Principles of Economics: Macroeconomics - The Big Picture at Coursera Course details
- Take a trip with me in this the third and final course of this Economics 100 Specialization which is a direct adaptation from one of my courses I teach at Rice University
- Specifically, in this course we're going to be focusing on Macroeconomics
- What is Macroeconomics you might be asking? Well, you've come to the right place! We're going to be going over 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
- Through this courses lectures, quizzes, discussions, and problem sets my hope is that you'll be able to digest economic news with a more discerning viewpoint, have a more informed view about the cost and benefits of economic policy
- Finally, my hope is that you've learned to look at the world around you through the eyes of an economist
