浅议把数学工具引入本科宏观经济学教育的重要性

The Importance of Introducing Mathematical Tools into Undergraduate Macroeconomics Education

文章从本科宏观经济学教育中数学工具的重要性入手,以教材中LM曲线与货币政策的有效性为例,探讨了研究经济问题时单纯使用图像分析的局限性,然后剖析了货币政策乘数相对于图像分析的优势,提出了借助数学工具分析经济问题的必要性。由此提出的建议可以为未来本科宏观经济学课程体系设置提供参考。

Starting with the importance of mathematical tools in undergraduate macroeconomics education,this paper takes the effectiveness of LM curve and monetary policy in the textbook as an example,discusses the limitations of using image analysis simply in the study of economic problems,and then analyzes the advantages of monetary policy multiplier relative to image analysis,finally puts forward the necessity of using mathematical tools to analyze economic problems.It is hoped that the suggestions of this paper can provide reference for the setting of the curriculum system of undergraduate macroeconomics in the future.
