课程名称：地球经济学 课程概述：完成此课程后，您将成为一名地球经济学家，能够提供基于证据的全球政策建议。作为地球经济学家，您将更好地理解经济学家的行为和建议，提升自己的经济学水平，并掌握获取和分析地球数据的方法。本课程强调地球的重要性，鼓励您参与其中！ 地球经济学为政策分析提供了全新的视角，聚焦于全球层面，并以最新数据为基础。可持续性（包括环境及联合国可持续发展目标相关）和平等以及非主流的经济观点对地球经济学家来说至关重要。课程内容涵盖了对新兴地球数据的概述及在全球危机期间和之后的政策分析，同时介绍了基本经济工具和概念，并深入探讨现实问题和近期在地球生产、增长和治理方面的发展。全球公共产品的提供是一个重要议题，地球经济学强调联合国、国际货币基金组织、世界卫生组织和世界贸易组织的重要性。 课程大纲： 1. **地球经济学：一种新的必要方法** 探讨地球经济学的全球视角及其实证取向，分析COVID-19疫情的经济影响，并超越疫情的局限，关注可持续性和平等。 2. **地球经济波动的核算** 介绍地球经济最常用的数据来源及其优缺点，探讨增加值生成活动，并分析全球经济状况的变化。 3. **投资与储蓄** 讨论均衡概念及其与人口、全球变暖和恶性通货膨胀等政策相关问题的关系，学习建立地球经济模型并分析2008年大衰退。 4. **政府与地球经济** 重点关注政府支出和税收的关系，探讨全球公共债务的增长及货币在地球经济中的功能。 5. **货币与地球经济均衡** 研究货币市场及货币政策的影响，分析低利率环境下的流动性陷阱，以及IS-LM模型在经济辩论中的应用。 6. **长期挑战** 分析经济过程的可持续性及生产力在经济发展中的关键作用，理解地球经济学在监测和理解可持续发展目标方面的意义。 本课程期待您积极参与和贡献，为全球经济的可持续发展提供新的见解和建议。
Name:Earth economics: a new and necessary approach
Description:Earth Economics offers a completely new angle to policy analyses by its focus on the truly global level and its empirical orientation on very recent data. Each week offers "Reflections on the economic impact of the Corona virus" (COVID-19) allowing you to apply what you have learned. But we have to look beyond the pandamic. Sustainability (environmental and related to the UN's SDGs), equality and hetrodox (non mainstream) views on the economy are important for an Earth Economist. Taking stock of emerging planet data and analyzing policies during and following the Global Crisis, Earth economics provides both a topical introduction into basic macroeconomic tools and concepts and insights in highly relevant problems and recent developments in planet production, growth and governance. You will also better understand the behavior and advice of economists, become a better economist and know where to find Earth's data and how to analyse these world observations. Our planet is too important: we need you to get engaged!
Name:Accounting for fluctuations in the Earth economy
Description:This set of three lectures provides you with a good introduction to the most often used data sources for the Earth Economy and their strengths and weaknesses. We study which activities generate value added and discuss both the merits and the drawbacks of the concept of Gross Planet Product (GPP). We will get a good idea about changes in the economic condition of our planet, both from business cycles and from changes in the world's unemployment rate. You will discover that economists are too optimistic about the reliability of their data but also that economist in the past have been too pessimistic about the development of the world economy.
Name:Investment and Saving
Description:We start with a discussion of the equilibrium concept and relate (in)stability to policy relevant questions such as (over)population, global warming and hyperinflation. We encounter comparative statics and scenario analysis. We discuss investment, saving and consumption and relate these concepts to the development of the Earth economy. At the end of these three lectures you will be able to build a model of the Earth economy and use that model to analyze the Great Recession of 2008/0. That is pretty cool.
Name:Government and the Earth Economy
Description:In this Module we take a closer look at government. We study government spending and taxation and will discover any instances where government expenditures and receipts move in the same direction. An important issue is the development of public debt that has reached unprecedented levels for our planet. Finally we study money and its functions in the Earth Economy.
Name:Money and Earth Economic Equilibrium
Description:In this module we look at the money market and the role and impact of monetary policy. We start with the liquidity trap where interest rates are so low that monetary policy becomes impotent. Next we relate the money market and the product market in the so-called ISLM model. We use this model to shed light on economic debates about the role of government.
Name:Long Run Challenges
Description:Earth Economics is especially relevant when we take a look at the long run because it enables us to analyse sustainability of economic processes and to understand how productivity is key for economic development. We will discover why Earth Economics is important for monitoring and understanding Sustainable Development Goals from a truly global perspective
After this course you will be an Earth Economist that can provide evidence-based advise on the best global policy. As an Earth Economist you will better understand the behavior and advice of economists, have become a better economist yourself and know where to find Earth's data and how to analyze these world observations. Our planet is too important: we need you to get engaged! Earth Economics offers a completely new angle to policy analysis by its focus on the truly global level and its empirical orientation on very recent data. Sustainability (environmental and related to the UN's SDGs), equality and heterodox (that is: non mainstream) views on the economy are important for an Earth Economist. Taking stock of emerging planet data and analyzing policies during and following the Global Crisis, Earth Economics provides both a topical introduction into basic economic tools and concepts as well as insights in highly relevant problems and recent developments in planet production, growth and governance. An important issue is the provision of global public goods. Earth Economics highlights the importance of the United Nations, International Monetary Fund, the World Health Organization and the World Trade Organization.
