總體經濟學研究的範疇通常是以一個國家為主體,探討其總產出或所得之短期變化(即景氣循環)及長期趨勢(即經濟成長)。經濟學者主要透過種種經濟指標,如:國內生產毛額、貨幣供給、物價指數、以及所得分配等,來呈現一國的經濟活動。經由這些指標,我們就可以瞭解一個國家總體經濟活動的特徵。古典模型與凱因斯模型則是兩大理論,用來解釋重要的總體經濟現象。 |

The topices are emphasized on several issues, such as: beginning with market clearing models makes clearer the link between macroeconomics and microeconomics;the classcial dichotomy permitting the separation of real and monetary issues, etc. |
