【Course Objectives】

The goal of this course is to understand the mechanisms by which macroeconomic variables such as GDP, inflation, and unemployment rates fluctuate, and the effects of economic policies aimed at controlling these variables. The course aims to provide students with the knowledge necessary to understand economic phenomena from both a factual (economic indicators and economic news) and logical (macroeconomics) perspective, and to grasp what is happening in front of their eyes. Then, be able to talk about and discuss the current situation and outlook on your own.

【Course Contents】

Participants will obtain and process data and materials posted on the websites of government agencies such as the Cabinet Office, Ministry of Finance, Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, and Bank of Japan, and summarize their own interpretations and arguments regarding economic trends. Then, discuss the pros and cons of each viewpoint with other participants.
In order to avoid self-serving interpretations and arguments, you will also learn the basic concepts of macroeconomics through the textbook. You will learn that there are various ways of thinking about macroeconomics and that there are multiple ways of looking at the same data. When an argument differs from one's own viewpoint, students will be able to understand the logic behind that viewpoint and why there is a difference in viewpoints. We will also consider how one opinion is chosen and policy decisions are made when multiple ideas coexist.
