Chapter 894: Lu-Bewley model

Shuwulou, the latest chapter of the black technology system of Xueba will be updated as soon as possible!
What Xiao Tong didn't expect was that she wrote the thesis just for graduation, and asked her brother to go out to help optimize the mathematical model. As a result, after her graduation thesis came out, it caused such a magnificence in the economics community. Waves ...
The improved Bewley model ... let's call it the Lu-Bewley model, which is far superior to the previous Bewley model in terms of computational efficiency and accuracy of the calculation results. It can be said that it is engaged in numerical direction research in the world Of macroeconomists have offered a better option.
And it's not just that.
People were surprised not only by the superiority shown by the Lu-Bewley model, but also by Professor Lu who actually extended his hand to the field of economics!
And as soon as I shot, I made such a big move!
In recent years, the Bewley model has been the frontier research area of ​​macroeconomics, especially regarded as a classic by some scholars who have mathematicalized economics!
Now that a more powerful model has been put in front of them, how can they keep them from rejoicing?
Although Lu Zhou didn't name the improved model, the academic community arranged his last name without authorization.
That is, the Lu-Bewley model!
Although it was his own graduation thesis that was completely taken away by his brother, Xiao Tong was not discouraged, but quietly relieved.
Her level is very clear to her, she can never achieve this level of results.
It is for this reason that when she stated at the end of the dissertation that she did not undertake any work, she also clearly stated that the mathematical model 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 in Erzuo, or maybe because she's a little transparent. After all, after this paper was published, she didn't get any extra harassment.
As for his mentor, Professor Foster, who was hung in a position, according to the dean who helped him manage the mailbox, it was almost crowded with mail.
The middle-aged professor, now in his forties and fifties, is falling into pain and joy.
I exchanged a signature on a graduation application for a work of such a heavyweight thesis. This is probably the most successful "transaction" he has made in recent years!
The only flaw is that the Lu-Bewley model was named ...
...
Oxford University campus.
An office in the Department of Economics.
Facing the BBC reporter, Professor Foster repeatedly emphasized with an angry voice.
"I have objections to the naming of the Lu-Bewley model! As a work in this thesis, I think that at least I should add my name in the middle of this model, at least one letter! Otherwise this is not the rule!
People are like this. When they know they can get more, they will not be satisfied with the status quo.
Although Professor Foster expected that this dissertation could be popular, at least one "" was not a problem, but he did not expect that it would be so popular. This not only triggered topical discussions in the entire macroeconomics community, but even caused some On weekdays, he can only look up to the attention of the big guys!
For example Krugman ...
He highly praised the economist's theory in class, especially about international trade, a subversive era, but he did not expect that one day he would be in the highlights of Science Comment on your thesis ...
Yes, the Lu-Bewley model in this paper has been highlighted by the famous "science". And it is also this highlights that used the name of the Lu-Bewley model for the first time, so that the entire economics community has conventionally defaulted the model to this name.
This annoyed and annoyed him.
Just by looking at the name of this mathematical model, I can't see that this research result actually has a part of him!
Faced with a throbbing Foster like an enraged rabbit, the BBC reporter tried to calm his emotions, but it had no effect and had to continue the interview helplessly.
"... But Mr. Foster, according to an academician of the Royal Academy of Sciences in an interview, the essence of this thesis is mainly on mathematical models, and this part was independently completed by Professor Lu Zhou ... What specific contributions have you made to the completion of this model? "
As soon as this sentence came out, he stopped Professor Foster.
"This ... Sometimes contributions don't necessarily have to be reflected in the lines of the dissertation," Professor Foster explained with embarrassment when asked by a BBC reporter. "You know, in scientific research, especially in the theoretical field, It is also very important for scientific research to collect and interpret data. It is especially important to be able to introduce a strong collaborator to the research topic, which is also a part of the ability of a scientific researcher! "
This sentence is true.
Social skills are also part of scientific research.
In the academic world, there is even a kind of weak scientific research ability, but it can still produce some good research results because of its extensive connections.
After all, most scholars are more dwellings. If someone can pull two scholars who do not usually meet in the same project group, or even just give the two big brothers a chance to drink afternoon tea together, maybe they can A brilliant spark was rubbed.
For example, Montgomery, who studies number theory, and Dyson, who studies physics. Before Princeton's "communicator" Giovara matched them, they had no intersection with each other.
however……
After listening to Professor Foster's excuse, the BBC reporter's face was awkward.
"... But as far as we know, the reason why Professor Lu participates in this research is mainly because her sister Ms. Lu Xiaotong is engaged in related research topics."
Like being burned to a fart by a burning stick, Professor Foster said irritably, "Enough! I'm her mentor! If I hadn't brought her into the door, would she have achieved what she is now? Just go outside and ask, who contributed more! "
The office is still chattering.
Even with the door closed and the curtains closed, you can feel the rage in Professor Foster's heart in the office from the trembling glass.
If it were before, Xiao Tong might still be a little worried.
But now, except for a little relief and pride in her heart, she has no other emotions.
The reason is without him, she already said goodbye here.
Standing in the corridor outside, Ansley looked at her sister Xiaotong and said sincerely: "Congratulations, you graduated successfully ... Sometimes I really think your choice is right, but there are some things I can't say . "
Xiao Tong smiled and said, "I know what you want to say."
Ansley shrugged her shoulders and made a weird expression, "You know, just like someone trying to argue, it's like a poor worm."
Forefinger lifted the bun in his ear, Xiaotong smiled.
"I can't agree more with you."
The two women smiled at each other.
After laughing enough, Ansley asked, "Where do you want to go?"
"Not yet, I just want to go to Princeton, but I haven't decided on which teacher to report," Xiao Tong paused and continued in a light tone. "I'm not in a hurry anyway, I still have a holiday Time to think slowly, flip through the papers in related fields, and see what interesting research directions. "
"I also think you'd better think about it for a while, and don't have to make such a hasty decision," Ansley said earnestly. "Also, you better wait for a while before letting him give you a recommendation letter ... now he is angry and jealous Crazy ~ EbookFREE.me ~ maybe he will do something. "
Xiao Tong said easily: "No, it doesn't matter if there is a recommendation letter, not to mention Professor Foster's character ... Expecting him to write a recommendation letter wisely, hope that I can win the first prize of the lottery tomorrow."
She was not very worried about the letter of recommendation.
Although this stuff is important, it is not decisively important.
In the case where there is already a "" as a stepping stone, most professors will consider her application for PhD, even if there is no strong recommendation from the former tutor.
Ansley said with a smile: "It seems that you have already planned, so I wish you in advance ... Happy New Year in Huaguo."
"Thank you."
Xiaotong is polite.
Just then, the cell phone in her pocket suddenly rang.
"Wait a minute ... I really want to receive a message."
Ansley: "It's all right, don't worry about me."
Flipping out of the phone and glancing at it, he opened the unread mail, but almost at the moment when he opened the mail, Xiaotong was there.
Noting the expression on her face, Ansley hesitated slightly and asked.
"what happened?"
"I ..." Opened his mouth, restrained the surprise in his heart, Xiao Tong calmed down and continued, "... it seemed to have received a letter from Professor Krugman."
"Krugman? That Paul Krugman of Princeton?" Ansley froze slightly, and then a look of surprise and surprise appeared on her face, "Oh my God! It's Professor Krugman! My first few days Genius has read his work! Take a look, what did he tell you? "
"He said ..." He raised his head in a strange expression, and Xiao Tong continued with a voice that he couldn't believe, "He invited me to read a blog with him ... if I hadn't decided where to go yet. "
Ansley: "... ????"
