Gary Becker's Impact on Economics and Policy
回顾了加里·贝克尔将经济学分析拓展到歧视、犯罪威慑、生育、人力资本和家庭等传统非经济领域的研究，强调其理论的政策相关性及对政府和非政府组织实践的指导作用。
Gary Becker was one of the greatest thinkers of the 20th century. He advanced social science by introducing economic thinking into areas that were thought to be off limits. Because his theory was motivated by his desire to explain the world, his analyses were highly policy relevant. His work on discrimination, deterrence of crime, fertility, human capital, and the family all produced implications that were testable and verified by his and others' empirical research. Equally important, each research area provided policy guidance and many of his ideas have been implemented by government and non-government organizations.
