Personal Statement
Bayannao’er, a developing city of Inner Mongolia, located in Northern China, is where I was born. There are about 20 minorities living on its vast land, thus exposing me to the multitudinous cultures and traditions, teaching me to respect different cultures, making me an open minded person. Aside from its diverse ethnicity, the abundant natural resources make it possible to reach economic prosperity for my hometown. However, it is no denial that the comprehensive economic situation is yet to be improved. So a dream was inbred deeply in my heart – to contribute myself to bring practical economic growth and improve the living standard there.
Driven by this dream, I chose financial engineering as my undergraduate major in the hope of laying foundation for my future career. Courses like microeconomics, macroeconomics, international economics, etc. availed me to have a general idea of the basic principles of economics. In the meanwhile, I studied the welfare economics, institutional economics, and regional economics all by myself in my free time. Through my studies I found that Developmental Economics to be my academic interest. Therefore, I spent a lot of time studying them and now I am familiar with some basic theories and practices regarding this field, for instance, the Two Gap Model, the Developmental Poles Theory, the Estimated Price Analysis of the investment Project etc. Particularly, Agriculture and Industrialization wrote by Peiwen Zhang, Father of Developmental Economics, gave me lots of aspirations in this field. In addition, I keep keen concern and study on Regional Economics. After I read Von Thumen’s masterpiece The Isolated State, Alfred Weber’s Industrial Location Theory, Nekrasov’s Regional Economics, I compared their different objects of study and viewpoints. On one hand, I am more inclined to accept Hoover, Qiye Zhou and Zaixing Liu’s opinions that the regional economics made researches on the main economics problems. On the other hand, I am especially agree with Dongsheng Chen, Jingwen Li, Shouyi Hao’s opinions that the regional economics is to study China’s overall economic situation from a strategic and scientific points. I do hope that I could learn more about these two areas in my future study. In my opinion, the knowledge of those two sections will definitely assist me in committing myself to the development of my hometown.

Beyond the academic study, I spent a lot of efforts working on academic papers. Thanks to the generous guidance of my professors, some of my papers were published in major economics periodicals, like Statistics and Decision Making, Scientific Management and Research. In addition to that, I was also active in community and student government work. As the leader of the school volunteer team, I organized many volunteer activities on and off campus. My organizational and community capability was well recognized by my team members and partners. I was awarded the outstanding volunteer leader prize of Sichuan University in 2010. Because of the hard work of the whole team, our organization attracted many new members who bore the same goal as us to devote ourselves to serve the community.
Besides, I took some internship which helped me to apply the academic knowledge to real world practice. However, it was also when I was at work, different kinds of problems popped up, making me realize that the lack of advanced economic theories was keeping me from making any progresses. Therefore I make up my mind to further my study as a postgraduate student concentrating on the Economics.
