ZL同學，品學兼優(yōu)，來自北京一所985高校，經濟學專業(yè)。學生有更高的夢想，希望本科畢業(yè)后能夠到美國名校讀研究生。為此，參與了美國名?？蒲校黾訉W術背景，開拓視野，獲得真知。

　　通過美國名校科研老師的指導，申請到了美國大學的科研機會。本文是學生在美國大學科研學習期間所寫的感受，真實、自然。

　　由于學生臨近申請季，國內的大學課程緊張，沒有時間赴美科研，選擇線上指導。美國科研申請老師，特意與哈佛大學老師溝通，安排正常的科研指導外，還安排1名助教為學生輔導作業(yè)，在科研結束后，學生不僅收獲推薦信、科研證書、科研履歷，還順利發(fā)表學術論文一篇。

　　在學生的科研感受結尾處，附錄了學生的科研筆記、科研論文、推薦信文稿，供學生、家長參考。

　　The experience of researching for one month with Harvard University professor is unforgettable. The mentor always offers us help with his patience in the realm of doing research. Firstly, he gave us four papers involving the investment behavior and the financial development. He commanded us to read literatures and learn something new that I never get in touched with before. In the first meeting on line, my mentor told us our final target of this project. In the next meeting, my mentor leaded us to analyze the structure of the article, imparted to us about the information contained in the article.

　　與哈佛大學老師一起研究一個月的經歷令人難以忘懷。 老師總是在研究領域為我們提供幫助。 首先，他給了我們4篇涉及投資行為和金融發(fā)展的論文。 他命令我們閱讀文學，學習一些我以前從未接觸過的新東西。 在第一次科研指導中，我的老師告訴我們這個項目的最終目標。 在接下來的課程中，我的老師帶領我們分析了文章的結構，并向我們傳授了文章中包含的信息。

　　Through the PowerPoint based on the paper which is created by Love in 2006, teacher let us comprehend what is the Neoclassical theory of investment, Arrow-Debreu framework and Asymmetric information. I do not know well about the economic model before, then mentor just introduce some rudimentary knowledge about the mathematical modelling for our better understanding of getting an obvious conclusion through a model. Then he explained the sources of data and tell us how to obtain the ideal data from different kinds of websites accurately and swiftly. The variables used in the article is novel for me, so teacher gradually explained where these variables came from and why did we use these kinds of ratio but not the absolute value.

　　通過基于2006年Love創(chuàng)建的論文的PowerPoint，教師讓我們理解什么是新古典投資理論，Arrow-Debreu框架和非對稱信息。 我之前對經濟模型了解不多，那么老師只是介紹一些關于數學建模的基本知識，以便更好地理解通過模型得出明顯的結論。 然后他解釋了數據來源，并告訴我們如何準確，迅速地從不同類型的網站獲取理想數據。 文章中使用的變量對我來說是新穎的，所以老師逐漸解釋了這些變量的來源，為什么我們使用這些比率而不是絕對值。

　　In the next meeting, mentor told us the method of using STATA and process data with software. What is more, he told us what was the meaning of different kinds of variables value created by scheduled procedure. STATA finally will create graphs with the aim of enabling us to draw a more intuitive conclusion. Mentor finally analyzed every graph and told the implication to us. When we do our final research and hand in our assignment, teacher guided us to run the process we had created, and leaded us to finish the final draft according to the article written by Love.

　　在接下來的科研指導中，老師告訴我們使用STATA和使用軟件處理數據的方法。 更重要的是，他告訴我們由預定程序創(chuàng)建的不同類型的變量值的含義是什么。STATA最終將創(chuàng)建圖表，目的是使我們能夠得出更直觀的結論。 老師終于分析了每一張圖并告訴了我們這個含義。 當我們進行最后的研究并完成任務時，老師指導我們運行我們創(chuàng)建的過程，并引導我們根據Love撰寫的文章完成最終草案。

　　Through the study of one month, I gradually become mature about the scientific research. Previously I do not know about how to accomplish a study. Now I Know that an eminent research must go through hardworking. One has to read thousands of articles first, then find data that suits his research direction. At the same time, he should be versed in mathematical modelling for exploring the nature of the research clearly. What is more, he should learn some knowledge of computer programming to deal with the data and finally obtain the satisfied conclusion through his own analyzing. If one masters the abundant knowledge of mathematical, economics and computer, he may make a difference in scientific research.

　　通過一個月的研究，我逐漸走向成熟的科學研究。 以前我不知道如何完成一項研究。 現(xiàn)在我知道一項杰出的研究必須經過努力才能完成。 首先必須閱讀數千篇文章，然后找到適合他研究方向的數據。 同時，他應該精通數學建模，以便清楚地探索研究的本質。 更重要的是，他應該學習一些計算機編程知識來處理數據，最后通過他自己的分析得到滿意的結論。 如果掌握了豐富的數學，經濟學和計算機知識，他就可以在科學研究中發(fā)揮作用。

　　During this period, there was a selfless teaching assistant who taught us the theory research method. His content was based on the Investment textbook. I am a student whose major is economics, so I am not proficient in the realm of finance. Through his theory classes of investment, I mastered a good deal of financial terms, the fundamental operation of financial development. The class enriched my financial knowledge, I think it will contribute to my further study, so I am grateful to the assistant for broadening my horizons.

　　在此期間，有一位無私的助教教我們理論知識。 他的內容基于投資教學的書籍。 我是一名主修經濟學的學生，所以我不擅長金融領域。 通過他的理論投資指導，我掌握了大量的財務條款，金融發(fā)展的基本運作。 這堂課豐富了我的金融知識，我認為這將有助于我的進一步學習，所以我很感激助理拓寬了我的視野。

　　I have learned a lot through the research experience, I think it will be a rewarding experience for me to keep moving forward on the road to financial learning and researching!

　　通過這段時間的金融學科研，我學到了很多東西，我認為在金融學習和研究的道路上繼續(xù)前進對我來說將是一次有益的經歷!

　　推薦信文稿(部分)：

　　During the program, Mr. Liu initiated a research project named Factors affecting the investment of listed companies in China: Evidence from panel VAR. From selecting the topic at the beginning, to reading academic journals on listed companies and panel VAR, collecting the data, writing reviews and making the presentation PPT, Liu was an active participant throughout the process, presenting earnest and inquiring attitude. The data they collected during the process integrated the main financial index and governance structure index of the two databases. By using Stata, they have treated the data with a more methodical and rigorous attitude. In the final presentation, Liu displayed good logical thinking, confidence and oral defense skills, which assured a good result for the speech. His presentation was spoken highly of not only by me, but also all the fellow students.

　　On top of that, I was more than glad to witness Mr. Liu rapid growth in academic research capability. As I mentioned, he has conducted a presentation on investment of listed Chinese companies using VAR. They eventually generated an academic paper, at the end of which, he clearly listed all the cited articles and journals, which well demonstrated his academic rigor, as well as satisfying literature-reading capability. Through reading his paper, I believe that his findings contributed to the financial constraints and investments decisions by separating fundamental factors and financial factors that influence the investment. Specifically, impulse-response functions allowed people to obtain more obvious evidence of the importance of financial factors. Therefore, I believe that his paper could be applied to further exploration on the factors that influence the investment decisions made by enterprises. Also, such achievements have well satisfied my expectations for an undergraduate student, and I believe Mr. Liu could keep forging forward to greater progress.
