国際日本研究特論IV
Microeconomic Analysis
In this course, the student will learn intermediate-level Microeconomics with emphasis on public policy. Economics is an academic discipline that analyzes economic activities among the society and their implications to social welfare. Microeconomics deals with decision-making of individual economic agents and the consequences called equilibrium, constructing a framework and tools for the analysis. Economic policy/strategy decisions in the real world are often made on the basis of these framework and tools. Thus, the knowledge of this discipline is the most important background for policy analysts.
This course emphasizes not only the theory of microeconomics but also its applications to public policies, typical examples of which include environmental, energy, science & technology policies, etc. This course also places emphasis on mathematical treatment of economic models, which is essential to the professional use of economic conceptions. As an advanced topic, Computable General Equilibrium (CGE) models are discussed.
