摘 要：

This is a talk on economic research touching the issues of economic reality, measurement, reasoning, and causal inference. The purpose of this talk is to inform and share with the broader audience what is involved in economic research based on the speaker’s own experience in a field study, economic theories, statistics/econometrics, and causal inference. In all four areas mentioned above, the speaker will show examples and published work from a field survey in rural China, to a theoretical economic work that decomposes the Sen’s poverty index, to a theoretical econometric/statistical work on economic measurement, to the evaluation of the impact of a monetary policy or an investment style, to a causal inference on the impact of the circuit breakers in China.
