Outline (in English)

This class is designed for the students who firstly learn the basics of macroeconomics. You will learn what firms and households do in the economy from a macroeconomic perspective. You will learn the basic tools of macroeconomics to understand what is going on in the Japanese and the world economy.

When we read interviews conducted with top executives of major companies, we can see that they are extremely knowledgeable about the current macroeconomic situation in Japan and the world. This is because the state of the Japanese and global economies greatly affects the management of their companies. In this course, we introduce the basic methodology for understanding the macroeconomics of Japan and developed (and developing) countries around the world.

In the spring semester (Macroeconomics I), we will go over GDP and other major macroeconomic indicators, touch on the fundamentals of the economic policy such as money policy and fiscal policy, and then touch on models to analyze them in a comprehensive manner. This will allow students to learn the basic style of bird's eye view of the macroeconomy.

In the fall semester (Macroeconomics II), students will develop various types of models. They will learn how prices and GDP are determined. Students will then study topics such as inflation and deflation, exchange rates, economic growth, and business cycles. This will allow students to learn the basics of the methodology for analyzing the macroeconomy.

The standard preparation and review time for this class is 2 hours each.

Regarding grading, students will be evaluated by a final open-book style exam. In some cases, extra points will be given for additional comments made in class. In principle, the grade is determined by the final exam.

Students can choose either (a) or (b) at the time of the final exam.
 (a) Evaluation based on the grading criteria of S to D (students answer all questions).
 (b) Seek a grade on a scale of C to D (students answer a limited number of questions).

The credit acquisition rate is usually around 95%, and the majority of students who fail the course (D) are those who hardly attend any classes.
