Note: The current domestic economic circles, a strong international fashion trend, and that quickly led scholars returnees theoretical research in economics and educational reform. However, due to the defects of modern mainstream economics itself, and the returnees lack of knowledge and scholars, resulting in China's economy has not made much substantial progress, on the contrary full of formal utilitarian approach. is to restore the old article being to one to Chang.
returnees Economist Economic development in China misleading
Currently, the economic circles as the theory of natural science to deal with, emphasizing economics international standards; This is why, in keeping with international standards, national departments, the introduction of various colleges and universities are doing all returnees who led the scholars that returnees economics teaching, research subjects and the whole economic development. But the question is how many of those returnees is really the pursuit of academic, how many people truly engaged in basic research? Hsiao right once wrote: University of scholars studying in Europe for years, just learning, not places. History is one of the most famous outstanding Chen Yinque one. really no need for people learning master doctorate to tokenism. Unfortunately, some students are too degree with intent to take seriously clever. They choose the school, faculty, curriculum, so that title, and more services in expediency. They had a scholarship and the resulting knowledge to compromised. more unfortunate is that while some people mixed in a foreign country for a few years after returning home, claiming to have conferred a degree at a university. With the fake degree do they cover. actually in the country were removed from education or other cause. academic philosophy to dominate the academic people, then, China's educational reform and the future of the academic session will be showing how to look? In fact, despite the introduction of returnees on the traditional economics of innovation in an increasingly rigid play a very important role in promoting but this effect has apparently been greatly exaggerated, and even academics seem to have formed a kind of fetishism returnees; In fact, these returnees are often with their academic contacts with the West and often can facilitate the admiration of young students, ;, but the general public, young students and intellectuals of the returnees and their lack of theoretical knowledge embedded in modern Western theory of mainstream economics often do not know the defect. To this end, this paper returnees economic scholars from the Institute for Economic Theory role, and their economic reform movement initiated by the development of the Chinese economy have to make a real impact analysis.
First, returnees and the Economist to what has been done?
In fact, although some of the current Economist returnees through years of is often scanty. For example, Zou Hengfu to admit in his blog, to think highly of myself and my brother all the study (Xu Wang Qian Li Bai Hu. Guoqiang Tian than a few of us in terms of mathematical economics to be a lot better a lot better --- but he is also the world's third-rate like to say that Victoria Ying, Fan Gang, Chen Ping, Wu Jin Lian their profound mathematical economics is the shit barrier l r, and Tian Guoqiang, Ph.D. in economics, Zhou Lin hh, they are very good! hh I heard Comrade Victoria Ying class, it can be ah funny: he did not prove the theorem in the MWG. This is so fraught with it! Zu VI, Xie, Li Shan, Caijing Yong, Xu Ziwang, Xiaonian such is the case, and Yi Gang; those who remain in university, if there is fortune to engage in education, the so-called economic reforms, such as Weiying, Tian Guoqiang, Qian Yingyi are all true; and those who stay in college with no executive powers are keen on MBA teaching, such as Bai Yan, Li Daokui, Wu Changqui and Zhou Chunsheng such is the case, while others run from the business consulting, market analysis or directly attached to some of the academic bully. These are Zouheng Fu can not see the curb, even Zouheng Fu himself, but also more knowledge into the World Bank engage in physical poverty alleviation in the country is also popular economics education everywhere, as the academic about the hanging the road, not as good as this as a stepping stone to pry open a new world, at least you can use it to make a living destiny, do not jump to the years of hard study. Of course, the reason for such acts, in addition to shallow knowledge structure dictates, the more relevant to their personal qualities: there is a serious shortage of social responsibility; Just think: they do not engage in theoretical exploration, but why should guide the students to repeat this unreasonable world? and how to guide students in exploring academic hard work? Remember : to teach young students do not care what teachers say, but rather do, words and deeds Ah! is the leading scholars in the returnees, the economy full of the pursuit of the number of academic and empirical formalism, the theory of economics research and teaching are also increasingly The more out of touch with reality; this reason, I think that the current economics that a culture of formalism and utilitarianism in large part to the scholars responsible for these returnees. In general, the returnees will lead scholars and to strengthen the actions of the reason why economic circles has arisen, utilitarian style of study, mainly two reasons for this.
the one hand, returnees and scholars to the theory that literacy and academic attitude. overseas, particularly those specializing in the modern study of economics majors, and aspirations of most of their family and such a century ago can not be compared Yinke, so they study the primary aim is to earn a degree, which have gained a well-off and has a bright neither good and want to earn a degree as soon as possible, is bound to seek a shortcut to mainstream learning. Because of this, the current is not like this group of returnees Yinke scholars as to the true knowledge around Degrees do not want to follow the system takes too long in one place; they care about is how to choose a mind under the influence, though mathematical, theoretical physics and the humanities and other metaphysical knowledge of a country or society is to important and far-reaching and more Chinese students who study abroad choose something almost all practical disciplines, which is considered school of economics to as they race to choose the profession. And, to a degree as soon as possible, they did not dare to go against the research model for instructors, and keen to , these students scholarship generally is: a set of popular science research methods, to find a relevant research topic, up the thesis. For this reason, most students must read professional books is limited, more not to mention the other doctrine to expand horizons and enhance thinking books; and they are often based on easy access to the appropriate credit to consider the choice of courses, then tutor asked to do a make teacher satisfaction and easily through the paper, if the instructor is too harsh words you tend to loose a request for a mentor or school.
the other hand is the tendency of European and American academic own utilitarian. With pragmatism since the 20th century, the rise of 20,30, 60 of the 20th century in particular, 70 years after the tenure of the incentive, especially European and American academic atmosphere of American society has greatly changed: more and more people into a stable position just out of college to earn a livelihood purposes, not for learning academic concepts to explore . It is in this academic environment, the academics are reluctant to make long Zhushulishuo, but keen on published papers; not a mainstream theory and the courage to challenge paradigms, but to go along with the mainstream and the clamor to strengthen the academic mainstream trend. Obviously, it is this utilitarian guide, Western Mainstream Economics in the path of growing into a formalized, it tried to follow the natural sciences, because the natural life cycle of scientific results to be short much; In this case, the economics for more test only temporarily prove or disprove this theory, all the proof is temporary, because we can not rule out that a certain test results may be overturned this theory. so the scientists have put forward is very demanding, they must make every effort to decorate the r own l assumptions. Based on this environment, those with a mathematical background in the survival of foreign academic circles has obvious advantages.
is because the majority of returnees are in foreign countries by the number of economic reasons or to concentrate mainly based on mathematical aspects for , thus obtained will assume that post-graduate study of economics should be the case, return to the road after the number of strongly advocated also reasonable. Do not you see, those in foreign countries is not based on the measurement of almost complete works in the field of it? home advocacy non-mathematical and empirical science and engineering is precisely the identity out of the year and transformed with the shallow, on the European and American educational system is also poorly understood; but in terms of the formation of the utilitarian culture, they have been leaks of their education is not solely for the knowledge of the rules. In fact, if I were stupid Dayton can understand, in the United States The current education system, doctoral dissertation writing a basic language of the general format: First select the subject of a feasibility, especially in the subject to build a formal mathematical model; Second, after building a model to start looking for some data empirical, it is best to use a newly proposed new econometric techniques; Finally, note that, in the choice of topics to take into account data availability, and taking into account the subject can can be decomposed into several papers, in order to protect jobs for life after graduation as soon as possible. [5] Clearly, this is a basic mode of training, most students (especially Chinese students) during the study for a degree follow this pattern, as the degree or scholarships as soon as possible rather than true knowledge, and thus the knowledge of other areas of less and less is known; Moreover, schools in Europe and America, to get more credits is often accompanied by additional fees, which is Students can also unwilling shouldered.
Thus, despite his doctorate in Europe and America is more difficult, but we should clearly realize that these scholars only Shou Lexie returnees based research training, tools, and in the expression test analysis has been some training, but still did not address the fundamental theoretical research in the first two levels: the methodological level and theoretical knowledge. In particular, we must understand that the training of PhD study is only a entry is the training of a research tool, but did not go into the real economics; because the so-called ; two aspects of the problem, and any issues raised are of a long process, let alone the solution. In fact, Europe and America who can become a master of economics, not limited to the period of doctoral thesis on the traditional writing tools Apply this machine, but deep into the phenomenon of the whole community to explore the internal mechanism, or analysis tools to explore their own. Obviously, due to the pressure of survival and shallow knowledge of the vast majority of returnees are quite scarce knowledge of scholars, but also in thought and theory can not do something, and rarely in the mechanism of internal, but are keen on mathematical models and empirical measurement. For example, Lin Yifu, the recognition, only to foreign countries, getting a degree and later, to stay in teaching at the university, so although people in foreign countries, the experience of their lives confined to university campuses, for the social phenomenon which is still to stay away from smoke and mirrors, it is difficult thoroughly. Therefore, For them, there is no social content of mathematical achievement or measurement easier way, but to social and economic phenomenon of the theory of the object are more powerless. the original contribution, but for some so-called validation. So we said that, despite a degree abroad returnees have advantages in basic training, which can be used for class teaching, but the overall development of the subject is really very few known, but also simply do not understand the academic content and real nature of the development.
Unfortunately, despite these returnees have made the process of doctoral degrees is not really into the academic research, even in general university abroad is difficult to find a decent teaching; However, once these returnees who came back but seems to have become academic authority, not only in his training, modeling, and even extended to the development of all disciplines aspects. and they in the subsequent or not willing to scrutiny, but instead willing to blindly follow these returnees scholars, as well as the academic development of the country are all about what they had. In fact, in the current academic circles, even though the vast majority of returnees have not learned any real research method itself does not engage in any real research; But as long as they can in the classroom to the original number of If we can use original materials for teaching, it would be more warmly touted by students, and often known as the Interesting is fresh thinking, not practical, those returnees tend to speak from time to time some overseas experience or references some English words the students will be attracted to education system to catch the line, which will help out future students, at least as the spirit of bragging and self-satisfaction.
In fact, the real thinking of academia are often from non-mainstream, because the mainstream is a former non-mainstream; and, once non-mainstream stuff rise to mainstream to gradually lose its ideological, because long-term process to make the mainstream increasingly rigid and dogmatic. An obvious example is economics itself has a strong humanistic, normative and speculative, but the status of modern Western mainstream economics establishment, these features are gradually disappeared. Meanwhile, the economy itself has a strong specificity and localization, it is because of the economics of the economic phenomenon maker real understanding. Taiwan Yang Kuo-shu, etc. for emotion, said, life, we are Chinese; in doing research, we have become Westerners. we consciously or unconsciously suppress their own ideas and the Chinese philosophical orientation, making it difficult to show the course of the study among the just accept uncritically the West inherited the problem of theory and method. In this case, we can at best be picked up the pace to keep up with the trend for the wiles of foreign academic. often led by international standards but stressed that the economics of universality, objectivity, and deny its particularity and locality; ask, if the academic blindly by these can be real when the onset of thought and economic theory it!
, of course, the mainstream view is that, if not by returnees who will be the introduction of Western academic vigorously, then how can we catch up with the world of social science level, with international standards? This is why scholars in various universities vigorously the introduction of the reasons for returnees, and some schools even begin to make just a PhD student returnees to become an instant PhD supervisor. The question is, what the real purpose of social science research it? standards and standards for it? In fact, the returnees will help their academic standards are to be true? Or just see the In view of these returnees were However, learning to accept that a particular interpretation. analogy is different from free to ask questions and make questioned the accepted scientific method, which guide students to the core value of teaching as a valuable, no doubt the consensus of experts In addition, that is, a lot of mathematical training, and measurement of software use, or is on several knowledge and ideas to sort out the work, the real value of human thought can not be constantly changing; However, because Europe itself is short-sighted thinking and innovative ideas resulting in academic utilitarianism, utilitarian style of study through which these returnees their hands and more distorted and deformed.
Moreover, even in these returnees were in the teaching of mainstream economics has a comparative or absolute advantage, but their teaching is essentially not pragmatism, because their teaching is often just go along with the theory of the so-called cutting edge, and not for the purpose of improving student understanding. In fact, the pragmatic spirit of economics education is to train students in their daily lives and professional ability to think independently, you need to guide students to face real economic phenomenon, consider the different countries and different institutional environment, to compare different theories and speculation, and thus to better understand the applicability of each theory and its inherent flaws; only through this practical education, is on Students really useful, because even if they did not become an economist after they learned to think independently, data processing and evaluation of theoretical perspectives. However, blindly following the mainstream of the returnees were able to produce paper is mainly to teach the skills, the skill to see may help students to study alone, but only made no sense to determine the titles of articles and very effective, but they do not have to teach students how to cognitive social functions, but can not observe and understand social phenomena nurturing perspective and philosophy. Kelan De pointed out that economic research in applied policy economist, it is not a good idea. Similarly, once the generalized model was developed, the model is tested on the specific meaning of little significance, not as the teaching it as a contact view a full understanding of its literature is also well aware of the reference; However, the majority of Chinese researchers in the study of energy on the all kinds of relationships, while at the same time, in order to obtain the academic reputation or even to get to grade promotion and monetary rewards derived desire written or published articles, in this context, but also refer to several articles in popular magazines began to in their short-term learning process that does not grasp the true essence of Western academic, but after returning to international standards in order to show its ability, and to be able to occupy in domestic academic discourse, but continue to reproduce with those of the West changing because of utilitarian and superficial academic; result, not only led to scholars at a loss, but did himself no less than static theory of mind to engage in real thought. However, this is what they want returnees, because only the changes in order to shows the value and significance of their existence; Otherwise, if we are engaged in learning meditation, and there is no stage of their activities, as they also do not own any real academic to.
visible by Justin Yifu Lin of Peking University do elaboration; However, if the teaching of economics is to help students understand economic phenomena in China predict the evolution of this phenomenon, and thus avoid or change the situation, then the pursuit of cutting-edge teaching methods of modern economics is not appropriate. study of itseconomists lack of developing and transition countries in social, economic, cultural, political factors are nowhere near cutting the body by which the regret. Therefore, the education to become dogmatic education, students misleading; the contrary, we should be taught to the students, analyzing the problem, that is, ;. Of course, the analysis of the economic phenomenon of the method itself is a speculative process, and methodology of modern mainstream economics itself, there is a big flaw: it as a natural science to study economics, and economics to study expanding increasingly incompatible with the content. That is why, I particularly stressed in the teaching of modern mainstream economics, we have to approach their research to explore the philosophical analysis of this study concluded that the characteristics under way and possible defects.
two returnees Economist keen on education shows what?
described above, the analysis of economists in the theory of returnees on the merits, and to re-examine their actions on the Chinese economy effect on the development. Of course, I did not arrogant or closed here, the taste of doctrine, not that the returnees scholars useless, does not mean that the traditional domestic scholars, a more comprehensive understanding of economics; However, I do believe that scholars should at least returnees utility of the current economic and impetuous style of study circles partly responsible, although the traditional style of study is not necessarily better. I sincerely hope: China's economic development to more fully absorb the returnees who suffered a valuable part of the training, rather than to strengthen the forest for the trees that form dross; the same time, we can not totally reject the traditional approach of economics to simply abandon the traditional focus on economics, the essence of theoretical knowledge. However, the economics of education reform is precisely to date show a species added to the phenomenon of evil evil, mutually reinforcing and jointly Style ruined our whole social atmosphere; as Mu said, combination of new life, abuse can see, it is the formation of social indulgence and corruption. form a kind of cross-flow wishes to the tragic end of the century phenomenon Economic issues in education reform revealed, we can take in June 2007 expelled from the Weiying be described in Kon Zouheng Fu. In fact, education itself is a very important and need to cause deep cultural heritage; So why there are so many Economist returnees engaged in educational administration? Why these returnees led so many educational reforms are often caused by social criticism? The author has always been concerned about the issue throughout the academic system, rather than specific individuals hi comments published; But clearly, this The current dispute has exposed Zhang Zou returnees ruled by the economics underlying the three major issues of education reform, which can lead to our deep thinking.
(a) of this event exposed the pallid mainstream of Economic Research. We know that education is not achieved overnight success, but a long-term undertaking, which requires long-term human influence, the so-called takes a hundred years; However, there are those who return after the Economist is not ; excellent learning provider The incident itself is implemented directly by the Weiying caused the so-called education reform, but returned to school the other hand, people's congresses of other disciplines are interested in their own academic research, some scholars have also offered to withdraw from educational administrative positions, why there is such a contrast to it? addition to the traditional Economics education is indeed a serious problem, the more important is the paradigm of mainstream economics is too formal: it does not require academic accumulation, no ideas, do not need cultural atmosphere, and just to have a group of master modern paradigm or tool who concocted some of the closed-door article on it. In fact, in the current atmosphere of academic economics, economic disciplines most likely to produce results, because it results not need to be confirmed by empirical facts, but also do not have a thought provoking; the contrary, as long as self-consistency of the is due to mainstream economics itself has increasingly deviated from reality, so he instead stressed that the so-called ranking, these rankings are oriented paradigm is based on the number of articles; Clearly, as long as a good article of manufacture of such skills talent Division into that kind of equipment and personnel, other human society that does not need to rely on traditional academic background and heritage have always thought (this often requires the presence of some academic dean), but only need to dig or hire some paid young and utilitarian returnees on the line. So, who are performance-oriented college leaders also keen to seek the reform of economics education from the academic level of the school of education reform to start. Do not you see, those who had cultural heritage is extremely weak (economic base is almost zero) in science and engineering institutions such as Tsinghua University, Shanghai Jiaotong University, in recent years are not vigorously through the introduction of the so-called returnees and quickly became the economic leader in the field yet? Moreover, these universities tend to economics as a natural science to train, learn some of the major tools and completely regardless of the quality aspects of humanity, such as professional background in engineering economics and is recommended for admission to the Xi'an Jiaotong University A professional doctoral colleagues told me that their three high school courses (advanced micro, macro and senior high measurement). In recent years, Zou Hengfu other in stone Rivers University, Central University of Finance, Shenzhen University, the modern economics education, some people said to me, Zou Hengfu repeat itself degenerate men, there is no academic background in these areas can be good to learn? and I said to them, according to the characteristics and requirements of modern economics, even in the desert can also be accomplishing class School of Economics, as long as there is enough money to hire first-rate economist, or those who have mastered the skills of modern economic analysis of the returnees on the line, not to mention, the money it needs to be much lower than other subjects. Just think: Hong Kong University of Science and Technology has Humanities and Social Sciences academic background what it? but it is actively absorbed by those who originally came from the mainland for his doctorate in European and American people, and through various incentive measures to encourage the magazine published an article in the U.S. and Europe, and now claims to be economics areas (including management) the first in Asia by (Israel excluded); but discerning eye should be aware that there are no real academic humanities it? not to mention the so-called theory of innovation.
(b) of this event exposed Economist of the academic background of the superficial. We know, as a social science research could have been accumulated with age, the growth of increasingly deep, but why those returnees economists willing to abandon the original accumulation of keen academic in the education reform? The key is a serious shortage of their theoretical knowledge, just follow the norm of the mainstream to do some programming in the young period of the article, but did not have a genuine understanding of knowledge; and, in the current academic standards by the Western-led, they also knew that hard to be successful academically, so they use the clear, one can easily determine his level of professional standards and a professional to measure its value; for this reason that, if too much energy spent on administrative matters, but is worth the candle. recently saw a message in the newspaper, Pu Cunxin to repeatedly proposed to the higher quit the post of vice president of Beijing People's Art, he said, an actor, I judge myself, my point level, people can not afford to support the development direction of Art, claimed that in any case will not serve as the next post of JNU Art School, [11] Jin Yong Zhejiang University, also quit the post of Dean of Arts, and so on. However, in economics, unless the media wantonly rendering (sometimes often very one-sided), the general public it is difficult to judge a scholar and a professional level of professional standards to measure its value; the contrary, people tend to their degree of exposure in the media to understand it, the so-called ; impact Scientific research also need to invest more effort and more needs to be separated from academic research and administration, called to administrative matters, not always heard, some professors, doctoral fellow even have to fight a president, vice president of dry Why?
, of course, to teach ...
