Features: This series of books fully develops a practical and active learning approach. Active learning is a recognized effective learning method that not only enhances students' learning abilities but also improves their satisfaction with courses and instructors. When students build various models themselves, they truly "master it." As teachers have said to students, "While you build models yourself, you learn it." The purpose of this book is to introduce some basic practical tools and application techniques of Microsoft Excel, developed by the American software company Microsoft, with a focus on the application of Excel in specific macroeconomic problems. Once readers master Excel's chart processing functions, they can significantly improve their skills in handling related issues during macroeconomic analysis. Each chapter of this book provides examples of using Excel for data analysis and processing for reference. Readers can gradually create worksheets based on the examples provided and learn to apply Excel software through the experience of simulating examples. The book also includes various applications of Excel for analyzing different macroeconomic problems, covering topics such as national income, aggregate demand, aggregate supply, fiscal and monetary policy, the Federal Reserve System, inflation, classical economics, Keynesian economics, and international trade. The book provides detailed guidance on using Microsoft Excel software. These contents are designed for the current popular version of Excel software, but the guidance is also suitable for users of other versions of Excel.
