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.

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.

Infonomics I: Business Information Economics and Data Monetization (Coursera)

Thriving in the Information Age compels organizations to deploy information as an actual business asset, not as an IT asset or merely as a business byproduct. This demands creativity in conceiving and implementing new ways to generate economic benefits from the wide array of information assets available to an organization. Unfortunately, information too frequently is underappreciated and therefore underutilized.

The Power of Markets III: Input Markets and Promoting Efficiency (Coursera)

The final module of the Power of Markets course begins by further exploring firm behavior in imperfectly competitive market settings: how firms with monopoly power can increase profits through price discrimination; and the price-output combinations we can expect firms to select in cases of monopolistic competition and oligopoly. We will also analyze monopolies from an efficiency perspective and look at the effects of imperfect information on firm and consumer behavior. We will next turn to exploring input markets and what determines the demand for an input by a firm, an industry, and the overall market.
