STATEMENT OF PURPOSE - PhD (ECONOMICS)
SOP (PhD Economics)
When introduced to economics in high school I realized that it interestingly
qualified as a subject of both Arts and Science. It was an area defined by
precise rules, principles and axioms and yet there was tremendous scope for
self-expression in the form of interpretation and analysis. This facet of ec
onomics intrigued me very much and I decided to pursue further studies in Ec
onomics.
During my Master's program I equipped myself as best as I could, with variou
s tools used in economic analysis. I obtained rigorous training in mathemati
cs, econometrics and game theory. After completing the Master's program, I j
oined National Institute of Public Finance and Policy, as I was very eager t
o see
how one might use economics to tackle real life problems, where simplified m
odels, and assuming away of problems may offer no respite.  I did some very
interesting work here, which is described in my resume.  I want to delve dee
per into the subject to be able to carry out independent research and analys
is, hence my decision to join the Ph.D. program at UCLA.
International Economics is an area I would really like to explore. I am fasc
inated by game theoretic modeling of issues pertaining to International Econ
omics. I believe that game theoretic models can be effectively used in inter
national economics as many policy issues such as negotiations over mutual re
ductions in tariffs, formation and preservation of customs unions, establish
ment of cartels in the case of internationally traded goods, all have some g
ame theoretic character.
The current "Regionalism versus Multilateralism" debate holds its own attrac
tion.  It should be interesting to analyze the trade diversion effects of Pr
eferential Trading Agreements and also their impact on multilateral institut
ions like GATT.  The strategic trading that takes place in foreign exchange
markets and the variety of auction like mechanisms that have been used for f
oreign exchange trade, especially in developing countries, are intriguing.
During my graduate studies I aim to equip myself with some advanced tools an
d develop my analytical and research capabilities. I want to get an excellen
t command over econometrics to be able to confront stochastic statistical da
ta with exact models of economic theories and also for empirical verificatio
n of other models, which might otherwise be set in a partial equilibrium fra
mework.  I expect to emerge as an economic engineer and an expert in model b
uilding.Econometrics per se, also interests me as a subject of economics and
I might like to research in econometric methodology. I want to be an academ
ic economist. I have cleared the National Eligibility test conducted by the
University Grants Commission of India, which makes me eligible to teach an u
ndergraduate course in economics in any Indian university.
I want to study at UCLA, as it emphasizes on the rigor and analytical tools
that are necessary for academic research. I have well-developed analytical a
nd mathematical skills and I want to exploit these skills to the greatest ex
tent. I feel the help and guidance that can be provided to me by the disting
uished faculty of your university will be invaluable. I am sure if I am give
n the opportunity to study at your university that attracts some of the best
students from all over the world, it will provide an environment competitiv
e enough to bring out the best in me.

我说人生哪，如果赏过一回痛哭淋漓的风景，写一篇杜鹃啼血的文章，与一个赏心悦目的人错肩，也就够了。不要收藏美、钤印美，让美随风而逝。生命最清醉的时候，是将万里长江视为一匹白绢，裂帛。(简桢)
