Seminar for Economics Studies
This class is a seminar class for international students (Graduate and Undergraduate) to study basic economics by learning economic data. The aim of this seminar is to make students understand not only the Japanese economy but also the relationship between Japan and students’ home countries. Developing students’ skills in giving a presentation is another objective of this class.
