In each experiment students make deals online with other traders and attempt to earn as much profit as possible.After each experiment, economics is really put to the test -- can economic theory predict and explain the complex interactions of the participants in the experiment?Online workbooks seamlessly incorporate the data from the experiment and guide students through the analysis and economic theory needed to understand the experiment.Experiments cover most of the key topics in microeconomics: supply and demand, labor markets, taxes, monopolies and cartels, externalities, and information economics.״ http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=555897 14.11 is a new class on the topic of field (that is, 'in situ') and laboratory experiments in the social sciences - both what these experiments have taught and can teach us and how to conduct them. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=555940 This course/workshop aims to provide an invigorating intellectual environment for graduate students and junior faculty who are interested in economic theory. We will discuss research ideas and explore topics in game theory and more broadly in economic theory. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=555999 This course is for students interested in conducting original research on economics questions. There will be an emphasis on choice of research topics, primary sources, data sources, and research methods. The primary activities are oral presentations, the preparation of a paper, and providing constructive feedback on classmates' research projects. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=555574 This course will focus on the environment of firms with particular emphasis on economic variables such as GNP, inflation, interest rates, exchange rates and international trade. The course is divided into five parts: The first presents the basic tools of macroeconomic management by focusing on historical episodes, particularly in the United States. The second looks at national economic strategies for development. The third section concentrates on the recent financial and currency crises in emerging markets. The fourth part looks at the problems faced by transition economies. Finally, the last module looks at challenges of developed countries. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=661610 This is an online course offered by University of Western Sydney. The 11 lecture series outline the author's "Monetary Circuit Theory" approach to economics http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=555930 Course DescriptionEconomics can be considered as a kind of âmeta-ethicsâ that offers man the means to survive, and can suggest how man should live. Without doubt, economics is a science. However, the natural sciences deal with natural phenomena, economics confronts social phenomena. The difficulty that economics faces in tackling social and not natural phenomena lies in the fact that the one studying economics is himself a member of society. Those who study economics need to examine the society that has brought them to life and learn about the position they hold in that society. That is why economics is âmeta-ethicsâ that contemplates how one should live. That is why economics is a double-edged sword since it also has the power to do wrong. Thus on one side though economics may be an indispensable tool to control a society, on the other side it can serve to oppose injustices by being a field of learning that is faithful to truth. Regardless of opposition or misunderstanding, the Faculty and Graduate School of Economics of the University of Tokyo will maintain our commitment to discovering and disseminating the truth. In order to carry out this mission, we will continue to walk this path in search of truth. All what we fear is of being halted. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=662876 This is a free, online course offered by UC Berkeley and available on iTunes.The course consists of 24 lectures and is designed for an interdisciplinary major. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=707646 Variaciones que experimenta la cantidad demandada frente a cambios en los precios http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=707609 Capítulo La elasticidad precio del curso Conceptos básicos de Economía
