Motivated by my strong passion for international development economics, my career
dream
is to become a leader and reformer providing comprehensive economics consulting
services to help Chinese enterprises achieve sustainable growth and global
competitiveness. Growing up with the economic reform of China because of WTO, I
observed the opportunities and threats many local enterprises encounter, probed
into the possible solutions to existing challenges facing local businesses, and
sought for substantial, lasting, and customized solutions. Thus, my passion for
economic consulting made me set up my short-term goal as an economic consultant
with expertise in international development economics to help enterprises in
developing countries after graduate study.
Driven by my career ambition, I have built solid foundation in key academic fields
contributing to consulting career: economics, finance, and management, achieving an
upward GPA of 91/100 in my junior year. I received straight “A”s in Development
Economics, Behavioral and Experimental Economics, Game Theory, Macroeconomics,
Microeconomic, International Monetary Economics, and so on. During my exchange
study in UC Berkeley, I deepened my understanding about economics through studying
Introduction to Mathematical Economics, and International Monetary Economics. To
strengthen my quantitative backgrounds, I audited courses such as Ordinary
Differential Equation and Real Analysis. I self-learnt C++, MATLAB and SPSS, and
applied mathematical models to problem solving, including methods of optimization,
dynamic models, probability models and computer simulations.
My pursuit for academics did not stop at class. I actively sought for research
opportunities during my undergraduate study. For instance, I conducted research on
topic: Empirical Analysis on the length of business cycle of China. Based on
multiplier accelerator model and Hick’s theory of business cycle, I made a few
assumptions and built a model to explain the length of business cycle of China.
Analyzing the GDP, consumption, investment, stock of capital and government
consumption of China as explanatory variables to build my model, I got positive
result in explaining the business cycle of China before 2000. To make a step
further, I have been trying to add factors of imports, exports and other monetary
factors to the model based on the theory that the business cycle of China might be
changed because of WTO. During my undergraduate years, I worked on multiple
research projects and wrote papers The Distinction of New Bank Risk Management
Mechanism of China, published on Shanghai Securities, and Using New Economic System
to Secure the Implementation of Rural Revitalization Strategy, published on
Macroeconomics. My independent research and research assistant experience in many
research projects greatly enhanced my strong interests in research and prepared my
strong research capabilities for future graduate study. During my graduate study, I
look forward to have having research opportunities on development economics and
especially Economic Development of China, the main areas where my research
interests are.
My internship experiences give me chances to apply economic theories and

interdisciplinary knowledge to solve real world issues. For instance, working at
Bank of China, I conducted economic research and analysis on the fluctuations of
exchange rate and its influence on industries such as real estate and metallurgy.
Thanks to knowledge I learned from International Monetary Economics course, I
explained the fluctuations of exchange rate from different aspects. Besides, I also
gave suggestions, such as forex futures, about how to avoid losses because of
exchange rate for to( give 搭配 to) companies in those industries based on knowledge
I learned from Monetary Finance and Banking class. In addition, during my
consulting internship at Bain & Company, I assisted in predicting the growth rate
of population, GDP, import and export of China in order to help our client, which
was a milk powder company, set their strategy of capacity of production and export
in next ten years. The above experiences confirmed my passion for consulting and
finding innovative solutions to help local businesses. However, I still encountered
a lot of problems during my internships, such as analyzing exchange rate policy and
predicting export because of limits of my knowledge in economics, as a result,
graduate study is necessary for my career plan.
Motivated by my strong passion for international development economics, after the

above preparations in academic background, research capability, and professional
experience, I am ready to build the next layer upon my foundation: pursuing a
Master degree in International and Development Economics at Yale. The International
and Development Economics Program at Yale enjoy enjoys a high reputation and long
history in international development economics. Its world-class faculty will
provide me with rigorous academic training and help me gain international
perspectives. The well-designed courses such as Microeconomics, Growth and
Macroeconomics and Advanced Economic Development attract me greatly. I believe that
these courses will definitely broaden my knowledge in understanding firms choices,
market structures and strategies, influences and connections of economic policies,
which are helpful in solving problems met by companies. The research assistant
opportunities at The Economic Growth Center Research Assistants (RA) program will
strengthen my research ability and analytical skills. In addition, I believe that
my internship experience will let allow me to bring insights of key problems met by
companies and banks in developing countries in discussion if I have chance to study
in courses of Yale. Besides, my academic experience in studying economic
development of China will also guide me make towards a further study in development
economics. Meanwhile, my excellent academic background, inquisitive nature,
innovative thoughts, and strong commitment to economics will enable me to make
active and significant contribution to the study and research in the academic
environment of Yale.
