但由丹尼尔•考夫曼和魏尚进（音译）撰写的一份世界银行（WorldBank）报告显示，如果计入隐性成本，增长优势就没那么显著了。

But it becomes less so once the hidden costs are factored in , according to a World Bank study by Daniel Kaufmann and Shang-Jin Wei .

而哥伦比亚大学（ColumbiaUniversity）教授魏尚进在一次研讨会上称，由于性别比严重失衡，这个趋势可能会一直持续到未来几年。

And in the coming years , the trend will likely continue as the ratio gets progressively out of balance , said Columbia University professor Shang-Jin Wei recently at a symposium .

魏尚进在纽约哥伦比亚商学院（ColumbiaBusinessSchool）负责中国商业与经济研究。他指出，如果进行IPO，将使公司的管理层一夜之间成为亿万富翁。

An IPO would also make much of the company 's top management instant billionaires , points out Shang-Jin Wei , who chairs Chinese Business and Economy studies at Columbia Business School in New York .

“赚钱变得越来越重要，”哥伦比亚大学JeromeA.Chazen国际商业研究院院长魏尚进称。

" Acquiring wealth becomes far more important , " says Wei , director of the Jerome a. Chazen Institute of international business at Columbia .

正因为如此，哥伦比亚大学（ColumbiaUniversity）教授魏尚进2012年所做的调查显示，2003-2009年间，在中国35个主要城市中，房价上涨的部分中高达48%（价值约合8万亿美元）都与国内男女比例失衡有关。

as a result , between 2003 and 2009 , as much as 48 % ( or $ 8 trillion worth ) of the rise in property values across China 's 35 major cities is linked to the nation 's gender imbalance , according to a 2012 study by Columbia University professor Shang-Jin Wei .

魏尚进估计，同期性别失衡的贡献率平均达到2个百分点。

Wei estimates the gender imbalance , on average , contributed 2 percentage points annually during that period .

魏尚进表示，随着世界第二大经济体国民收入的不断增加，想多生孩子的夫妇可能会越来越多。

Wei says as incomes rise in the world 's second largest economy , it 's likely that more couples will have more children .

魏尚进列举了两个原因：虽然中国要在10-15年之后才能看到重大的变化，但是给更多的家庭生二胎的机会将有助于平衡男女比例。

Wei cites two reasons : It could take another 10 to 15 years before China sees any fundamental changes , but giving more couples a chance to have two children would help balance the male-to-female ratio .
