Every year's science and technology event is nothing more than the Nobel Prize for learning.
On December 10, 1896, Swedish chemist and entrepreneur Nobel died in Sanremo in Italy. It wrote in its will that most of the property will be used to reward those who have made the greatest contribution to mankind in the fields of physics, chemistry, physiology, and medicine, literature and peace. Executor took 4 years to convince all parties to comply with Nobel's last wishes. In 1901, the first Nobel Prize in Physics, Chemistry, Physiology, Medicine, Literature and Peace were awarded. There was no economics prize in
initially set up. According to the official website of Nobel Prize , in 1968, Swedish Central Bank (Sveriges Riksbank) established the Economics Prize commemorating the founder of Nobel Prize Alfred Nobel. The award is based on a donation received by the Nobel Foundation on the 300th anniversary of the establishment of the Swedish Central Bank.
Nobel Prize in Economics has been awarded 53 times between 1969 and 2021, with 89 winners. Although the Nobel Prize in Economics is not the traditional Nobel Prize, since its establishment, it has been awarded by Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences in accordance with the same guidelines as the Nobel Prize since 1901.
On the evening of October 10, Beijing time, the final answer of the 2022 Nobel Prize was finally revealed. In recognition of his research on banking and financial crisis, the Nobel Prize officially awarded the 2022 Nobel Prize in Economics to three economists, former chairman of the Federal Reserve, Ben Bernanke, Ben Bernanke, Professor of Economics at the University of Chicago, and Philip Dybvig, economist at Washington University in St. Louis. In the award speech, the Nobel Prize Official wrote, “(Three Winners) greatly improved our understanding of the role of banks in the economy, especially during the financial crisis. An important finding in their research is why avoiding bank failures is crucial to the economy.” According to the Nobel Prize Official, the modern banking research clarifies why we need banks, how to make banks less vulnerable in the crisis, and how bank failures exacerbate the occurrence of financial crisis. The basis of this research was laid by Ben Bernanke, Douglas Diamond and Philip DiBwig in the early 1980s. Their analysis has important practical significance for regulating financial markets and responding to financial crises.
Today I will talk about the most proud university in a university in southwestern China: Southwest University of Finance and Economics is the most proud university in the world. The Nobel Prize is not worth mentioning, and it is not as good as the assessment of Chinese universities.
Philip DiBowig is now a professor of economics at Washington University in St. Louis, with major research areas including asset pricing , portfolio and corporate governance (mainly banking).

received a Ph.D. in economics from Yale University in the United States in 1981. He has worked at Princeton University, Yale University, and Washington University (St. Louis) in the United States. He has served as an academic position such as the editor of the magazine "The Review of Financial Studies" of the Western Financial Society.
In 2008, he was hired as a professor of finance at Southwest University of Finance and Economics and consulting expert on finance discipline construction, and taught finance courses, held academic lectures, and guided young teachers and doctoral students.
Part-time Dean of the Institute of Finance, Southwest University of Finance, from 2010 to 2021.
from media (Observer.com 2022-10-12):
"If, I just say, if, if Dibwig is still the dean of Southwest University of Finance and Economics, wouldn't it be that a professor at a Chinese university won the Nobel Prize in Economics?
Please note that I am talking about a Chinese university. The University of Chicago has produced 97 Nobel Prize winners, and a considerable number of them are not native to the university, or even American nationality, but are working at the university. From this perspective, if Dibwig is still the dean of Southwest University of Finance and Economics, it is naturally that a professor at the university will win the award.
But according to a reliable friend, the main reason is that the three years of the epidemic, domestic and foreign traffic barriers, and it is not a problem for the professor to come to the university. In the end, the two sides broke up friendly. But from Professor Dibwig's self-introduction, so many Chinese elements and mixed Chinese characters, his love for China and Chengdu should come from the heart. Of course, some friends also said that fortunately, Professor Dibwig did not teach at a Chinese university, otherwise, can the Nobel Prize be awarded to him? "
and Professor Wang Tianding from the Ocean University of China said: The ten-year cooperation between Southwest University of Finance and Economics and Professor Dibwig also shows that some cities in the mainland have also taken positive steps in attracting top-notch scholars to serve the school, which is gratifying.
In addition, according to some online information, Professor Dibwig often wears Tang suit , likes Erhu , Hulusi and Tai Chi promoter , and has an unconcealed love for Chinese culture. During his tenure at Southwest University of Finance and Economics, he successively won honorary titles such as Yangtze River Scholar Lecture Professor of the Ministry of Education, China Government Friendship Award and Chengdu Municipal Government Friendship Award.
Objectively, he has actually become an image ambassador of Chinese culture, which is also an achievement that cannot be ignored in cooperation between Southwest University of Finance and Economics and Professor Dibwig. Therefore, this academic origin is already worthy of Southwest University of Finance and Economics.
For Southwest University of Finance and Economics and many netizens, Professor Dibwig did not have the title of Dean of the Institute of Finance and Economics when he won the award, which is certainly a small regret. However, more importantly, the school should carefully summarize Professor Dibwig's experience during his tenure as the dean of the institute, consolidate his existing achievements, and further improve the academic status of the Institute of Finance and Economics of Southwest University of Finance and Economics in the field of international financial research. At the same time, we must further improve the introduction of foreign talents in the future and attract more world-class academic talents to exchange and serve in the school.
From another perspective, in fact, even if Professor Dibwig is still the dean of the Institute of Finance and Economics of Southwest University of Finance and Economics, his winning of the Nobel Prize in Economics this year can more directly increase the international popularity of Southwest University of Finance and Economics to a certain extent, but this does not mean that my country's economic research has achieved Nobel Prize-level achievements.
Therefore, the public opinion field's feelings about "Southwest's wealth is a bit of a loss" may be put on hold for the time being. A better summary of experience may be what we need to do now.
and more netizens said: Professor Dibwig was dismissed by Southwest University of Finance and Economics.
Now we need a positive response from Southwest University of Finance and Economics.
