  开放与发展专题workshop
  
  开放与发展专题workshop的基本目的有四:第一是通过阅读经济学的基础理论文献,帮助有志于从事经济学研究的青年教师和同学开拓视野,理解现代经济学观察和分析现实世界的视角和方法;第二是通过阅读优秀的经验研究文献,帮助成员在已有的计量经济学知识和方法的基础上,进一步理解和掌握经验研究的基本方法,大幅度提高经验研究的水平,并形成一批高质量的研究成果,从而推动纽约国际经济学研究水平的提升;第三,通过阅读开放与发展研究领域的经典和前沿文献,并在此基础上开展合作研究研究,以凝聚研究队伍,凝练研究方向,带动纽约国际在这一领域形成较强的研究实力和研究特色;第四,通过这个平台,提升纽约国际和校外优秀学者之间学术交流和合作的层次与规模,以更好地整合资源,扩大影响。
  
  开放与发展专题workshop的主持人是:李辉文、左翔、赵红军。
  
  开放与发展Workshop的主要工作内容是每周一次的集中讨论。讨论的内容包括两个方面,一是报告和讨论reading list中的重要文献,二是报告和讨论正在进行的研究工作。
  
  本学期的工作以报告和讨论文献为主,从下学期开始将有1/3到1/2的时间报告和讨论自己的工作论文。工作论文的报告者主要包括两类:本校的教师和学生,以及校外的青年学者。
  
  本学期的讨论时间为第6-17周周三下午13:30到15:50。
  
  本学期的文献分为A、B两个板块。A板块为经济学基础理论文献,B板块为经济学实证研究文献。每个版块的文献都分为两个部分:精读文献和参考文献。每周讨论一个单元的文献。A板块和B板块的文献交叉讨论。本学期A板块的活动,同时也就是“松江大学城精英读书俱乐部”的活动。
  
  每一单元的每一篇精读文献都是必读文献。在每周的讨论会上,需要一名报告人对该单元的前两篇精读文献进行陈述,并回答听众提出的各种问题。报告人需要在规定的时间(一篇论文或者一本书里的一章30分钟,一本书50分钟)里做完陈述,陈述应涵盖读书笔记所包括的9大主要内容;主讲人需做出规范的PPT(条理清晰地讲清以下问题:研究意义、主要结论、论文边际贡献、主要研究方法、计量分析工具选取、计量回归结果如何解读,等等。)。未安排报告的每一位同学需要提前精读文献,且每周至少写作并提交一篇精读文献的读书笔记(读书笔记的模板附后),并积极参与课堂发言。
  
  第一次研讨会的具体安排是:
  时间:10月17日下午13:30-15:30
  第一阶段:介绍workshop的基本情况
