授業の目的 【英語】
Goals of the Course | | This course aims that students will deepen their understanding of familiar terms such as GDP, CPI or interest rate and their interrelations in order to grasp the rationale behind widely-used fiscal and monetary policies.
At the end of the course, students will be able to measure a nation’s living standards, to understand how these living standards depend on the interrelation of macroeconomic variables like production, investment and unemployment, and to use basic monetary and fiscal policy tools to help alleviate the random shocks affecting an economy. |
