根据以下三段经历，请写出我申请经济学硕士研究生项目的优势：A solid theoretical foundation is the driving force behind my empirical research, prompting me to request to join the economic research group led by my instructor. As a research assistant, I conducted an analysis of the economic development of cities in Guangdong. When selecting indicators to characterize urban economic development, I incorporated factors such as per capita disposable income of urban/rural residents as measurement standards based on the total output value of various industries, ensuring both economic significance and comprehensive analysis. Afterwards, I employed principal factor analysis to eliminate redundant features between indicators, thereby enhancing the clarity of data distribution and identifying potential outliers. To equitably design a scoring system for urban economic development capacity, I employed the maximum variance orthogonal rotation approach to rotate the mutually independent factor structure, thereafter aggregating the computed scores based on weights to obtain a linear model. Ultimately, I summed up the factor proportion values as the weight criterion to obtain the overall score of economic growth capacity for each city in Guangdong Province. This initial practice has made me realize the practical value of quantitative analysis, and inspired me to explore more possibilities.

On the other hand, my research on local economy indicate persistent social inequality in China, which motivated me choose the topic of digital inclusive finance for my dissertation. The extensive financial coverage entailed a cluttered and varied content; therefore, I utilized the widely used index indicators to characterize the development level of digital inclusive finance from three dimensions: breadth of coverage, depth of use, and degree of digitization. Confronted with the difficult to quantify urban-rural income gap, after considering it, I gave up the conventional method of using per capita disposable income and instead to add the Theil index as the dependent variable to the model. Regrettably, the initially formulated mesomeric effect model did not demonstrate the anticipated effect. Upon examination, I concluded that the influence of factors was subordinate to the significance of time in this study. Consequently, I ultimately transitioned to a time fixed effects model. The new model more effectively illustrated the temporal trend of the dependent variable, incorporating aspects that were previously challenging to explicitly detect.

Following these two scientific research endeavors, my data analysis skills have markedly enhanced, and I have acquired a foundational comprehension of macroeconomic. After gaining some experience in macro-level analysis, I have cultivated a curiosity about specific financial services at the micro-level, and hope to gain a more profound understanding of the financial market through internship.

So in 2024, I interned at the Securities Affairs Department of Tecnon Electronics Co., Ltd. I was assigned to the semiconductor industry team that the company was preparing to expand into, tasked with conducting market research and investment analysis. After extensively collecting financial statements and annual reports from semiconductor companies, I initially categorized the financial levels based on market regions, subsequently filtering the data by distinct business product lines. I screened the financial status and transaction data to analyze the performance of different product lines, and evaluated the profitability and operational efficiency of the enterprise using profit indicators such as net profit margin and return on investment. In assessing the current market conditions, I independently learned Python to enhance efficiency and precision. Utilizing the Beautiful Soup library, I accomplished HTML page analysis and the extraction of essential information. Subsequently, after processing the data with the Pandas library, I employed the ARIMA model from the Statsmodels package to analyse the time series. Finally, I utilized the Matplotlib library for data visualization, and produced comprehensive analytical reports for four companies. Throughout this internship, I was exposed to both industry analysis and investment strategy assessment.
