经济学个人陈述一.

　　I was born and grew up in a country energetically developed, which is China, and my childhood and teenage years coincided with the highly developmental periods of China economy. Enlightened by what I witnessed, I had developed a keen interest in economics by the time I took the university entrance exams and thus when the time came to choose a major, I picked economics. I was accepted to the Economics department of xxxx University, and spent the next three years fulfilling the required core classes: Macroeconomics, Microeconomics, Financial Management, and Economics Law etc. Through the studies of those courses, I had the solid foundations of economics theories.

　　However, the more I learned about my subject of study, the more unsatisfied I felt with the curriculum&aposs lack of innovative economics classes based on the current market model. Therore I actively participated in many practice activities such as investigation of peasant workers into city instructed by Development Economics Group of Economics College of xxxx University, the economy investigation of xxx, xxx province, research on the data of China xx and China xx and study on restriction factors of tertiary industry development with the information acquired from State Statistics Bureau, from which I benited a lot.

　　Spring of 2005, I participated in the project of investigation about peasant workers into city organized by Development Economics Group of School of Economics in xxxx University, which was to investigate the life of peasant workers and the reasons for their moving into the city, analyze the fects on urban economy brought by this special group of people with economic analysis, and then put forward rational suggestions. As the leader of the investigation group in xx District, xx, I had to deal with a lot of things—organized and participated in the design of questionnaires, led the group to instruct the survey and composed the final report. In xx District, I led my group to communicate with peasant workers to know their life, income and occupation, and the reasons for their movement into city. According to our survey, we composed the report “Dynamic Reason Analysis on the Migration of Rural Labor to Urban Areas”. In this report, we analyzed the reasons for peasants’ movement into city, their rural economic situation, their income in city and we also discussed the position of this special group in the development of urban economy. Then we analyzed the fects on urban economy that this special group brought and proposed policy and suggestions.

　　Peasant workers are regarded as an especial principal part of economy, because they give up their rural life and come to city to work. As their income and life are in still in lowest class, they can’t get rid of peasants’ status and merge themselves into city. Under such terrible condition, what drives them into city and what kind of influence they have brought to urban economy and even the national economy. In order to get the answers, we collected xxxx pieces of information from our survey. Because I know if we do not contact the reality by ourselves and study the real cases, we never experience hardships and never get first-hand precious information. In the whole process, I learned a lot. I learned how to deal with some economic problems, study and analyze economic phenomenon with my knowledge. What’s more, this experience strengthened my enthusiasm on economics. Also, the challenges and difficulties involved in this project made me firmer, more persistent and daring to challenge any limit, which guaranteed the successes of my future graduate studies.

　　I also liked communicating with others, especially with the teachers, about the knowledge both in my major as well as in other fields. One my economics teacher, xxx, Economics PHD from USA, had always told us his studies there, and from the way he spoke and from what he said, I could be greatly enlightened by his plentiful experiences in USA and the highlights of his thoughts. More importantly, he made me deeply understand the advanced Economics education and perfect economics systems at abroad and made me more determined to further study Economics abroad as well. Survey on economy of xxx, xxx, mainly focused on the economic status, advantages and inferior resources as well as proposed suggestions and made development plans. In this project, I was the assistant of the professor. During this time, I assisted the Professor to collect and sort information, communicate with local authorities and enterprises and compose survey paper. Due to my diligence, aborative plan and honesty, I acquired the archives kept in government as well as relative data from government officials, enterprises and the places rich in resources.

　　xxx is rich in forest. However, as economy is rapidly developing and people’s environment consciousness is strengthened in modern society, aboriginal forest, which can’t support people’s life nor agree to sustainable development, is not applicable. Therore, local government and enterprise representatives invited professors of Economics College, xx University to take investigation and help them to make plans for their future development. I was lucky to go with professors and worked as a research assistant. When facing such an important and tough task in xxx, I realized shortage of my knowledge. In terms of development plan, I didn’t know where I should go first. In the next one month, I eagerly learned knowledge at work with instruction of Professors. I earnestly completed fussy work, including collecting each piece of information, recording each talk and taking investigation, which was the essential to final strategy. With persistent hard work, we got all the essential information and professor proposed the general foreground and would make out accurate scheme based on further analysis after going back to university. At the same time, I finished my study here and completed my paper—Research Report on self-supporting economic model of xxx, which was published in Future Economists, economic magazine published by Economics College of xx University. I benited a lot from the experience in xx. I learned how to analyze complicated economic problems. Most importantly, it generated my strong interests in Applied Economics, particularly in the respect of Public Economics，Labour Economics，Urban Economics and case analysis. I hope to solve actual problems with my forts, not just to rest on theoretical research.

　　With the globalization of the world’s economy and the opening of China’s capital markets after its entry into the WTO, China now has a desperate need for people who know about economics in China, who have the best education in economics in the world, and who have an international economics perspective. With this in mind, I decided to visit USA - a country with advanced Economics education. Top School academic experience can build on my western economics knowledge, my multi-cultural and multi-lingual background to prepare me well for working in the large multi – national company as an outstanding economist in ten years.

　　I am applying to your esteem university because its rigorous program, outstanding faculty, and excellence in Economics will allow me to develop the skills I have acquired so far. As a student born and raised abroad, I will bring a new perspective to your program. It takes courage and optimism to move to another country, and to study and work in a culture radically different from one&aposs own. I have made the best of a unique opportunity, and I will continue to take calculated risks as they come along. Moreover, I appreciate diversity and enjoy the process of learning itself, and believe I have much to contribute to the dynamic student body in your esteem university.
