OVERVIEW綜述

 

這門課程一直是傳統(tǒng)猶他州州立大學(xué)經(jīng)濟系高級項目課程。本科的學(xué)生已經(jīng)采取的經(jīng)濟學(xué)原理課程的宏觀經(jīng)濟學(xué)，微觀經(jīng)濟學(xué)，管理經(jīng)濟學(xué)，macroecomics經(jīng)理課程。也有一些學(xué)生參加經(jīng)濟學(xué)5950中間的經(jīng)濟理論在宏觀經(jīng)濟學(xué)和微觀經(jīng)濟學(xué)，應(yīng)用計量經(jīng)濟學(xué)，數(shù)理經(jīng)濟學(xué)課程的課程，也許是產(chǎn)業(yè)經(jīng)濟學(xué)/博弈論課程，金融經(jīng)濟學(xué)課程，經(jīng)濟和歷史思維過程以及在金融，會計，商業(yè)和政治政策課程與其他課程。所以這個特定課程的目的是把這些概念的一些工作在一個項目中，學(xué)生完成課程的要求部分履行。

 

This course has been the traditional senior project course in the Department of Economics at Utah State University.  The undergraduate student has taken the economics principles courses in macroeconomics, microeconomics, the managerial economics and the macroecomics for managers courses.  Some students who enroll in Economics 5950 have also had the intermediate economic theory courses in macroeconomics and microeconomics, the applied econometrics course, the mathematical economics course, and perhaps the industrial economics/game theory course, the financial economics course, and the history of economic thought course along with other courses in finance, accounting, and business and political policy courses.  So this particular course is designed to put some of these concepts to work in a project that the student completes as partial fulfillment of the requirements for the course.

 

這個國際發(fā)售，本課程將繼續(xù)幫助學(xué)生開發(fā)一個項目，分析和結(jié)論和/或調(diào)查預(yù)測，該項目使隨附的傳統(tǒng)。然而，一些討論和一些要素：戰(zhàn)略，國際市場營銷，國際業(yè)務(wù)和金融結(jié)合的經(jīng)濟問題調(diào)查的整體運用經(jīng)濟學(xué)的發(fā)展將是一個課程的一部分。這種發(fā)展將在并行與學(xué)生發(fā)展的一個項目，隨著經(jīng)濟概念，并結(jié)合了這些元素，將它們應(yīng)用到業(yè)務(wù)，業(yè)務(wù)/政治或方法的問題和/或設(shè)置問題。For this international offering, this course will continue the tradition of helping the student to develop a project and accompanying analysis and conclusions and/or projections from the investigation that the project enables.  However, some discussion and development of overall use of economics in investigation of economic issues combined with some elements of strategy, international marketing, and international business and finance will be a part of the course.  This development will take place in parallel with the student development of a project that combines these elements along with economic concepts and applies them to a business, business/political, or methodological problems and/or set of issues.

 

THE PROJECT項目

 

學(xué)生，由教官的指導(dǎo)下，將調(diào)查一些業(yè)務(wù)，戰(zhàn)略，經(jīng)濟或方法的問題或問題。這項調(diào)查可能包括一個項目或任務(wù)需要完成一個特定的業(yè)務(wù)，行業(yè)或政府機構(gòu)所決定的。目前的問題是要識別和分析，然后和學(xué)生一起帶來了經(jīng)濟，商業(yè)，以及與商業(yè)和工業(yè)問題的方法和政策導(dǎo)向的課程理念發(fā)展項目。該項目有可能發(fā)展為企業(yè)或政府機構(gòu)的策略。它可以沿著國際營銷，定價問題，出口/進(jìn)口問題，政府與企業(yè)互動和調(diào)控的思路發(fā)展，或者它可能是嚴(yán)格意義上的方法論的運動，如統(tǒng)計/計量/業(yè)務(wù)研究開發(fā)或工具是非常有用的的分析。The student, with guidance by the instructors, will investigate some business, strategy, economic or methodological issue or problem.  This investigation may include a project or assignment that is needed to be completed as dictated by a particular business, industry, or government agency.  This current problem is to be identified and analyzed,  and the student then brings together economic, business, methodological and policy oriented course concepts along with business and industry issues to develop the project.  The project may develop a strategy for a business or government agency.  It may be developed along the ideas of international marketing, pricing issues, export/import issues, government-business interaction and regulation, or it may be strictly a methodological exercise such as a statistical/econometric/operations research  development or tool that is useful in analysis.#p#分頁標(biāo)題#e#

 

Identification of the Problem:  確認(rèn)題目

 

The student, along with advice from the instructors, will choose a problem to work on.  The student then makes a presentation of the proposed analysis of the problem and a projection of what is to be developed for the analysis, data collection, if available, and required approach to the analysis to develop some conclusions.

 學(xué)生單獨從教授那獲得建議去選擇一個題目去寫。學(xué)生寫一個計劃分析對這個題目和規(guī)劃如何完整的分析這個題目，收集數(shù)據(jù)，如果可能在寫出你是用什么分析方法去得到你的結(jié)論。

Presentation of a Proposal Brief:簡要陳述的建議

 

The student, with the help of instructor and facilitator will prepare and present a brief of the project.  The brief will include: a) the identification of the problem or issue;  b) what is to be done to solve or to apply some information to the particular problem; c)  the data, if any data is to be collected and used; d)  the projected methodology of analysis, and some projection of who will benefit by development of the project and the underlying reasons for such benefit.

學(xué)生在教授和幫助者的幫助下去準(zhǔn)備和介紹這個計劃。這個摘要包括1，確定問題。2,怎樣解決或應(yīng)用一些資料去詳細(xì)說明問題。3，資料，收集資料和運用。4，預(yù)測分析方法，以及預(yù)測什么將有利于這個項目和什么是這個項目的根本發(fā)展原因。

The brief can be put into written and oral delivery order containing the above areas of coverage in an outline form as follows:  a) The problem statement – what is the problem or issue that is involved; b) Some existing literature on the problem and the approach to analyze the problem; c) some projection on the results of the development of the project and the benefits of the project analysis.

該摘要可以寫（就是讓按著以下要求寫）                                                             如下：1，問題陳述---所涉及的問題。2，一些文獻(xiàn)資料關(guān)于這個問題和如何運用它們來分析這個問題的。3，一些推測對這個計劃會有怎樣的結(jié)果和對分析這個項目有何益處。

Final Presentation of the Project and Results:最后陳述和項目結(jié)果

　　

A presentation of the analysis and results of the investigation of the problem or issue will be given toward the end of the course   --- This presentation will include the problem statement, the associated literature and literature review, the model, if any that is used, the analysis and discussion/projection of the results and outcome from the analysis.  Some of this presentation, depending on the nature of the project, can be in electronic or summary form such as with the use of Excel worksheets, powerpoint presentation, other analysis software results.#p#分頁標(biāo)題#e#

作者的分析和對問題或事件的調(diào)查結(jié)果將使問題結(jié)束---本報告將包括問題的陳述，相關(guān)的文學(xué)和文獻(xiàn)，模型，如果有的話都是被文章所用過的，分析和討論/推測結(jié)果和分析得出結(jié)果。一些報告中，根據(jù)項目的性質(zhì)，可用電子或摘要形式來表述，例如用Excel工作表，PowerPoint簡報，其他分析軟件的效果。

Form of Presentation:表達(dá)形式

 

The instructors will decide, depending on size of class and classroom facilities, whether students can make there presentations in class (the desired format), or whether we just have to have the student make a written or software presentation of both the proposal statement and the final presentation.  In any case, however, the student will be informed of the format of presentation that can be carried out.

教授根據(jù)班級的大小和教室條件來決定學(xué)生是否做展示在班里（希望是這種形式），我們是否必須讓學(xué)生寫一個報告或用軟件或兩者都用去展示和最后的展示。無論在任何情況下，學(xué)生都被建議用這種形式去展示。

 

------ Some project topics will be offered by the instructors early on in the course.  The student does not have to use one of these topics unless one is of interest to the student and it is feasible to develop the topic further.  The student is encouraged to discuss the project with the instructors so that an early start on the work can be initiated.  Web sites and other material will be investigated and communicated between the instructor and the student.

 

 

ONGOING TOPICS OF DISCUSSION IN THE COURSE

 

Some ongoing topics of economics/methodological/strategy will be discussed and presented in the course by the instructors.  These include the following topic areas.

一些發(fā)展題目關(guān)于經(jīng)濟、方法論，戰(zhàn)略將被討論和教授提出的問題。這些題目議論范圍是：

Brief recall and development of some modeling/methodological tools of analysis . . . .  statistics, some econometrics, mathematical programming, strategy/game theoretic tools and concepts.

摘要回憶和一些發(fā)展模型、方法作為分析工具。。。。統(tǒng)計信息，一些計量經(jīng)濟學(xué)，數(shù)學(xué)規(guī)劃法（跟數(shù)學(xué)有關(guān)的），戰(zhàn)略理論工具和基本概念。

The topics above in category A - provide an overview of the application of quantitative economic tools in understanding and performing economic and business analysis.   The remaining topics, B – D, provide a perspective on mainly international business.  

 

---- Some students may be interested in development/growth issues that may be macroeconomic in nature, or be interested in international development policy issues.  There are many interesting project topics in these areas in which the student may be interested.  We do not have time set up this topic as a main discussion for the course, but if a student is interested in this area we can communicate some ideas and/or point the student in this direction for development of a project for the course.

 

--- The development and discussion of these topics will all be via online presentation or with the use of certain software and will be initiated by the instructor and facilitator.  We will refer to certain literature and other media that the student can investigate, but the student is not required to purchase several textbooks to work through these topic areas.

 

The check-up on learning will be done through brief worksheets to be completed by the student with the help of the instructor and the facilitator  --- we will also help the student in the development of the project through these exercises as well.

 

GRADING

 

Grades for the course will be based on the project proposal, the final project presentation, and work that is done to complete the topics A – D above such as possible worksheets that will check-up on the learning process that is occurring as we work through the topics outlined above.

 

Project Proposal - 20 % of grade

Final Project Development & Presentation – 60 % of grade

Worksheet completion – 20 % of grade

 

If the schedule does not call for completion of worksheets and only work on the proposal and discussion of above issues is completed in the course, then the grading is 30% for project proposal, and 70% for final project development and presentation (either orally or by other presentation form).

 

      Grades

90 % - 100% A

88 % - 89 % A-#p#分頁標(biāo)題#e#
