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 directly help 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 wellbeing— 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.
Scholars are collecting data from pandemic to________.
选项
A、predict unemployment rate
B、help the influenced people directly
C、analyze the impact of pandemic
D、give suggestions based on inflation
答案
C
解析
细节题。根据题干关键词collecting data可定位至第一段第三句Scholars are scrambling to collect data on how many jobs are lost,what people can afford to buy and what shortages will emerge,即“学者们正忙着收集数据,了解失业人数、人们的购买能力以及什么物品将出现短缺”,由此可以得知学者们是为了了解疫情对人们生活的影响。故C项与原文相符,正确。A项和D项在原文中没有提及,属于主观臆断,故排除。该段最后一句提到so that governments can directly help them。即“以便政府能够直接帮助他们”,原文是政府提供帮助,而不是学者提供帮助,故B项为张冠李戴,故排除。
