Zhuo Shuaihe, a PhD student from the Department of Economics,\nFaculty of Social Sciences, University of Macau (UM), recently completed his dissertation\nunder the supervision of Professor Sir James Mirrlees, a co-recipient of the\n1996 Nobel Prize in Economic Sciences and a recipient of an honorary doctorate\nfrom UM. \u2018I feel very lucky to be a PhD student at UM. It is very exciting to\nstudy here,\u2019 says Zhuo.<\/p>
The dissertation, titled \u2018Labor Reallocation,\nMigration and Productivity Growth in China\u2019, explores the Chinese labor market\ntheoretically and empirically and proposes labour market models that can be\nserved as practical tools for policy implications.<\/p>
\u2018Prof Mirrlees has put lots of effort into my dissertation\nsince the very beginning. He cleared doubts about the theme of my PhD project\nand shed light on how to do an in-depth analysis,\u2019 said Zhuo after his oral\ndefense. \u2018Prof Mirrlees\u2019 profound knowledge in mathematics has inspired me a\nlot and I enjoyed the whole research process. He was always resourceful and helpful\nwhenever I had problems in deriving complicated models. He has read my text\nmany times and even polished it word by word. His comments were very critical\nand constructive. What impressed me the most is his creative thinking skills in\nthe field of economics. I am very thankful for all he has done for my dissertation.\u2019<\/p>
