I'm a Mechanical Engineer and a Maths Teacher and I've recently developed interest in economics and businesses. This lecture was a great opportunity to learn for me from Esher Duflow and Abhijit Banerjee are Nobel Prize 🏆 winner couple in Economics. She is working leading a team which includes Raghuram Rajan of economist to implement the bottom up economic model with Tamil Nadu government. Trickle Down economics is a scam to keep rich richer and poor poorer. This women with her husband has turned out this scam upside down. Hats off to her.
Tamil Nadu government is DMK fraud government.. they will make schemes of corruption.. hide 30,000 crores in offshore accounts in the name of Sabareesan and PTR.. How to steal from tamil nadu people.. DMK knows that very well

I want to say something about 1.09. The ability of 5th Standard students to study 2nd standard text depends on many things. It may vary from State to State. There are more than 25 states in India. Even within states, it may vary from town to town. Private schools are situated in urban areas. Government schools are situated in rural areas. The lifestyle of the students living in urban areas and those living in rural areas is entirely different. For example, a town child may spend extra hours studying whereas a poor rural child, especially a girl child, has to take care of many other things. So this difference. There is one paradox. In Tamilnadu, ( a state in India)the government spends more on health, education, and library. However, people will prefer private schools, private hospitals, and even private libraries. This is not related to quality. Government hospitals can perform heart surgeries at the cost of free. A student need not spend a single penny on government school. Still, people prefer private.

Thanks for this interesting course offered by MIT as a public goods or services. I haven't followed the whole presentation. Really I would like to find out, how to finance development in DCs. The existing theory proposes by saving, or if not, to borrow from foreign countries or from international institution. How is about using the so called "forced saving"? In 2008, Bernanke at that time complained the "abundant of saving" in China, leading to global very low interest rates. In fact, what was done in China was the "forced savings", not real savings out of the country's real income.
Inspite of the ardent try of the academic arena it is found that every place in India is getting doomed,its been observed since the posterior end of Covid so vehemently.Hence,it is really of obviousity something really wrong or irrational system works under this macroeconomically which is the factorization of causes of the expectation function of the economy in probabilistic sense.A great thwarting agenda of deprivation lacking proper monitoring is also macrogenic. We should be more profound to grapple all the factors to develop ourselves to be the utmost,as micro economy is concerned it is substantially governmental arena to substantiation.
I have seen this powerpoint format in other presentations and I am just wondering, can't there be a variation in this? Everyone's using the same format...this is not to badmouth the presentation itself, just a simple comment
Concerned about using covid vaccine coverage as a poverty measure unless the numbers have been adjusted for the severity of the pandemic. The pandemic was mild in Africa, which affected the perceived need for the vaccine at individual and policy level.

Ester is a renowned researcher in development economic. But i would like to say, with my utmost respect toward her, her lecture is too much obscure - accent is not clear, and she switches to another sentence promptly without finishing the full sentence.
My jaw dropped, I thought MIT would have professors with at least intermediate English pronunciation. I cannot understand her speech at all. I am not disappointed with her knowledge, although the barrier to communicating it. 😮
People in Burandi own their own homes, and land, without bank loans... so Wealth PPP adjusted makes more sense... and the West will drop down the ranks.
Pandemic teaching guidelines under effect. The instructors are allowed to remove their mask for teaching the class as long as they are at least 6 feet from other people (who are masked). If there were multiple instructors, only the one speaking was allowed to have the mask off.
So funny, she excludes "petro states" from the PPP list and then names Norway at the top of the list. So amazing how naive Europeans can be, she just can't imagine that Norway is a "petro state". The income and wealth of Norway is basically entirely built on oil and gas, kinda like Saudi. She also first explains how PPP is in practice literally a completely impossible factor to measure, which is correct, and then she decides to use it anyway. I agree that the PPP measure in theory makes 100% sense, but in practice it is a complete mess with massive political pressures involved and just really hard to measure. When I go to a poor country and eat a shitty steak at 30% of the price of an excellent steak in a developed country, then the PPP measure for this is 70% cheaper than the steak in the developed world? lmao.
The part of PIB related to petrol in Norway is not even close to the numbers for Saudi Arabia. Even today, when Saudi Arabia has developped other sources of income, it is at least four times as much.
@@freyc1 Ok, lets remove all the income from exporting oil and gas from Norways books and society ... If not a big deal, let them just stop the export of oil and nat gas ... FYI … both Saudi and Norway have oil and nat gas exports of between 70% and 80% to total exports … and also norways oil and nat gas industry was about 20 percent of its 2021 gdp … and for Saudi it was 23.7 percent of its 2021 gdp … I completely agree … Norway doesn’t even come remotely close to Saudi … lmao …
Again, a fallacy. The Rich countries 'spending' on CoViD includes the billions of dollars of donations for the "Poor" countries... so the poor countries need spend less since 'free free free'... and the rich countries paying more, since paying for the poor countries.
They didn't hire her from France, you ignorant douchebag. She is a 2019 Nobel Laureate in Economics who completed her Ph.D from MIT in 1999 & has been associated as a Professor with them ever since. She's working there because she is absolutely brilliant & the best at what she does.
Thanks for the lecture, it was so educative and it will help some of us from developing countries to re-shape our mind set and also help those who are finding economics as a subject difficult.
