2024 NEC Critical Thinking案例分析

NEC中國站組委會(hui) 於(yu) 2月24日公布Critical Thinking案例，據官方要求,3月4日即將提交報告和PPT,如此之短時間，要求在10天之內(nei) 需產(chan) 出高質量的報告,對部分選手來說備賽壓力會(hui) 比較大，再次特邀機構經濟學導師來教你如何破題，一起往下看看吧！

跟著老師一起走進今日議題：

1.NEC-DR中國站問題&破題思路

2.報告和PPT的答辯評分標準

3.NEC複賽備考難點

01、NEC-DR中國站問題&破題思路

問題：

As a member of an economic advisory committee tasked with exploring policy initiatives, you are being asked to view fossil fuel reduction through an economic lens and make suggestions for how to curb the country’s increasing dependence on foreign oil. There are several aspects to consider, including the strong economic incentives to maintain the status quo, as people have become reliant on things such as their ability to drive their cars to and from work, for example.

Your job is to propose some policies that include the following questions:

● What are the costs and benefits of reducing the dependence on fossil fuels?

● What are some policies that affect the demand for fossil fuels?

● What are some policies that affect the supply of fossil fuels?

● What unintended consequences might your policies create? For example, how might your policies affect the price and quantity of goods that currently rely on fossil fuels for their production and/or distribution?

● How do short-run and long-run effects differ?

解題思路：

你們(men) 如何看待化石燃料的減少，並就如何遏製國家對外國石油日益增長的依賴提出建議。有幾個(ge) 方麵需要考慮，包括維持現狀的經濟激勵，比如,因為(wei) 人們(men) 已經變得依賴於(yu) 開車上下班。

報告整體(ti) 結構及重點分析思路可參考：

1.用圖表和數據展示,依賴化石燃料的優(you) 勢和劣勢？

2.減少對化石燃料的依賴的成本和收益是什麽(me) ？

3.目前限製化石燃料需求和供應的政策有哪些?以及對經濟造成的影響?

4.你們(men) 團隊的建議是什麽(me) ?這些建議可能會(hui) 造成哪些後果？例如，可能會(hui) 如何影響目前依賴化石燃料生產(chan) 或分銷的商品的價(jia) 格和數量？短期和長期的影響有何不同？

需求端政策:

(1)使用清潔能源的財政補貼

(2)對燃油車的限製——車牌限製包括上牌照和限行

(3)更嚴(yan) 格的油品質量標準和燃油車排放控製技術

(4)投資清潔能源基礎設施

供應端政策: 汽油的稅收增加

(1)建議可以從(cong) 增強公民環保意識及對清潔技術的偏好著手

(2)可以建立家庭碳排放信用機製

02、報告和PPT的答辯評分標準

03、NEC複賽備考難點

難點一：Critical Thinking案例大剖析部分對於(yu) Smart組別學生難度較大，一個(ge) 是學生缺乏案例分析經驗，麵對題目無從(cong) 下手。

難點二：論文整體(ti) 產(chan) 出時間緊張，距離案例發布（2月24日）到成果提交（3月4日）隻有10天。

難點三：針對經濟學測評內(nei) 容有所遺忘，複賽內(nei) 容難度提升，學生既要補齊經濟學知識，又要拓展複賽涉及內(nei) 容，備賽壓力較大。
