摘要
本文系统梳理了美国农业特色应用经济学学科发展历程及其研究生教育的突出特点,并以美国康奈尔大学为典型案例展开深入分析,客观总结了美国农业特色应用经济学研究生教育的优势和经验.当前我国农业院校的应用经济学学科在知识体系、专业特色等方面已取得长足发展,但在师资力量、课程体系、培养理念和平台建设等方面仍与美国一流农业特色院校存在差距.高度重视扩充和建设高水平人才队伍、培养和引进标志性学科人才、建设宽泛的专业口径、树立"新文科+新农科"的培养理念、打造国际化交流平台等措施是助力我国农业院校建设世界一流农业特色应用经济学学科的重要途径.
Abstract
This article systematically reviews the development process of agricultural and applied economics in the United States and the prominent characteristics of its graduate education.Taking Cornell University as a typical case,an in-depth analysis is conducted to objectively summarize the advantages and experience of graduate education in agricultural and applied economics in the United States.Now,significant progress has been made in the construction of the discipline of applied economics in China's agricultural colleges and universities in terms of knowledge system,professional characteristics and other aspects.However,there are still gaps in faculty quality,curriculum system,training concepts,and platform construction compared to top agricultural colleges and universities in the United States.We propose that in the process of promoting the construction of applied economics in agricultural colleges and universities in China,measures such as expanding and building a high-level talent team,cultivating and introducing iconic talent in academic disciplines,broadening the scope of specialty,establishing the training concept of"New Liberal Arts+New Agricultural Science"and creating an international exchange platform are essential for helping China's agricultural colleges and universities build a world-class discipline of agricultural and applied economics.
