以下是引用danielgogo在2008-12-6 14:41:00的发言：

应该没有什么直接的影响~，除了现在还能经常看到候任总统以外~

似乎有一个Econ教授进了经济顾问团

谢谢！：）

sorry, 马上就要期末考试了，过来答疑的少了些。

    

关于efficient market理论，我想这也算是学科的理论基础了。不论在哪里上课都是肯定要教的。一般都是先教simple
assumptions的情况(比如说 efficient market)，然后再讨论externalities的情况(比如说 non-rational behavior issues)。其实这也是为什么Chicago很重视data-driven。用数据来说话。即使是irrational的情况，也应该用rational的方法来研究、behavior的方法来解释。关于经济的课，是可以隐约感觉到芝加哥学派的影响，但是不到PhD
level，我想对MBA的课来说，学派争论也不是那么夸张。这也主要取决于你以后想做什么。这里选课自由，如果是想做finance的话，也有
behavior
finance的课。如果是想做economist的话，可能学派对口才会比较重要。不过我觉得总的来说，这里的思想非常开放自由，open to
and encourage any challenging to ideas. It's always good to expose to different
ideas, you never know what fresh perspectives you can learn from others.

    

关于Obama与Chicago的关系和影响，Chicago Booth的教授Austan Goolsbee刚被聘为Obama经济顾问 --
Staff Director and Chief Economist of the President’s Economic Recovery
Advisory Board & Member of the Council of Economic Advisers。
这里有两篇相关文章，可以看看。

请教一下，我的背景是计算机。现在在一家financial institution做risk management. 以后打算在buy side做portfolio management的工作。请问Chicago有那些牛课是可以提高quantative skill and analytical skill的呢？还有，我想提高一些soft skill来为portfolio management做准备。能推荐一下有用的课程和好的教授吗？

谢谢！！

请问一下你们的winter information见面会也可以考虑来北京吗？我想北京也一定有很多人想申Booth的。

多谢，

请perspective师兄师姐们谈一下自己的理解，为什么Booth将LEAD这个课程单独作为一个必修课程呢？

谢谢！

这周很多同学都在trek中，希望Prospective students 积极参加各地的活动to get more information about the school. The best part of GSB I think is that people do care about each other. Here I can pick up a few questions.

1)请教一下，我的背景是计算机。现在在一家financial institution做risk management. 以后打算在buy side做portfolio management的工作。请问Chicago有那些牛课是可以提高quantative skill and analytical skill的呢？还有，我想提高一些soft skill来为portfolio management做准备。能推荐一下有用的课程和好的教授吗？

Yes. You can take as many quantitive courses as you wish. Booth has an analyical finance concentration. The school offers classes on financial instruments such as fixed income and derivatives, econometrics and so on. If you still find it not challenging enough, you may take classes with Phd students depending on your background. The fellow students are very smart. And every year there are people going to buy side. Booth should be one of the best places to go if you want to do investment management.

2)请perspective师兄师姐们谈一下自己的理解，为什么Booth将LEAD这个课程单独作为一个必修课程呢？

My personal take is that LEAD is a great venue for you to know your fellow students, build long term relationships. And it is a place where you can test your leadership potentials.

Hi,

How you answer the question about why Chicago except the 名气 and opportunities?

Also Why Chicago are focusing on Ideas? what's your personal feeling about it?

请教一下芝加哥的同学们，芝加哥在non-profit方面有没有什么特点？有没有相关的社团或课程？多谢了。

For the classes on non-profit, yes, we do have. These classes are part of the entrepreneurship concentration.
