the work that she did not undertake by herself, she also made it clear that the mathematical model part was mainly completed by Lu Zhou, and she was only responsible for the theoretical part and the work of collecting data.

Maybe it's because her name is on the second work.,Maybe it's because she's a little transparent.,In short, after this paper was published.,She didn't receive any unnecessary harassment.。

As for his mentor, Professor Foster, who was hanging in the position of Ichisaku, according to the senior who helped him manage the mailbox, he was almost crammed with a flood of mail.

Now this middle-aged professor in his forties and fifties is in a ecstasy of pain and happiness.

exchanged the signature on a graduation application for such a heavyweight paper, which is probably the most successful "transaction" he has made in recent years!

The only fly in the ointment is that the Lu-Bewley model is named......

……

Campus of the University of Oxford.

An office in the Faculty of Economics.

Facing the BBC reporters, Professor Forster said in an angry voice.

"I disagree with the naming of the Lu-Bewley model! As a part of this paper, I thought I should at least add my name in the middle of this model, at least one letter! Otherwise it's not in order! ”

People are like that, when they know that they can get more, they will never be satisfied with the status quo.

Although Professor Foster expected this paper to be popular, at least one of the "Econometrica" was not a problem, but he did not expect it to be so popular, which not only triggered a topical discussion in the entire macroeconomics community, but even attracted the attention of many bigwigs who he could only look up to on weekdays!

Like Krugman......

He admired the economist's theories in class, especially about international trade, which can be called subversive, but he didn't expect that one day this big guy would actually comment on his paper in the highlights section of Science......

Yes, the Lu-Bewley model in this paper was highlighted by the famous "science". And it was this highlight that used the name Lu-Bewley model for the first time, so much so that the entire economics community has now conventionally defaulted to the name of this model.

This made him excited and annoyed.

Just by looking at the naming of this mathematical model, you can't see that this research result actually has a part of it!

Faced with a thunderous Foster like an enraged rabbit, the BBC reporter tried to calm him down, but to no avail, so he reluctantly continued the interview.

“…… However, Mr. Foster, according to the statement of a member of the Royal Academy of Sciences in an interview, the essence of this paper is mainly in mathematical models, and this part was completed by Professor Lu Zhou independently...... What specific contributions did you make to the completion of this model? ”

As soon as this sentence came out, Professor Foster was stopped.

"This ...... Sometimes the contribution doesn't have to be between the lines of the paper," Professor Forster explained with an embarrassed expression in response to a question from a BBC reporter, "You know, in scientific work, especially in the field of theory, the collection and interpretation of data is also very important. It is especially important to be able to bring in a strong collaborator to a research topic as part of the ability of a researcher! ”

This statement is indeed true.

Social competence is also part of scientific competence.

In the academic world, there is even a kind of scientific research ability that is not strong, but can still produce some good research results because of its wide connections.

After all, most scholars are relatively homely, if someone can pull two scholars who usually have no intersection in the same project team, or even just provide an opportunity for the two bigwigs to have afternoon tea together, maybe they can rub a brilliant spark.

For example, Montgomery, who studied number theory, and Dyson, who studied physics, had nothing to do with each other before Princeton's "communicator" Jovara connected them.

However......

After listening to Professor Foster's argument, the BBC reporter had an embarrassed expression on his face.

“…… However, as far as we know, the main reason why Professor Lu participated in this research is because her sister Ms. Lu Xiaotong is engaged in related research topics. ”

It's like being poked in the ass by a burning stick. Professor Foster said irritably, "Enough! I'm her mentor! If I hadn't brought her through the door, would she have been where she is now? You go outside and ask who is making the bigger contribution! ”

The office was still chattering.

Even with the door closed and the curtains closed, you could feel the anger churning in Professor Foster's heart in the office from the trembling glass.

If it was before, Xiaotong might still be a little worried.

But now, there is no other emotion in her heart except for a little relief and pride.

For no other reason, she had already said goodbye here.

Standing in the corridor outside, Ansli looked at her junior sister Xiaotong and said sincerely, "Congratulations, you have successfully graduated...... Sometimes I really feel like you're making the right choice, but there are some things I can't say. ”

Xiao Tong curled the corners of his mouth and said with a smile: "I know what you want to say." ”

Ansley shrugged her shoulders and made a funny expression, "You know, somebody's trying to plead his case, like a poor worm. ”

The index finger lifted the sideburns next to his ear, and a smile appeared on Xiaotong's face.

"I couldn't agree more with you."

The two women looked at each other and smiled.

After laughing enough, Ansley asked, "Have you figured out where to go?" ”

"Not yet, I'm just thinking about going to Princeton, but I haven't figured out which teacher to apply for," Xiao Tong paused and continued in a relaxed tone, "Anyway, I'm not in a hurry, I still have a vacation time to think slowly, and by the way, I will flip down the papers in related fields to see if there are any interesting research directions." ”

"I also think you'd better think about it for a while and not make such hasty decisions," Ansley said earnestly, "and you'd better wait a while before he gives you a letter of recommendation...... Now he's angry, and he's mad with jealousy, and he doesn't know what he's going to do. ”

Xiaotong said lightly: "No, in fact, it doesn't matter if you have a letter of recommendation or not, let alone Professor Foster's personality...... It's better to expect him to be able to write a letter of recommendation sensibly than to expect me to win the jackpot of the lottery tomorrow. ”

She wasn't very worried about the letter of recommendation.

This thing is important, but it's not decisively important.

In cases where there is already an Econometrica as a stepping stone, most professors will consider her application for a PhD, even if it is not highly recommended by a former supervisor.

Ansley smiled and said, "It seems that you have already planned, so I will wish you in advance...... Happy New Year to Huaguo. ”

"Thank you."

Xiaotong thanked him politely.

At this moment, the mobile phone in her pocket suddenly rang.

"Wait a minute...... I wish I had received a message. ”

Ansley: "It's okay, don't worry about me. ”

I flipped out my phone and looked at it, and clicked on the unread email, but almost the moment I clicked on the email, Xiaotong was stunned.

Noticing the expression on her face, Ansley hesitated slightly and asked.

"What's wrong?"

"I'm ......" opened his mouth, restraining the surprise in his heart, Xiao Tong settled down and continued, "...... It seems to have received a letter from Professor Krugman. ”

"Krugman? That Paul Krugman of Princeton? Ansley was slightly stunned, and then a look of surprise and surprise appeared on her face, "Oh my God! It's Professor Krugman! I just read his book the other day! Look, what did he say to you? ”

He said......" Raising his head with a strange expression, Xiaotong continued in a somewhat incredulous voice, "He invited me to go to his place for a doctorate...... If I haven't decided where to go. ”

Ansley: "......??? ”
