澳門大學今（28）日舉行“澳門大學榮譽博士講座”，由澳大榮譽工商管理博士、2011年諾貝爾經濟學獎得主湯瑪斯‧薩金特（Thomas J. Sargent）以“美國家庭再分配與保障的分析”為題發表演說，分享其在該領域的最新研究成果，吸引社會各界人士參與。
澳大副校長許敬文致辭時表示，薩金特教授憑對宏觀經濟中因果關係的實證研究作出卓越貢獻，於2011年獲頒諾貝爾經濟學獎；其在宏觀經濟學、貨幣經濟學、時間序列計量經濟學等領域的開創性研究，深刻影響著現代經濟理論及公共政策的發展。
講座上，薩金特教授探討了如何以可加函數（Additive Functionals）和動態模式分解法（Dynamic Mode Decompositions），分析美國家庭在消費者支出調查中私人勞動收入、稅後收入和消費之間的共同演化過程。他亦介紹了截面不平等與再分配如何影響總收入，以及相關因素對經濟福利評估及政策設計帶來的重要啟示。

UM Doctor of Business Administration honoris causa gives talk on redistribution and insurance in US household data
The University of Macau (UM) held a UM Doctor honoris causa Lecture today (28 November). Thomas J. Sargent, recipient of the Doctor of Business Administration honoris causa from UM and the 2011 Nobel laureate in Economic Sciences, delivered a talk titled ‘Quantifying Redistribution and Insurance in U.S. Household Data’, where he shared his latest research findings. The lecture attracted a large and diverse audience.
In his speech, Michael Hui, vice rector of UM, highlighted Prof Sargent’s remarkable achievements, particularly his empirical research on cause and effect in the macroeconomy, which earned him the Nobel Prize in Economic Sciences in 2011. Hui also emphasised that Prof Sargent’s pioneering contributions to macroeconomics, monetary economics, and time-series econometrics have profoundly shaped modern economic theory and public policy.
During the lecture, Prof Sargent presented his latest research, which employs additive functionals and dynamic mode decompositions to analyse the co-evolution of private earned income, post-tax-and-transfer income, and consumption in US household data from the Consumer Expenditure Survey. He also examined how cross-sectional inequality and redistribution interact with aggregate income, offering insights with important implications for economic welfare evaluation and policy design.
The event concluded with a Q&A session moderated by Yu Jun, dean of the Faculty of Business Administration at UM, during which Prof Sargent actively engaged in discussions with participants on the lecture’s topic.
