【Course Objectives】

In this course, students will learn the basics of economic thinking with a focus on the fundamental theories of microeconomics and macroeconomics. The objective is to be able to understand the logic of Economics while using mathematics as little as possible.

【Course Contents】

During the spring semester, the course will first survey the origins of Economics before primarily explaining the fundamentals of microeconomics. In addition to traditional topics such as consumer behavior and corporate cost analysis, we will also cover information economics such as adverse selection and moral hazards which have been increasing in importance in recent years. Next, we will think about the strengths and weaknesses of the market economy.
During the fall semester, students will primarily learn the fundamentals of macroeconomics. After explaining the basic concept behind the System of National Accounts, we will introduce the basic models of national income decision theory. We will think about problems such as why unemployment and business fluctuations occur by focusing the spotlight on short-term national income decision problems. Finally, we will survey Japanese and global economic trends from the 1980s up to the present.

Because this is a course for the College of Law and Politics, no background knowledge of Economics is required. Moreover, because the theory explanations will focus on an intuitive understanding of the way of thinking, students do not need to be particularly good at math.
