Coursera Specialization - Based on my Econ 100 course at Rice University, these 3 courses will cover the basics of economics, microeconomics, and macroeconomics and hopefully prepare you to analyze business decisions, various economic policies, and the benefits of global trade.
Getting to Know You, Economics - We cover the introduction to the basic concepts of microeconomics and macroeconomics. Microeconomics component includes analysis of supply and demand, consumer and producer behavior, and competitive and noncompetitive market equilibria, with applications to current policy issues. Macroeconomics component provides an overview of national output, employment, interest rates, and inflation, and analyzes monetary fiscal policies and international trade.
Getting Down to Business - We focus on the Microeconomics, business side of things. Through lectures, short quizzes, problem sets, and discussions we're going to look at subjects such as, costs of production, perfect competition, monopolies, monopolistic competition, oligopolies, and household choices.
The Big Picture - We look at the big picture of economics- which is examining the measures we use to gauge the health of national economies and study the theories and policies aimed at improving economic health. In a nutshell, how can we use economics to make the world a better place?
