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.

This sequence of four courses will propose a multi-disciplinary approach to the study of Chinese cultural history conceived of as a succession of modes of rationality (philosophical, bureaucratic, and economic). The focus will be on the moments of paradigm shift from one mode of rationality to another. For each of these moments, cultural facts and artifacts—thought, literature, ritual—will be examined in relationship to changing social, political, and economic systems.

Introduction to Economic Theories (Coursera)

Wondering why economists have not predicted serious financial crises? Shocked by economic assumptions of human behavior as self-centered and focusing only on what can be measured? Asking yourself if there are no sensible economic alternatives to free markets? Then you are at the right place to learn economics! This is the first online course that teaches economics from a pluralist perspective. Economic pluralism means that a plurality of theoretical and methodological viewpoints is regarded as valuable in itself and is simply the best way in which economics can make progress in understanding the world.

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.

In this second portion of the three-course specialization covering economics, we're going to be focusing on Microeconomics or the business side of things. This course is also based heavily on my ECON 100 course that I teach here at Rice University. Through lectures, short quizzes, problem sets, and discussions we're going to take a look at subjects such as, costs of production, perfect competition, monopolies, monopolistic competition, oligopolies, and household choices. And you'll still get all the unsolicited food and cooking advice sprinkled in there too :)

Welcome to Game Theory (Coursera)

This course provides a brief introduction to game theory. Our main goal is to understand the basic ideas behind the key concepts in game theory, such as equilibrium, rationality, and cooperation. The course uses very little mathematics, and it is ideal for those who are looking for a conceptual introduction to game theory. Business competition, political campaigns, the struggle for existence by animals and plants, and so on, can all be regarded as a kind of “game,” in which individuals try to do their best against others.

The last three or four decades have seen a remarkable evolution in the institutions that comprise the modern monetary system.

Produced and sponsored by the Institute for New Economic Thinking, this course is an attempt to begin the process of new economic thinking by reviving and updating some forgotten traditions in monetary thought that have become newly relevant.
