Double Economics And Mathematics Major Student

Being a double economics and mathematics major student at Union College shaped me to be an economics PhD candidate with strong academic backgrounds and various research experiences. Math strengthens my logical thinking and economics integrates my thinking abilities in practical applications, such as analyzing China’s trade. After taking macroeconomics, I was assigned as an official tutor for that course. The experience of being the first sophomore economics tutor both improved my oral English skills and upgraded my understanding of course materials from learning-level to explaining and exploring-level by helping other students. When I was taking Seminar in the Global Economic Issues with Professor Sener, I realized the international economy …show more content…

Therefore, I applied Union College Summer Research Fellows to do a research about analyzing the changing tendency of China’s trade policy after 1993 with a Policy Science Professor. Meanwhile, I decided to compress my two-term Seward honor project into six weeks in summer to save me more spaces learning new knowledge in coming terms. After discussing with my advisor, Professor Motahar, my honor project was to analyzing the behaviors of Chinese currency. If Econometrics taught me how to establish and analyze model, Regression Analysis taught me how to take a look at the model itself from statistical aspects. Therefore, I used predictive analytics to analyze students’ academic behaviors at Union College with Professor Dvorak during the same summer. When I was working on my senior economic thesis, I was fascinated about nearly all my courses and researches could be combined together in my potential thesis paper about analyzing and predicting China’s economic growth. Specifically, my Econometrics paper about trade between China and the U.S. provides me with a good intention about the role trade plays in developing economy. The paper about the impact of international trade on Chinese regional inequality that I wrote in the Seminar in Global Economic Issues prepares me with the idea about how trade affects China inside. The International Economic course prepares me with theory and empirical study about China’s trade. Also, my summer research provides me with political background behind China’s trade and my honor project about Chinese currency inspires me to connect currency with

My parents always asked my brother, "How are you going to afford college with a McDonald 's salary?". College is expensive; every year we hear about the enormous amounts of loans college students will have at the end of the year. Due to this, society should encourage and keep allowing juniors and high school seniors to take Dual Credit classes in Pflugerville schools. Although scholarships and grants alleviate some of the costs, the amount of loans that students take out is very high; in 2010 "[student loan debt] outpaced credit card debt" (38).

The process of globalization, and its impact on economic growth have become the defining influence on the development of modern China. China 's integration into the global economic system has been a multifaceted and complex process, and one that China appears exceptionally eager to embrace. Encompassing domestic policy shifts, engagement with both global and regional institutions, as well as bilateral agreements with various countries, globalization has been an impressively orchestrated process initiated by the very top of the CCP. While advocates of globalization tout the growth of China as proof of its merits, analyzing the actual effects on the ground reveals a much more nuanced reality.
