Hi,
I do not fully understand the prompt.
What is the definition of "economic benefits"?
One of the reasons for my belief is that without other subjects studying such as health, environmental pollution,and energy crisis laying the groundwork for sustainable development, no economic model can be built.
Your examples (health, environmental pollution and energy crisis) are all of great interest because they may lead to economic growth.
New drugs, new environmental techniques and new energy sources all might make a good profit in the future.
So I think these examples contradicted to your stand.
In addition, why do you mention economic model?
This essay is about scientific research, not economic research, right?
If I misunderstood anything, please tell me, thank you.
Good luck
