Свои повседневные экономические решения – что купить, куда пойти работать, как сберечь накопленный доход – человек обычно принимает без сложных расчетов, руководствуясь здравым смыслом. Не всегда, к сожалению, здравый смысл оказывается достаточно просвещенным и тренированным.
Экономические понятия, которыми мы мыслим, складывались в разные эпохи и несут, порой, совсем не тот смысл, который мы по инерции в них вкладываем. Мы копим деньги, порой, так, как это делали наши предки столетия тому назад, хотя деньги тогда были из драгоценных металлов, а ныне они бумажные. Мы легко ссылаемся на рост ВВП, плохо осознавая, что за этим стоит. Мы верим обещаниям политиков сделать нашу жизнь богатой и счастливой, не различая, каким обещаниям можно верить, а какими нас откровенно обманывают.
История экономической мысли – это квинтэссенция опыта решения сложных проблем хозяйственной жизни; опыта, который складывался в борьбе идей, отражавших конфликтующие социальные интересы. В нашем курсе обобщаются уроки выдающихся экономических мыслителей: Адама Смита и Карла Маркса, Леона Вальраса и Йозефа Шумпетера, Торстейна Веблена и Николая Кондратьева, Джона М. Кейнса и др. Мы будем разбираться в том, как, отвечая на вызовы своего времени, они создавали корпус современного экономического знания с его возможностями и ограничениями. Тем самым мы рассчитываем сделать ваш экономический здравый смысл более тренированным и просвещенным.

What are the Chances? Probability and Uncertainty in Statistics (Coursera)

This course focuses on how analysts can measure and describe the confidence they have in their findings. The course begins with an overview of the key probability rules and concepts that govern the calculation of uncertainty measures. We’ll then apply these ideas to variables (which are the building blocks of statistics) and their associated probability distributions. The second half of the course will delve into the computation and interpretation of uncertainty. We’ll discuss how to conduct a hypothesis test using both test statistics and confidence intervals. Finally, we’ll consider the role of hypothesis testing in a regression context, including what we can and cannot learn from the statistical significance of a coefficient. By the end of the course, you should be able to discuss statistical findings in probabilistic terms and interpret the uncertainty of a particular estimate.
