Learning outcomes of the course unit

After taking this course students are able to:

1. Develop techniques for constructing (deterministic) economic models;

2. To be able to do quantitative economic analysis. At the end of the course, they are expected to develop a deterministic model with case studies of various economic and business phenomena. In addition, students are able to develop skills using quantitative models used to analyze economic problems and present them in wtitten and presentation forms.

Mode of delivery (face-to-face, distance learning)

- Face to face (offline) using LCD, White Board and or 

- Distance learning (online)

Course content

In general, this course discusses analytical on economics and mathematics. The topics discussed in this lecture are focused on the application of mathematics through economic models. In more detail, the scope of this course material is efficiency and productivity which consists of the concept of measuring efficiency and productivity, differences and similarities between measurement models and DEA. In addition, it also discussed optimization theory using the MCDM/Goal programming method and decision-making theory using the AHP (analytic hierarchy process) method. In the end, this economic model lecture closed with material based on the general equilibrium model, namely the IO (input-output) model, the SAM (Social accounting matrix) model, and the CGE (Computable general equilibrium) model.
