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.
Which of the following would be the best title for this text?
选项
A、Economists must collaborate courageously
B、What are the influences of this pandemic?
C、How can scientists cooperate with the economist?
D、New research results released by economists
答案
A
解析
主旨题。本文首段Economists…are responding to the urgency of the COVID-19 pandemic介绍了经济学家们正在努力应对疫情。第二段紧接着指出,Addressing these questions requires collaboration across many disciplines“经济学家需要与其他领域进行跨学科合作”。第三、四段介绍了跨学科合作的重要性和经济学家已经做出的努力。最后一段介绍了跨学科合作的未来发展前景,即bring benefits in long term“会带来长期收益”。根据全文可以得出,本文主要是针对经济学家的跨学科合作进行了讨论,因此A项是正确答案。在原文中仅在第一段提及了疫情的影响,B项以偏概全,错误。C项也不够概括全文,错误。D项属于无中生有,错误。
