好吧,我本来是不想攻击fd和lz的。毕竟与人为善是一种美德。
ls有人把我想说的话给说穿了,lz认为fd的workshop就如何了得了,我虽然没有参加过美国牛校的workshop,但好歹每周也参加水平不错的workshop,来讲课的人都有点水平,而且我自己的判断绝对被国内所谓的牛人要强。真正的workshop是什么样子的?我不知道lz有没有见过作者被下面的听众批评到想找地洞。
我们系有一个宏观教授,非常年轻,他一直很犀利,批评作者比批评学生还狠。此人给Melitz改过稿子,Melitz在顶级期刊发表的文章中都要感谢他的批评校正。这是学术研讨,是风格,更是水平。我们平时看到和听到的都是那种毫无保留的、无情的批判。一个机构,一个团队,一个作者要想做出点成绩就要学会批评别人和被别人批评。
我给lz说个真实的故事,有一次UBC一个教授来做讲座,下面的听众不买账,照样骂人,照样批评。到最后,那个教授实在挂不住了,就拒绝回答提问,结果被群起而攻之,死得很惨。宏观微观计量,所有的教师都批判他,不仅如此,连给我们学生上课都不遗余力地批判他。lz啊,这是西方经济学研究为什么比中国强的很重要原因。因为人家是真正在讨论问题,在讨论的过程中没有什么面子权威和荣誉。
我可以很负责任地说,许多workshop最后是演讲者和听众拍桌子的,互相争执甚至到了水火不容的地步。请问FD的workshop到这个程度了么?
另外,我们还是见过AER作者的,我们系就有老师发表过AER,稍微次一点发过EER等。人家的学问水平,我自问,恐怕确实一辈子都赶不上了,但人家的精神和方法我还是可以学习的。
最要不得就是井底之蛙,夜郎自大。中国学术上不去,体制因素之外很关键一点就是:互相吹捧,一团和气。我对fd老师没有什么意见,最大的意见是见不得没有根据地造神。如果lz要谈问题,应该把某个论文拿出来,我们分析它好在哪里,不足在哪里,需要改进的地方是什么,如何改进,给大家留下了什么启示。这是做学问的样子。你谈哪个老师好,也要有点佐证吧?
附一点佐证,那个经常跟人拍桌子的宏观教授发表如下:
