Scholar’s Advanced Technological System

While it is true that the Ark did occasionally interact with some economists in Princeton before, it is not as familiar with everyone.

If you can't talk to him, he has to give you his name, remember?

Besides, Princeton was so big, he stayed only a few years, and he didn't necessarily see this fellow.

After searching carefully for the name he remembered, the Ark really didn't find anyone who could match him. It wasn't until he logged onto the academic query website that he entered the name that he found out exactly who this fellow was.

I don't know how to find it, but it's not too small.

Krugman!

Nobel Prize Laureate in Economics' 08!

Expert in international trade, exchange rates and macroeconomics!

One of the most illustrious aspects of his academic career was the successful prophecy in 1994 of the 1997 Asian financial crisis, which, after the outbreak of the Asian financial crisis, placed him in the field of economics on a day-to-day basis, leading directly to his subsequent award in 08.

But what made the ark wonder was why he contacted himself.

The message is probably asking him when he has time and wants to talk to his video face-to-face about academic matters.

Though not very interested in economics, after a moment of reflection, the Ark edited a letter back to the past.

[Today at 8: 00 pm, if you are free, we can talk.

After all, the same scholar who won the Noble Prize deserves a little face.

Anyway, he is also on vacation, he is also idle...

……

8: 00 p.m.

Krugman appeared in the footage of the video call at the agreed time.

The professor, who met for the first time, even omitted to introduce himself, almost just answered the video call and said in an impatient tone.

“You have no idea how important your research results are! ”

This sudden statement made me a little unclear, and the ark stunned slightly: "… I don't really know, or even quite know, which research results you are referring to… can you tell me? ”

Take a deep breath, Krugman explains.

“The Bewley model has always been a frontier in macroeconomics, your improvement model… I call it the Lu-Bewley model for now, which not only solves the problem of the large volume of Bewley model calculations and cumbersome steps, but most importantly reduces the random error of the model! ”

Bewley model?

Turns out it was Xiaotong's paper...

After hearing Professor Krugman's description, a sudden look finally appeared on the face of the ark.

However, it was only a short while ago that the expression of interest that Professor Krugman had expected did not appear.

Seeing that the Ark had not spoken, Professor Krugman thought that he did not understand what he was saying, so he cleared his voice and continued.

“Let's put it this way, stripping all the complex research into cocoons, the ultimate goal of economics is only two things: optimizing the efficiency of resource allocation, and reconciling the interests of society! If we can get a precise model, even as precise as possible, at the height of civilization, we can optimize the allocation of resources! From a personal perspective, we can even predict the future through economic activity! ”

Finally, there was a slight reaction to the word predicting the future, and the ark leaned back against the chair.

“That sounds incredible. ”

Laughing, looking at Professor Krugman on the other side of the video phone, the ark continued, “I don't know much about economics, but for chaotic systems... it seems like there's never been a mathematical model that can predict 100 percent. How do you predict the birth of controllable fusion technology, even if I can give you just one example? And how do we predict its impact on the global economy before it is born? ”

“I can't answer that question, but that's not the point," Krugman shook his head and continued, "I can tell you that technological progress can theoretically be summarized in models with R&D inputs, GDP ratios, etc., even if you can't understand it, I can clearly tell you that this is a Nobel Prize level discovery! As long as you continue your research on mathematical improvements to the Bewley model, I'm sure the Nobel Prize in Economics belongs to you! ”

“But… I've already won the Fields Prize," the ark shrugged, continuing, “the Nobel Prize has won one too. ”

The atmosphere in the video was awkward for a while.

Professor Krugman coughed softly and persuaded.

“Don't you want another one? This is the Nobel Prize...”

“For me, the Nobel Prize isn't as appealing anymore as it used to be," the ark sighed, "you know? Can you understand the feeling that I'm still interested in enough fascinating questions than I can be honored? Dear Professor Krugman. ”

“ …… ”

Krugman didn't want to take the call.

He even wants to throw the pen in his hand on the screen.

A young man in his twenties and he spoke of no pursuit of honor.

Well, even if this guy does deserve to say so, it's really pissing!

Take a deep breath and he tries to persuade.

“Is the Bewley model not enough to interest you? This is also an important enough dilemma! And hard enough! I can be very responsible for telling you that he can change the world more directly than any purely mathematical study ——”

“Not necessarily,” interrupted Professor Krugman, the ark laughed and went on, "and improving the Bewley model… or, as you said, the Lu-Bewley model, it only took me an hour in total, and it didn't look very difficult anyway. ”

One hour…

Krugman stunned there.

Instinct told him it was absolutely impossible, but the guy across the video didn't look like he was joking or lying.

To be honest, what's the good of lying to him?

In one hour, however, the Bewley model was improved to such an excellent level…

This is horrible!

“Well, here we are,” said Professor Krugman, unable to say a word. The ark looked into his eyes and struck a debt. “I'm sorry, but I can't help you much. Princeton has a lot of good math professors, maybe you can take my model and ask them for help. ”

“Well, goodbye. ”

Video call over.

Looking at the dark screen, Krugman silenced for a long time, stretching out his slightly trembling fingers and removing the glasses from the nose beam.

Always watching the conversation between the old man and Professor Lu, his student Weasle swallowed his mouth and spoke.

“Professor? ”

Krugman sighed, shook his head and said.

“We have to do something else. ”

Princeton does have a number of excellent mathematics professors, but there are not many professors interested in economics, especially those working in the theoretical field, and many people still have a considerable bias towards applied disciplines, considering that studying these things is a waste of time.

A mathematical bull got into the field and made a little bit of a difference, where he could easily let go.

Like a giant panda sneaking into a zoo and letting you go?

Krugman was caught in contemplation, and at that moment, he suddenly moved in his heart.

At this point he suddenly remembered that there seemed to be another author in the paper.

Not in one piece, Foster.

He didn't even know that name, and he's probably a lucky son of a bitch.

But the name of the second work…

His eyes grew brighter and Krugman looked at his students and said immediately.

“Weasle! ”

Suddenly called his name, Weasle responded immediately.

“I am… What can I do for you? ”

“Write me an email, I'll give you the email address later, fill in Lu xiaotong with my name and the recipient's name...” Paused for a moment, Krugman muttered to himself, "If things go well, I should be able to catch up. ”

The voice of this phrase, though modest, happened to be heard by Weasle, who was busy editing his mail.

He stood still and asked consciously.

“Catch up to what? ”

“Filling in volunteers, choosing a mentor,” Klugman continued, “Remember that paper I showed you? Although that paper is only a part of the mathematical model, it is also a rare quality to be able to organize the theoretical part completely and have a mathematician who has no knowledge of economics do so… If I am correct, she should not have decided where to study her PhD by now! ”

Weasle hesitated for a moment and put forward a hypothesis.

“But what if she doesn't intend to continue on this academic journey? ”

Krugman categorically denied it.

“Impossible! ”

“It is absolutely impossible to write such an excellent paper if she does not intend to continue on this journey of academia! Just to graduate, there is no need to do this! ”

“Just follow my instructions and send the mail. ”

“Yes…” looked seriously at the boss, Westle could only wooden the place down, turned on the computer and started editing the mail.

Buried in the mail, this 30-year-old Doctor, can't help but feel emotional.

Every graduation season, everyone else is a variety of magnetic reference sets, reducing their minds to get a bull's recommendation. However, good luck to this lucky guy, don't say anything about the letter of recommendation, the Noble Prize boss personally emailed her to invite her to read the blog...

No one else will be treated like this.

He even heard for the first time that there was such a good thing.

Thinking about it, thinking about his own experience of studying, Weasle's heart was like a lemon. The sourness spilled was almost immersed in the email...

Focker!

I envy you so much!
