Simulation of the National Economy for Macroeconomics Classes

这个项目为学生提供了一个计算机实验室，让他们体验国家政策的各种变化对国民经济的影响。威斯康星大学奥什科什分校（University of Wisconsin Oshkosh）经济系正在将其在核心课程中提供计算机模拟经济学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苹果麦金塔电脑的精细分辨率，学生推算的变化影响模拟经济。软件和部门开发的模板为学生提供了一种简单的方法来记录他们的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.
