May 2007, Nobel Prize for Economics (Sydney)
 |
Professor Sir James Mirrlees During Sir James Mirrlees taught at Oxford, he published the economic models and equations for which he would eventually be awarded his Nobel Prize. They centred around situations in which economic information is asymmetrical or incomplete, determining the extent to which they should affect the optimal rate of saving in an economy. Among other results, they demonstrated the principles of "moral hazard" and "optimal income taxation" discussed in the books of William Vickrey. The methodology has since become the standard in the field. |

 |
Professor Rob Engle Engle developed new statistical models of volatility that captured the tendency of stock prices and other financial variables to move between high volatility and low volatility periods:ARCH(Autoregressive Conditional Heteroskedasticity). These statistical models have become essential tools of modern asset pricing theory and practice. |

Dec 2001, FQ (financial quality) conference (Beijing)
 |
The book Rich Dad Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki was pretty attractive and went so popular in China during the last several years. Since then I began to think about the vocational education in this country, and tried to find more opportunities. That is also one of the reasons I setup my another business Australian Education Information Centre. Download:
