What Xiaotong didn't expect was that she just wrote the paper for graduation. She asked her elder brother to help optimize the mathematical model. As a result, after her graduation paper came out, it caused such a huge wave in the economic circle

The improved Bewley model Let's call it Lu Bewley model, which is far superior to the previous Bewley model in terms of calculation efficiency and accuracy of calculation results. It can be said that it provides a better choice for macro economists engaged in numerical research all over the world.

And it's not just that.

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

And a shot, let out such a big move!

In recent years, Bewley model has been the frontier research field of macroeconomics, especially regarded as a classic by some mathematicians of economics!

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

Although Lu Zhou did not name the improved model, the academia arranged his surname without authorization.

That is, Lu Bewley model!

Although Mingming is his graduation thesis, the limelight is completely robbed by his elder brother, Xiaotong is not discouraged, but quietly relieved.

Her level she is very clear, is absolutely unable to do this level of results.

It is precisely because of this that when she wrote down the work that no one was responsible for at the end of the paper, she also clearly stated that the mathematical model part was mainly completed by the land boat, and she was only responsible for the theoretical part and the work of collecting data.

Maybe it's because her name is in the second book, maybe it's because she's a little transparent. In short, after this paper was published, she didn't get any extra harassment.

As for Professor Forster, his tutor in the first position, according to the dean who helped him manage the mailbox, it was almost full of emails.

Now the middle-aged Professor, who is forty or fifty years old, is falling into the ecstasy of pain and happiness.

With the signature of a graduation application for such a heavyweight paper, this is probably the most successful "deal" he has made in recent years!

The only drawback is that the name of Lu Bewley model

……

Oxford University campus.

An office in the Department of economics.

In the face of BBC reporters, Professor foster stressed again and again in an angry voice.

"I disagree with the naming of the Lu Bewley model! As a work of this paper, I think I should at least add my name and at least one letter in the middle of this model! Otherwise it would be out of line! "

People are like this. When they know they can get more, they will not be satisfied with the status quo.

Although Professor Forster expected that this paper could catch fire, at least one "Econometrica" had no problems, but he didn't expect that it would catch fire to such a degree, which not only caused the topic discussion of the whole macroeconomics circle, but also attracted the attention of many tycoons he can only look up to in ordinary times!

Like Krugman

He highly praised the economist's theory in class, especially on international trade, which can be regarded as a subversive era, but he didn't expect that one day the giant would comment on his paper in the highlights section of Science

Yes, the Lu Bewley model in this paper is given to highlights by the famous "science". And it's this highlight that first used the name Lu Bewley model, so that now the whole economic circle has accepted that the model is called this name.

It made him angry as well as excited.

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

In the face of frantic foster like an enraged rabbit, BBC reporters tried to calm him down, but without any effect, they had no choice but to continue the interview.

“…… But Mr. Forster, according to an interview with a member of the Royal Academy of Sciences, the essence of this paper is mainly in mathematical models, and this part is done by Professor Lu Zhou independently. What specific contributions have you made to the completion of this model? "

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

"This Sometimes contributions don't have to be reflected in the lines of the paper, "Professor foster explained awkwardly in the face of a question from the BBC reporter." you know, in scientific research, especially in the theoretical field, the collection and interpretation of data are also very important. Especially the key is to introduce a strong cooperator to the research project, which is also part of the ability of a scientific research worker! "That's true.

Social skills are also part of scientific research.

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

After all, most scholars are quite homestead. If someone can pull two scholars who do not meet at ordinary times into the same project group, or even just provide two tycoons with an opportunity to drink afternoon tea together, it is not sure that they can all rub off brilliant sparks.

For example, Montgomery, who studies number theory, and Dyson, who studies physics, didn't interact with each other until they were connected by jovalla, a "master of communication" in Princeton.

However

After listening to Professor Foster's explanation, the BBC's reporter's face was embarrassed.

“…… But as far as we know, Professor Lu participated in this research mainly because her sister, Ms. Lu Xiaotong, is engaged in relevant research topics. "

Professor Foster said angrily, "that's enough! I'm her mentor! If I hadn't brought her into the door, would she have achieved what she has now? Go outside and ask, whose contribution is greater! "

The office is still chattering.

Even with the door closed and the curtains closed, Professor Foster's anger in the office could be felt from the trembling glass.

If it had been before, Xiao Tong might have been a little worried.

But now, in her heart, there was no emotion but a little relief and satisfaction.

The reason is not him, she has said goodbye to here.

Standing in the corridor outside, Ansley looked at her younger martial sister Xiaotong and said sincerely: "congratulations on your graduation Sometimes I really think your choice is right, but there are some things I can't say. "

Xiao Tong bent his mouth and said with a smile, "I know what you want to say."

Ansley shrugged her shoulders and made a funny look. "You know, someone's trying to argue, like a wretch."

His index finger raised his hair and sideburns, and Xiao Tong's face was smiling.

"I can't agree with you more."

Two women look at each other and smile.

After laughing enough, Ansley asked, "do you want to go somewhere?"

"No, I just want to go to Princeton, but I don't have a specific teacher to report," said little tongdun in a relaxed tone. "Anyway, I'm not in a hurry. I have a vacation time to think slowly, and I'll turn over papers in related fields by the way to see what interesting research direction there is."

"I also think you'd better think for a while and not make a decision in such a hurry," Ansley said seriously. "And you'd better wait for a while before he gives you a recommendation Now he's mad and jealous, and he can't tell what he's going to do. "

Xiao Tong said easily: "no, it doesn't matter whether there is a letter of recommendation or not. What's more, Professor Foster's character It's better to expect him to write a recommendation letter rationally than to expect me to win the first prize in the lottery tomorrow. "

She is not very worried about the letter of recommendation.

Although it's important, it's not decisive.

With an article "Econometrica" as a stepping stone, most professors will consider her application for a blog, even if it is not strongly recommended by her former tutor.

Ansley said with a smile: "it seems that you have made a plan, so I wish you in advance Happy new year in China. "

"Thank you."

Xiao Tong thanks politely.

Just then, the cell phone in her pocket suddenly rang.

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

Ansley: it's OK. Don't care about me

Turn out the mobile phone to look at the eye, click to open the unread email, but it's almost the moment when you click to open the email, Xiaotong is stunned there.

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

"What's the matter?"

"I......" Zhang opened his mouth and restrained the surprise in his heart. Xiaotong calmed down and continued, " It seems that I have received a letter from Professor Krugman. "

"Krugman? Paul Krugman of Princeton? " Ansley was a little shocked, then her face showed surprise and surprise, "God! Professor Krugman! I read his book the other day! Look, what did he say to you? "

"He said..." Looking up oddly, Xiao Tong continued in a voice that she couldn't believe. "He invited me to go to his blog If I haven't decided where to go. "

Ansley:
