TOKT1104 — Lý thuyết mô hình toán kinh tế 1
Course description
The mathematical modeling method (the model method) is widely used in economic research. Economic relationships are constantly changing, complex, and overlapping; the model method, using mathematical language, can describe these relationships in an accurate and vivid manner. Based on mathematical economic models, learners can build scenarios and analyze situations in consumption and production, and from there propose policies. In economics and business administration, learners use parameters estimated from empirical data to find numerical solutions to models (optimal, equilibrium) that support decision-making.
