Abstract

The increasing demand for computational skills in economics necessitates the integration of programming into undergraduate economics curricula in the UK. This paper argues for a systematic incorporation of programming courses tailored to economics students, addressing the limitations of current approaches and highlighting the benefits of such integration. We propose a sequence of introductory and intermediate-level integrated courses, and argue that this curriculum change will enhance students’ understanding of economic concepts, improve their employment prospects, and better prepare them for postgraduate studies. This paper aims to initiate a discussion and exchange of ideas and experiences on this subject at the national level.
将程序设计融入现代经济学本科课程
经济学对计算技能日益增长的需求要求将编程整合到英国的本科经济学课程中。本文主张系统地整合为经济学学生量身定制的编程课程,解决当前方法的局限性,并强调这种整合的好处。我们提出了一系列入门和中级综合课程,并认为这一课程改革将增强学生对经济概念的理解,改善他们的就业前景,并为他们的研究生学习做好更好的准备。本文旨在就这一问题在国家层面展开讨论和交流思想和经验。
