Этот курс – первый шаг к пониманию институтов и их роли в экономике и обществе, первый взгляд на богатую идеями и результатами область экономического анализа, которую мы называем институциональной экономикой. Мы покажем, что в мире, где осуществление трансакций связано с издержками, а люди склонны к оппортунизму, необходимо создавать правила и следить за соблюдением этих правил. Такие правила, дополненные механизмами принуждения к следованию правилам, мы и будем называть институтами. Основная задача курса состоит в том, чтобы показать, как институты работают в различных сферах, и что происходит, если институты являются слабыми или неэффективными. Мы поговорим об институте прав собственности и о контрактах, будем приводить исторические примеры и разбирать современные кейсы, покажем, что институты важны для процветания целых стран, но в то же время необходимы для осуществления даже самых простых трансакций между двумя их гражданами. И это всего лишь неполный перечень вопросов, на которые мы ответим в течение курса.

La Unión Europea (UE) representa una de las experiencias más avanzadas en materia de integración económica y unión política a escala global. Desde su surgimiento en los años 50 del siglo XX hasta la explosión de la actual pandemia provocada por el COVID-19, la UE no ha cesado de ampliar su radio de acción llegando a difuminar, en muchas áreas, la tradicional distinción entre asuntos internos y externos de los Estados nacionales.

Firm Level Economics: Consumer and Producer Behavior (Coursera) Coursera
University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign

Firm Level Economics: Consumer and Producer Behavior (Coursera)

All goods and services are subject to scarcity at some level. Scarcity means that society must develop some allocation mechanism – rules to determine who gets what. Over recorded history, these allocation rules were usually command based – the king or the emperor would decide. In contemporary times, most countries have turned to market based allocation systems. In markets, prices act as rationing devices, encouraging or discouraging production and encouraging or discouraging consumption in such a way as to find an equilibrium allocation of resources.

Economics and Policies of Climate Change (Coursera)

Being aware of the urgency and importance of climate change is not enough to tackle it effectively. To avoid the worst climate outcomes, decisive action has to be taken. But what realistic options do we have? Since our resources are limited, is it better to act now or wait until we have more advanced and less expensive technology? How big do our abatement efforts have to be? This MOOC will help you understand how economists try to answer these questions and find the optimal course of action. Most important, it will give you the conceptual tools to draw your own conclusions.

Firm Level Economics: Markets and Allocations (Coursera)

In this class, we will derive equilibrium outcomes across a variety of market structures. We will begin by understanding equilibrium under a market structure called Perfect Competition, a benchmark construction. Economists have tools to measure the efficiency of market outcomes. We next consider the polar extreme of a competitive market: a monopoly market. We will determine the monopoly equilibrium price and quantity and efficiency properties. Much economic activity takes place in markets with just a handful of very large producers.

Chinese Politics Part 1 - China and Political Science (Coursera)

This course offers a conceptual framework for understanding China that highlights the intersection of politics and economics. It shows that rather than develop into a full blown market economy, state and party officials at all levels of the political system maintain significant influence in economic development. Such a “political” economy has had both positive and negative outcomes, which we will assess in detail.

Microeconomics: When Markets Fail (Coursera)

Perfect markets achieve efficiency: maximizing total surplus generated. But real markets are imperfect. In this course we will explore a set of market imperfections to understand why they fail and to explore possible remedies including as antitrust policy, regulation, government intervention. Examples are taken from everyday life, from goods and services that we all purchase and use. We will apply the theory to current events and policy debates through weekly exercises. These will empower you to be an educated, critical thinker who can understand, analyze and evaluate market outcomes.
