Economists, like researchers in many disciplines, are responding to the urgency of the COVID-19 pandemic. The immediate priorities are understanding the consequences of the crisis for public finances and international trade. Scholars are scrambling to collect data on how many jobs are lost, what people can afford to buy and what shortages will emerge. Even constructing basic economic statistics such as inflation and gross domestic product is challenging when one-third, say, of activity in the economy has halted. We need measures to understand which groups of people will be intolerably affected so that governments can direct help to them.
There are many other pressing questions. When will the health toll of isolation, unemployment or delayed surgery outweigh that caused directly by COVID-19? What are the implications for next year’s supplies of staple foods or of higher levels of long-term disability? How quickly can vaccine manufacture be scaled up? What release-from-lockdown strategies are behaviourally and hence politically feasible? Can national governments negotiate with each other to arrive at cooperative, mutually beneficial policies? What can international agencies do to encourage this when geopolitical tensions are rising? Addressing these questions requires collaboration across many disciplines to synthesize new findings with old—fast. It’s time to deliver on the benefits of public investment in research.
Economists are notoriously less likely than other social scientists to look outside their own discipline, and medical and natural scientists are not accustomed to looking to the social sciences for insight. The pandemic is changing all that. It has become obvious that the search for viable exit strategies needs biomedical science, epidemiology, public health, behavioural and social psychology, engineering, economics, law, ethics, international relations and political science. Without contributions from all these, navigating toward less-than-disastrous outcomes for well-being—human and planetary—will be impossible.
To share findings fast, the economics community has set up light-touch peer-review outlets, such as the European Economic Association’s COVID-19 resource. The United Kingdom’s Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) is kick-starting an observatory to collect and translate research. Funders such as the ESRC and the European Commission’s corona platform are rapidly processing research proposals. Academics who have long studied what previously seemed like unpopular topics, such as the links between financial uncertainty and stress or knots in supply chains, are producing research at extraordinary pace and providing public commentary to communicate their work.
Getting good at inter-disciplinarity will bring benefits in long term. The specifics will vary, but the need for coordinated research and policy applies to building a post-pandemic social order and to crafting an economy that limits climate change as far as possible.
Several questions are listed to_________.
选项
A、exemplify that there are many questions to be solved
B、show the urgency of finding answers
C、ask for valuable advice from scientists
D、show the importance of inter-disciplinary cooperation
答案
D
解析
推断题。根据题干可定位至第二段。结合第二段上下文,列举的问题的后一句提到:“Addressing these questions requires collaboration across many disciplines to synthesize new findings with old-fast”,即“解决这些问题需要跨越多个学科的合作,从而以极快的速度将新发现与已有情况结合在一起”,可知选项[D]与原文相符,为正确选项。选项[A]不是列举问题的根本原因,故排除。列举问题和寻找答案的急迫性没有直接关系,选项[B]排除。选项[C]没有提及,属于主观臆断,排除。
