Classes and Seminars
My seminar
・In macroeconomics, we systematically learn how macro variables (GDP, unemployment, inflation, balance of payments, etc.) that aggregate the economic activities of individual consumers and companies on a single-country basis are determined and changed.
・In the theory of Japanese economy, we aim to acquire the ability to understand various problems facing the Japanese economy from the perspective of macro (university as a whole), meso (industry), and micro (company) perspectives. At the same time, we will also learn about the dynamics of Japan's economy, as to what point in the post-war period of Japan's economy.
