【阳民心得】David Card教授成名很早，在拿到诺贝尔经济学奖之前也拿到过克拉克奖和前沿知识经济学奖等，同时，他还是最受欢迎的5位在世的经济学家，这说明David Card教授不仅理论功底扎实而且普及也做得好，更重要的是，他的研究主题都很有现实价值，例如Immigration、Race、Ethnicity 、Segregation、 Minimum Wages、Unions and Collective Bargaining等都是立足大地的现实问题，这充分说明，真正的大咖经济学家应该将研究立足于真实世界的真实问题而不是无病呻吟，这也是阳民一直以来所坚持的立场。

热烈祝贺阳民团队两篇学术论文入选2021世界社会企业峰会并做会议演讲
