Simulation of the National Economy for Macroeconomics Classes

该项目为学生提供了一个计算机实验室，使他们能够体验到国家政策的各种变化对国家经济的影响。威斯康星大学奥什科什大学经济系正在将其在核心课程中提供经济学计算机模拟的策略扩展到宏观原理和中级宏观理论部分。使用高质量的电子表格和Apple Macintosh电脑的高分辨率，学生们计算出变化对模拟经济的影响。这些软件和部门开发的模板为学生提供了一种简单的方式来记录他们政策变化的数字影响和图形说明。

This project provides a computer lab for students which will enable them to experience the impact on the national economy of various changes in national policy. The Department of Economics at the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh is extending its strategy of providing computer simulations of economics in its core courses to its macro principles and intermediate macro theory sections. Using a high quality spreadsheet and the fine resolution of the Apple Macintosh computer, student imputed changes impact the simulated economy. The software and department-developed templates provide an easy way for students to record both the numerical impact and graphic illustration of their policy changes.
