Core Knowledge Learning Guide for Macroeconomic Policy Empirical Research
This guide systematically outlines the core framework of empirical research on macroeconomic policy, starting from the foundations of econometric methodology and causal inference methods, and delves into the logical construction of policy econometric models, empirical evaluation tools, and extends to multi-dimensional analysis of policy effects and international experience references, helping learners grasp the core methods and practical logic of macroeconomic policy empirical research.
