Thanks professor, thanks MIT for this wonderful series of lectures.❤
Thank you Thank you Thank you MIT!!!
We are grateful to MIT board & USA🙏🙏
Thanks MIT the professor was very clear!
What I’d love to know is what tools are available for an economy to fight against deflation? That seems a very hard position to be in
19:32 Nominal vsReal GDP
Professor, I'm curious about your choice to give definitions for the whole course in a single lexture. I wonder if the definitions were given in context of the concept being learned would help students retain the information better.
The reason of the unemployment rate still high is people who do E commerce Since COVID is still growing
how are you determining final goods, how do you know someone won't take that good and use it .
that’s part of advanced theory, introductory economics really gives you the set of tools for you to apply them in an overly simplistic model, so it is easy to determine on this model but it has really advanced mechanisms and interactions for you to determine what really is a final good and what isnt
As professor walk a lot while delivering the lecture it would be great if we can have a far view angle of the video so our eye ball movement is not much while watching, higher the eye ball movement increases pain. writing my experience here. Loving the content and greateful to MIT.
The amount of pain is immense; the suffering is ineffable.
@@marcwhite6267😂😂😂👍👍👍
Oh you’re the dude who said in another comment here that you doounderstand why young people are not interested in learning. Gosh, you’re really a boomer by all definitions. 😂
I am curious about the reference book used for this course, I am unable to get any information on the website.

What stops someone from entering all these lessons into a AI model and creating a trading bot?
Any country can do this. Any country could create wealth by doing it.
Lmao, you really think this helps anyhow with trading? My dawg, financial markets are WAY more complicated, and I am telling you that very few people know how a market will evolve. For something like 99.9% of the investors, it's pure sorcery. In the short terms markets move with no logic, when no important events happen. Trading bots have no use.
developing a trade bot would require developing like 30 more factors for an AI to deal with, which today these AI’s can at least deal with 5 to 6 factors if that’s what I remember, and considering that took decades to develop, it is impossible today. financial markets are crazy complicated
Whoever filmed this class never took an online course, right? stop this camera 😂😂
La economía son un montón de viejos mañosos.
