剑桥经济系 Part I 预备书单
Faculty of Economics · Preliminary Part I Reading List
这是剑桥经济系发给拿到 offer 的新生的预备书单(这一版来自 Robinson College)。
选书标准是容易借到、价格不贵——学校图书馆、公共图书馆基本都有。
带 ★ 的是对应课程的指定教材(recommended text),比其余材料难一截,十月入学前先弄到手会省事。
书单里还有一批 20 世纪英国、欧洲与世界史的书,不对应任何一张 Tripos 卷子。
放进来的理由是:对 20 世纪的基本脉络有概念,课上很多议题才读得懂。
这份书单是
入学准备用的,不是申请阶段的必读清单。
申请阶段真正该做的是 Varian 和 Mankiw,加上你自己那条个性化的阅读线(见
四条方法论)。
这里放出来,是让你知道剑桥认为一个大一新生该有的底子长什么样——同时也说明:
Why Nations Fail 这类书,招生官

Calculators & Computers 考试计算器与软件
经济系考试只认三个型号的计算器,且必须经学校检验盖章:
CASIO FX 115 CASIO FX 570 CASIO FX 991(任意版本)。
到剑桥再买即可,别提前买;已经有这三款之一的,入学后拿去盖章就行。
系里和学院都有公共机房,不带电脑也能上课。要自带的话注意:系里的统计与经济类专业软件基本只有 Windows 版,
公共机房也全是 Windows,所以 Windows 笔记本比 Mac 或 Linux 省事。另外准备好 Office 或 OpenOffice,
装好杀毒和防火墙(不少学院要求装了才给连网)。
Tripos 的所有课程都会用到 STATA。系里的网络提供这个软件,个人机器不能装系里的授权版,
但有些情况下可以以学生价自己买一份。
