Sir, I want to know how to tackle those topics which are quoted negatively like ‘Social media’ is inherently a selfish medium’ and likewise topics. Do they want us to advocate this or write differently which confirms, no they are not bad but good.

Please guide Sir.

Identifying important topics : Analyzing previous year papers helps candidates identify the recurring themes and important topics that have been frequently asked in the exam. It allows them to prioritize their study areas and focus on high-yield topics.

Practicing time management : Solving previous year papers under timed conditions simulates the actual exam environment and helps aspirants practice time management. This is crucial as the UPSC CSE is known for its lengthy papers and requires candidates to answer a large number of questions in a limited time.

Assessing readiness and performance : Attempting previous year papers allows candidates to assess their preparation level and performance. It helps them identify their strengths and weaknesses, enabling them to work on areas that need improvement.

Enhancing problem-solving skills : The UPSC questions often require critical thinking and analytical skills to answer. Regular practice with previous year papers hones the problem-solving abilities of aspirants and prepares them for the challenging questions in the actual exam.

Gaining familiarity with question types : Going through past papers exposes candidates to a variety of question types, including objective, subjective, and case-study based questions. This familiarity can boost their confidence and reduce anxiety during the actual exam.

Learning from mistakes : Attempting previous year papers allows candidates to learn from their mistakes and avoid repeating them in the actual exam. It is an essential part of the learning process and helps in continuous improvement.

Staying updated with current trends : By analyzing recent UPSC papers, candidates can stay updated with the current trends in the examination, such as the focus on specific topics, changing question patterns, and evolving demands of the syllabus.

Revision and reinforcement : Revisiting previous year papers aids in reinforcing the concepts and information studied during preparation. It helps candidates consolidate their learning and retain the knowledge better.

The Most Popular Stories and Research Papers of 2017

essay paper 2017

No surprise: Race and gender were prime topics of interest for Harvard Business School Working Knowledge readers in 2017. Also popular were articles about research that gave us greater understanding about how leaders succeed, tips that help all of us be more productive, and insights into how we can lead more balanced lives.

Tell us in the comment section below what you thought were the most interesting business trends of the year.

  • Minorities Who 'Whiten' Job Resumes Get More Interviews African American and Asian job applicants who mask their race on resumes seem to have better success getting job interviews, according to research by Katherine DeCelles and colleagues.
  • Having No Life is the New Aspirational Lifestyle It used to be that we equated power and prestige with a leisurely, luxurious lifestyle. Today, lack of leisure time is the real status symbol. Anat Keinan discusses what that means for consumer marketing. .
  • Courage: The Defining Characteristic of Great Leaders Courageous leaders inspire employees, energize customers, and position their companies on the front lines of societal change. Bill George explains why there aren't more of them.
  • Why Employers Favor Men Why are women discriminated against in hiring decisions? Research by Katherine Coffman , Christine Exley , and Muriel Niederle finds the answer is more subtle than expected.
  • The Right Way to Cry in Front of Your Boss Crying at work can be more than embarrassing—it can hurt your career. Elizabeth Baily Wolf discusses a technique to reframe distress as passion. .
  • The Three Types of Leaders Who Create Radical Change Every successful social movement requires three distinct leadership roles: the agitator, the innovator, and the orchestrator, according to institutional change expert Julie Battilana.
  • Want to Be Happier? Spend Some Money on Avoiding Household Chores In an age of time scarcity, buying our way out of the negative moments in the day is an important key to happiness, according to research by Ashley V. Whillans , Michael I. Norton , Elizabeth W. Dunn , Paul Smeets , and Rene Bekkers .
  • Asking Questions Can Get You a Better Job or a Second Date Knowing how to keep a conversation going can improve your career as well as your social life, according to research by Alison Wood Brooks and colleagues.
  • Why Productivity Suffers When Employees Are Allowed to Schedule Their Own Tasks Deviating from an organization’s prescribed task schedule tends to erode productivity, even among the most experienced workers, according to new research from María R. Ibáñez, Jonathan R. Clark, Robert S. Huckman, and Bradley R. Staats .
  • People Have an Irrational Need to Complete 'Sets' of Things People are irrationally motivated to complete arbitrary sets of tasks, donations, or purchases—and organizations can take advantage of that, according to new research by Kate Barasz , Leslie John , Elizabeth Keenan , and Michael Norton .

Plus: The year’s 5 most downloaded research papers

Working Knowledge publishes summaries of working papers written by Harvard Business School faculty—along with links to the full text of those papers. Here are the five most downloaded working papers of 2017:

  • Why and How Investors Use ESG Information: Evidence from a Global Survey Survey data by Amir Amel-Zadeh and George Serafeim from more than 400 senior investment professionals provides insights into why and how investors use environmental, social, and governance (ESG) information as well as the challenges in using this information.
  • Reinventing the American Wine Industry: Marketing Strategies and the Construction of Wine Culture Since the 1960s, the United States has seen spectacular growth in wine consumption. Al Hisano explores how businesses reinveted the image of wine. This creation of the new market, like other consumer products, had social and cultural consequences. In the US, wine became a status symbol and a renforcer of social and class divisions.
  • Task Selection and Workload: A Focus on Completing Easy Tasks Hurts Long-Term Performance Employees facing increased workloads usually tackle easier tasks first. This study by Francesca Gino and colleagues tests the performance implications of such prioritization. Findings show that it happens because people feel positive emotions after task completion, yet it could hurt long-term performance. Workloads could be structured to help employee development as well as organizational performance.
  • Rainy Day Stocks Niels Gormsen and Robin Greenwood identify characteristics of stocks that an investor who is worried about bad times should buy— a “rainy day” portfolio.
  • Diversity in Innovation Paul A. Gompers and Sophie Q. Wang discuss a systematic and persistent lack of female, Hispanic, and African American labor market participation in the innovation sector, through both entrepreneurs and the venture capitalists that fund them.

Artificial Intelligence and the Modern Productivity Paradox: A Clash of Expectations and Statistics

We live in an age of paradox. Systems using artificial intelligence match or surpass human level performance in more and more domains, leveraging rapid advances in other technologies and driving soaring stock prices. Yet measured productivity growth has declined by half over the past decade, and real income has stagnated since the late 1990s for a majority of Americans. We describe four potential explanations for this clash of expectations and statistics: false hopes, mismeasurement, redistribution, and implementation lags. While a case can be made for each, we argue that lags have likely been the biggest contributor to the paradox. The most impressive capabilities of AI, particularly those based on machine learning, have not yet diffused widely. More importantly, like other general purpose technologies, their full effects won’t be realized until waves of complementary innovations are developed and implemented. The required adjustment costs, organizational changes, and new skills can be modeled as a kind of intangible capital. A portion of the value of this intangible capital is already reflected in the market value of firms. However, going forward, national statistics could fail to measure the full benefits of the new technologies and some may even have the wrong sign.

We thank Eliot Abrams, Ajay Agrawal, David Autor, Seth Benzell, Joshua Gans, Avi Goldfarb, Austan Goolsbee, Guillaume Saint-Jacques, Andrea Meyer, Manuel Tratjenberg, and numerous participants at the NBER Workshop on AI and Economics in September, 2017. In particular, Rebecca Henderson provided detailed and very helpful comments on an earlier draft and Larry Summers suggested the analogy to the J-Curve. Generous funding for this research was provided in part by the MIT Initiative on the Digital Economy. The views expressed herein are those of the authors and do not necessarily reflect the views of the National Bureau of Economic Research.
