The winner of this year’s Nobel prize ineconomics, Richard Thaler of the University of Chicago, is a controversial choice. Thaler is known for his lifelong pursuit of behavioural economics (and its subfield, behavioural finance), which is the study of economics (and finance) from a psychological perspective. For some in the profession, the idea that psychological research should even be part of economics has generated hostility for years.
今年的諾貝爾經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)獎(jiǎng)獲得者是芝加哥大學(xué)的理查德·塞勒(Richard Thaler),這是一個(gè)有爭(zhēng)議的選擇。查德·塞勒(RichardThaler)因?yàn)榻K生追求行為經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)(是經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)的分支,行為金融學(xué))而出名,這是一門研究心理學(xué)角度下的經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)(金融學(xué))。對(duì)一些專業(yè)人士來說,這種心理學(xué)研究甚至?xí)蔀榻?jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)的一部分的想法,多年來產(chǎn)生敵意。
perspective[p??spekt?v]觀點(diǎn),想法
例句:But not from a top-downi nstitutional perspective, rather from the perspective of a refugee. 【TED 演講】
但這不是從上而下的宏觀角度,而是從難民個(gè)體的角度。
Not from me. I find it wonderful that the Nobel Foundation chose Thaler. The economics Nobel has already been awarded to a number of people who can be classified as behavioural economists, including George Akerlof, Robert Fogel, Daniel Kahneman, Elinor Ostrom, and me. With the addition of Thaler, we now account for approximately 6% of all Nobel economics prizes ever awarded.
我認(rèn)為諾貝爾基金會(huì)選擇泰勒是極好的。諾貝爾經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)獎(jiǎng)已經(jīng)被授予許多歸類為行為經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)家的人,包括喬治·阿克爾洛夫、羅伯特·福格爾、丹尼爾·卡尼曼、埃莉諾·奧斯特羅姆和我。隨著泰勒的加入,我們現(xiàn)在占所有曾獲得的諾貝爾經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)獎(jiǎng)人數(shù)的6%。
But many in economics and finance still believe that the best way to describe human behaviour is to eschew psychology and instead model human behaviour as mathematical optimisation by separate and relentlessly selfish individuals, subject to budget constraints.
但許多經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)和金融學(xué)領(lǐng)域的人仍然相信,回避心理是描述人類的行為的最好方式,相反,將人類行為建模,作為獨(dú)立個(gè)體的數(shù)學(xué)優(yōu)化模型,會(huì)受到預(yù)算限制。
optimization[?pt?ma?'se???n]最優(yōu)化
例句:Zoher Kapu is vice president of global optimization and data for eBay,the online market place. 【VOA Special】
Zoher Kapu是著名的網(wǎng)上平臺(tái)eBay網(wǎng)的全局優(yōu)化和數(shù)據(jù)副總裁。
Of course, not all economists, or even amajority, are wedded to this view, as evidenced by the fact that both Thalerand I have been elected president, in successive years, of the American Economic Association, the main professional body for economists in the United States. But many of our colleagues unquestionably are.
當(dāng)然,不是所有的經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)家,或者甚至于大多數(shù)經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)家,贊同這一觀點(diǎn),事實(shí)證明,泰勒和我連續(xù)幾年當(dāng)選美國經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)會(huì)(the American Economic Association)的主席,該學(xué)會(huì)是美國經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)家的主要專業(yè)機(jī)構(gòu)。但我們的許多同事并沒有當(dāng)選為美國經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)會(huì)的主席。
unquestionably [?n'kwest??n?bl?] 毫無疑問地,確鑿地
例句:The way the DSM classifies those who unquestionably are illis also under attack. 【經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)人】
精神疾病診斷與統(tǒng)計(jì)手冊(cè)(DSM)確診患病的方式也受到了抨擊。
