让我想起给孩子读的一个故事《乡下老鼠和城里老鼠》。那时就问她想做哪个老鼠，她
竟然反问起我，理由是妈妈去哪里我就去哪里。然后自问，想想对这个问题的回答，大
致也是偏好（性格和三观）的体现了。而且女儿不知道的是，做父母的，其实在地点的
选择上会更多考虑她。
抛去偏好不谈，就一些事实本身也是很有意思的。比如，城市的规模与人均生产率成正
比。平均而言，同样一个人在大城市的生产率会高过在小城市的生产率，除了各种push
and pull forces，对于做研究的人来说，主要是easy access to more, better and
newer information and ideas。
再比如，location is in fact an asset. 这是Princeton的Esteban Rossi-Hansberg
提出的一个观点。基本的大意是，抽象掉现实中各种鸡毛蒜皮的因素，我们对于工作和
居住的location的选择，可以用一个两期模型来近似。如果这一期选择了一个生产率高
的城市（均衡的结果是房价也高），那么当下必然要辛苦很多，但是是为了下一期自己

回答：应该不会。我们赞同高校招生时候考虑申请人的综合素质。综合素质包括申请学
生现在的学术成绩和未来可能的成功潜力，例如申请人是否能在不利的生活环境中仍能
不懈努力等 (i.e. Overcome adversity under socio-economic constraint). 我们相
信这样的定位能给所有的考生提供一个公平竞争的机会，也能给学校足够的弹性来制定
他们的教育的目标。我们认为在高校录取政策上，经济家庭背景（social economic

You do know that "fair" is a subjective term that doesn't equal high scores,
do you? It is very possible that "holistic" equals "fair" in the eyes of
the majority of American. If that is true, the higher percentage of Asian
American in college is not fair and might be abolished together with
affirmative action. |

发帖数: 3030 | 31 The original intention of affirmative action is to safeguard the equal
rights of African American. I don't know if it has done its job and elevated
the social economic status of African American or not.
Now, in the name of fairness, some Chinese American want to abolish
affirmative action. Personally, I believe if they succeed, it would
1) alienate Chinese American even more
2) have no or negative impact on the percentage of Chinese Americans in
private ivy league schools. |
