Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to measure the effect of second-year undergraduate microeconomics and macroeconomics exercise courses. Most economists agree that substantial mathematical ability is essential in studying economics. However, gaps among undergraduate students with various mathematical abilities have expanded as a result of increasing access to higher education and the diversity of university entrance exams in Japan. Consequently, most undergraduate students need higher levels of support and training. Through a combination of lectures and exercise courses, this article shows how we plan to increase the understanding of second-year undergraduate microeconomics and macroeconomics among students with various mathematical abilities. A multiple regression analysis for the students taking exercise courses indicates that past academic results of compulsory economics courses and attendance numbers and submission of assignments at exercise courses for microeconomics and macroeconomics are positively related to microeconomics and macroeconomics scores. The standardized regression coefficients of attendance numbers and submission of assignments at exercise courses for microeconomics are 0.340–0.363 and those of macroeconomics are 0.314–0.326. Thus, our exercise courses are evaluated as successful in increasing the understanding of microeconomics and macroeconomics.
