  Happy people work differently. They’re more productive, more creative, and willing to take greater risks. And new research suggests that happiness might influence1firm’s work, too.
西北人才网登录  Companies located in places with happier people invest more, aording to a recent research paper.2, firms in happy places spend more on R&D (research and development). That’s because happiness is linked to the kind of longer-term thinking3for making investments for the future.
  The researchers wanted to know if the4and inclination for risk-taking that e with happiness would5the way panies invested. So they pared U.S. cities’ average happiness6by Gallup polling with the investment activity of publicly traded firms in those areas.
  7enough, firms’ investment and R&D intensity were correlated with the happiness of the ar
ea in which they were8.But is it really happiness that’s linked to investment, or could something else about happier cities9why firms there spend more on R&D? To find out, the researchers controlled for various10that might make firms more likely to invest – like size, industry, and sales – and for indicators that a place was11to live in, like growth in wages or population. The link between happiness and investment generally12even after aounting for these things.
  The correlation between happiness and investment was particularly strong for younger firms, which the authors13to “less codified decision making process” and the possible presence of “younger and less14managers who are more likely to be influenced by sentiment.” The relationship was15stronger in places where happiness was spread more16.Firms seem to invest more in places where most people are relatively happy, rather than in places with happiness inequality.
  17 this doesn’t prove that happiness causes firms to invest more or to take a longer-term view, the authors believe it at least18at that possibility. It’s not hard to imagine that lo
cal culture and sentiment would help19how executives think about the future. “It surely seems plausible that happy people would be more forward-thinking and creative and20R&D more than the average,” said one researcher.

  It’s true that high-school coding classes aren’t essential for learning puter science in college. Students without experience can catch up after a few introductory courses, said Tom Cortina, the assistant dean at Carnegie Mellon’s School of Computer Science.
  However, Cortina said, early exposure is beneficial. When younger kids learn puter science, they learn that it’s not just a confusing, endless string of letters and numbers — but a tool to build apps, or create artwork, or test hypotheses. It’s not as hard for them to transform their thought processes as it is for older students. Breaking down problems into bite-sized chunks and using code to solve them bees normal. Giving more children this training could increase the number of people interested in the field and help fill the jobs gap, Cortina said.
  Students also benefit from learning something about coding before they get to college, where introductory puter-science classes are packed to the brim, which can drive the less-experienced or-determined students away.
