诺贝尔经济学奖得主劳伦斯·罗伯特·克莱茵发表主题演讲

嘉宾介绍：

        克莱茵教授出生于纳布莱斯加州俄马荷市一个犹太人家庭。他在宾西法尼亚大学沃顿学院首创预测经济趋势的电脑计量经济模型而获得了1980年的经济学诺贝尔奖。他发起了LINK项目，建立了一个能把世界各国的经济状况的变化对于其他国家经济的影响都反映出来的全球经济模型。他至今仍是这个研究项目的领袖。正如诺贝尔奖委员会的评语所说，“像劳伦斯克莱茵这样具有众多的追随者、在实证经济学领域中影响远大的科学家实属凤毛麟角。”

　　通过他自己的研究和对许多中国学者的培养，克莱茵教授对于中国经济政策的制定也做出了非凡的贡献。在1980年首次访问中国后，他就担任了中国国家信息中心的顾问。之后他多次来华，将计量经济学传播到中国，并帮助中国建立了第一个经济计量模型。多年来他保持了和中国的广泛的学术交流，关注和帮助中国经济的繁荣发展。近例之一发生在2004年夏天，当很多经济学家对于中国发布的GDP增长率的准确程度质疑的时候，克莱茵教授和中国国家信息中心的陶丽萍和高辉清通过他们的研究表明中国GDP的增长率实际上超出常人的想象。

　　被誉为“计量经济学之父”的克莱茵教授先后出任美国, 加拿大政府顾问、美国经济学会会长、世界计量经济学会主席等职，是美国科学院院士。他亦是凯瑞公司的董事。

Professor Klein was born in Omaha, Nebraska，and is of Jewish descent. He was awarded the Nobel Prize in Economic Sciences in 1980 based on his work in creating computer models to forecast economic trends in the field of econometrics. He was the initiator of, and an active research leader in, the LINK project, which creates the world's first global economic model so that the effects of changes in the economy of one country are reflected in other countries. As noted by the Nobel committee, "few, if any, research workers in the empirical field of Economics, have had so many successors and such a large impact as Lawrence Klein".

Through his research and mentoring of many Chinese scholars, Professor Klein has made significant contributions to the development of China’s economic policies. Soon after his first visit in 1980, he became a consultant to the State Information Center. From 1979-80 onwards, extensive scholarly exchange has been maintained with China, watching, interpreting, and trying to help the economy flourish. Professor Klein was also instrumental in helping China to build its first economic model for policy planning in the 1980s. A recent example is that with the help of two visiting scholars from China’s State Information Center, Ms Liping Tao and Mr Huiqing Gao, in summer 2004, Professor Klein’s research demonstrated that China’s GDP growth rate had been even stronger than people realized, even though many economists had serious debates about the accuracy of China’s reported GDP growth rate.

Known as “ the father of econometric”, Professor Klein has been the president of the Econometric Society and the American Economic Association, serves as a consultant to U.S. and Canadian governments, a member of National Sciences Academy. He is also a member of the board of directors at W P Carey & Co.
