The purpose of this course is to help students master a quantitative analytical method and analyze the economic phenomenon
that students feel involved in. The course also introduces the input-output analysis and the macroeconometric model analysis
to estimate a positive economic effect stemming from economic policies such as fiscal policy. At the end of the course, students
will hand in the final paper.
Students are expected to acquire statistical and econometric methods, and analyze various kinds of economic phenomena.
