Description

Focusing mainly on microeconomics, macroeconomics, econometrics, and applied economics, this article explains the implementation of the specialized education of economics at the School of Economics, Nagoya University, and examines its significance. The school has educational goals of enhancing basic analytical ability and voluntary exploration ability. To achieve these goals, the school has formulated a curriculum in which students first learn introductory mathematics and statistics, before taking basic specialized courses and then specialized courses (including lectures and seminars). The significance of economics as specialized courses may differ depending on the levels of knowledge and understanding of economics needed by students. Knowledge and understanding of economics help students who need economics as a common sense of being members of society enjoy consumption activities in daily and social life. Such knowledge and understanding enhance the ability of students who need economics as non-academic professionals to make accurate judgments in business activities as well as help students who need economics as academic professionals prepare for learning theoretical and empirical analyses at graduate schools. Given the significance of economics, students who wish to learn economics as a part of their specialized courses might suffer serious consequences without the availability of these courses at the undergraduate level.
