In October 2018, SHSID signed an educational collaboration agreement with HSBC China. Thus, Mr. Xu Yifan, the Vice President of Senior Wealth Consultant of HSBC China, was invited to address the topic of Behavioral Finance: an academic field with a combination of Psychology and Economics. Many students who participated in investment and business competitions previously attended the lecture and showed great interest in knowing more about how psychology can be applied in the analysis of human behaviors in economics and businesses.

Last semester, students in different economic courses started to create economics drama projects, covering various micro and macro issues. They first chose their own topics and then developed scripts and scenes. They performed their projects in their classes last semester and then put them into videos. These videos were played repeatedly during the week and surprised many students and teachers with their creativity and academic quality.

The questions in the rounds cover various areas, including Microeconomics, Macroeconomics, trade and business, as well as hot national and international economic issues. Many students found joy and a stronger interest in learning more economics and business knowledge by participating in this year’s Super Quiz Bowl.

Every year, many SHSID students participate in different business challenges outside of school and achieve great results. The representatives of these contests shared their experiences and encouraged their peers to read more economic articles and reports, think actively, and have more discussions so that they can improve their understanding of economic theories and problem-solving.
