AI & Society人工智能与社会人工智能與社會

Artificial intelligence is reshaping every country and every kind of society, at a speed without precedent in human history. It brings an enormous leap in productivity, with possibilities that seem to know no boundary—and for that very reason, it brings society an equally enormous confusion and fear. Will jobs disappear? Where does the wealth flow? What place is left for people? No one can stand apart, and different countries and different groups will meet very different fates. We study the full panorama of AI's impact: how it reshapes labor markets, income distribution, and the structure of society; why prosperity and anxiety are two sides of one coin; and how societies can find their footing amid the upheaval.

人工智能正以人类历史上前所未有的速度,全面重塑每一个国家、每一种社会形态。它带来生产力的巨大跃升,其可能性近乎没有边界;也正因如此,它给整个社会带来了同样巨大的困惑与恐慌——工作会不会消失?财富流向谁?人还剩下什么位置?没有人能置身事外,而不同的国家、不同的人群,将迎来截然不同的命运。我们研究 AI 冲击的全景:它如何重塑劳动力市场、收入分配与社会结构,繁荣与焦虑为何一体两面,以及社会应当如何在巨变中安顿自身。

Trade & the Global Order国际贸易与全球格局國際貿易與全球格局

Tariffs are back, export controls are spreading, and supply chains are being redrawn—globalization is being rewritten by geopolitics. We study trade in the age of economic security: the real cost of supply-chain resilience and "de-risking," how the race for critical minerals drives great-power competition, and Asia's position and choices in a fragmenting world economy.

关税回归、出口管制、供应链重组——全球化正在被地缘政治重写。我们研究"经济安全"时代的贸易:供应链韧性与"去风险"的真实代价,关键矿产争夺如何牵动大国博弈,以及在一个走向碎片化的世界经济中,亚洲的位置与选择。

關稅回歸、出口管制、供應鏈重組——全球化正在被地緣政治重寫。我們研究「經濟安全」時代的貿易:供應鏈韌性與「去風險」的真實代價,關鍵礦產爭奪如何牽動大國博弈,以及在一個走向碎片化的世界經濟中,亞洲的位置與選擇。

Climate Policy: An Age of Rethinking气候政策:反思的时代氣候政策:反思的時代

Well-intentioned policies do not automatically produce just outcomes. When carbon prices push up energy bills, who pays? When subsidies flow to clean energy, who is left behind? More important still: from Europe's greenlash to America's sharp retreat, climate action is ebbing worldwide—the world has entered an age of rethinking. We re-examine two decades of climate and environmental policy with empirical evidence: what actually worked, and what cost much while delivering little? Who bears the costs, who reaps the benefits—and how do people's real responses undercut the very goals of policy? To rethink is not to reject; it is how the next stage of the journey is made steadier.

出于善意的政策,并不自动带来公正的结果。碳价推高能源账单时,谁在买单?补贴流向新能源时,谁被留在身后?更重要的是:从欧洲的"绿色反弹"到美国气候政策的大幅回摆,全球气候行动正在集体退潮——世界已经进入一个反思的时代。我们以实证方法重新审视过去二十年的气候与环境政策:哪些真正有效,哪些代价高昂却收效甚微?成本与收益落在谁头上,不同人群的真实反应又如何反噬政策目标?反思不是否定,而是为了让下一程走得更稳。

出於善意的政策,並不自動帶來公正的結果。碳價推高能源帳單時,誰在買單?補貼流向新能源時,誰被留在身後?更重要的是:從歐洲的「綠色反彈」到美國氣候政策的大幅回擺,全球氣候行動正在集體退潮——世界已經進入一個反思的時代。我們以實證方法重新審視過去二十年的氣候與環境政策:哪些真正有效,哪些代價高昂卻收效甚微?成本與收益落在誰頭上,不同人群的真實反應又如何反噬政策目標?反思不是否定,而是為了讓下一程走得更穩。

Food, Climate & Earth Observation粮食、气候与地球观测糧食、氣候與地球觀測

When El Niño disrupts harvests across the globe and food prices push the most vulnerable toward hunger, food security once again becomes a first-order concern for the world. Using satellite remote sensing and computational methods, we monitor cropland, yields, and the shocks of extreme weather at scale—turning observations from orbit into early warning of food crises, and into evidence for agricultural policy on the ground.

当厄尔尼诺扰动全球收成、粮价把最脆弱的人群推向饥饿,粮食安全重新成为世界的头等大事。我们用卫星遥感与计算方法,在大尺度上监测耕地、产量与极端天气的冲击,把来自轨道的观测转化为粮食危机的早期预警,和地面上农业政策的证据。

Poverty & Inequality贫困与不平等貧困與不平等

How much do the richest one percent own? Where does a society's tolerance for inequality end—and past what line does a society cease to hold together? We measure the real trends of poverty and inequality through three lenses—wealth, income, and consumption—and study redistribution, social mobility, and equality of opportunity. Inequality is not only a moral question; it is a question of whether society itself can endure.

最富有的百分之一拥有多少?一个社会对不平等的容忍边界在哪里——越过哪条线,社会便不再稳定?我们从财富、收入与消费三个维度测量贫困与不平等的真实趋势,研究再分配、社会流动与机会公平。不平等不只是道德问题,而是社会能否维系的根本问题。

Demography & Social Transformation人口与社会转型人口與社會轉型

Falling birth rates, aging populations, and mass migration are reshaping Asian societies—quietly, and irreversibly. Who will work, and who will care for the old? What becomes of shrinking cities and hollowed-out villages? We study labor, pensions, housing, and intergenerational fairness under this demographic upheaval—perhaps the most certain, and most underestimated, variable of Asia's next thirty years.

少子化、老龄化与大规模人口流动,正在静默而不可逆地重塑亚洲社会。谁来工作,谁来养老?收缩的城市与空心的乡村将走向何方?我们研究人口结构剧变之下的劳动力、养老金、住房与代际公平——这可能是未来三十年亚洲最确定、也最被低估的变量。
