Hello Delegates!


Hello Everyone,

My name is Zishen Liu. I am a sophomore at UC Berkeley majoring in Mathematics and Economics, and I am an international student from Xuzhou, China. 

This is my fifth year of being involved in Model United Nations. As an Economics student, I have a strong passion for how macroeconomics and public policies can affect us individually and this world as a whole. Model United Nations definitely provides me an opportunity to explore these relationships and to listen to other people's thoughts on interesting Econ-related political issues. 

Outside of the MUN. I love to try different foods and to travel during my free time. I also like to learn different languages. I am currently learning German, Cantonese and Japanese. I would be more than happy to learn some words from you if you can speak another language.

I'll see you all in March at conference!

New ICO by Venezuela?

Hi delegates! We're less than a week away from BMUN and we're so excited to meet all of you soon! This article came out in the Washington Post a few days ago regarding Venezuela's attempt at fighting its inflation by launching its own cryptocurrency (what a great amalgamation of both our case studies!) So far, Venezuela has been able to raise almost $1 billion but what are your opinions on this "Petro" coin? Article: " Venezuela launches the ‘petro,’ its cryptocurrency" by Rachelle Krygier See y'all soon! Sherry

Topic 1 Article: Long-Term Effect of Refugee Employment Bans

Hello delegates! The Immigration Policy Lab at Stanford and ETH Zürich released a paper in November of last year around the long-term effect of refugee employment bans. The link to download the paper can be found at https://www.gsb.stanford.edu/faculty-research/working-papers/long-term-impact-employment-bans-economic-integration-refugees . Although it seems lengthy, I’d like to direct you to the Introduction (pages 3-5) and Discussion (pages 11-12) sections as likely the most valuable for your purposes – the rest of the paper largely concerns a case study on Yugoslav refugees who arrived in Germany in 1999 and 2000 which may be enlightening but mostly concern details about the study and how it was conducted.  See you all at conference next week!
