This is a course for those who are interested in the challenge …
This is a course for those who are interested in the challenge posed by massive and persistent world poverty, and are hopeful that economists might have something useful to say about this challenge. The questions we will take up include: Is extreme poverty a thing of the past? What is economic life like when living under a dollar per day? Why do some countries grow fast and others fall further behind? Does growth help the poor? Are famines unavoidable? How can we end child labor - or should we? How do we make schools work for poor citizens? How do we deal with the disease burden? Is micro finance invaluable or overrated? Without property rights, is life destined to be "nasty, brutish and short"? Has globalization been good to the poor? Should we leave economic development to the market? Should we leave economic development to non-governmental organizations (NGOs)? Does foreign aid help or hinder? Where is the best place to intervene?

In this video we illustrate and explain the differences between a change in the quantity demanded for a good (which causes a movement along a demand curve) and the change in a good's demand (which causes the entire demand curve to shift).
A demand shifter is a change that shifts the demand curve for …
A demand shifter is a change that shifts the demand curve for a product. One of the demand shifters is buyers' expectations. If a buyer expects the price of a good to go down in the future, they hold off buying it today, so the demand for that good today decreases. On the other hand, if a buyer expects the price to go up in the future, the demand for the good today increases. Explore the role of buyers' expectations as a determinant of demand in this video.

A common error new economic students make is confusing changes in supply with changes in quantity supplied. A change in quantity supplied is a movement along the supply curve in response to a change in price. A change in supply is a shift of the entire supply curve in response to something besides price.

Previously we looked at what happens to the equilibrium price and quantity in a market if supply or demand change. In this video, we explore what happens when BOTH supply and demand are changing at the same time.
In this video, we explore how changes in a few factors affect …
In this video, we explore how changes in a few factors affect the demand curve. Changes in income, population, and consumer preferences cause the entire demand curve to shift. Created by Sal Khan.
Changes in the supply of labor have an effect on the wage …
Changes in the supply of labor have an effect on the wage rate. The supply of labor shifts when there are changes in the population, changes in preferences and social norms, and changes in wage rates and opportunities in other markets. Learn how to show the effects of changes in labor supply on wage rates in this video.
When supply or demand change, the price and quantity in the market …
When supply or demand change, the price and quantity in the market changes. See how a change in demand or supply affects price and quantity in this video. Created by Sal Khan.

Economists who studied the relationship between inflation and unemployment made an important modification to the Phillips curve model with the addition of the long-run Phillips curve (LRPC). When expectations are factored in, and there is enough time to adjust, the Phillips curve is vertical. Explore why in this video.

The origin of this book is in conversations I had over the years with several colleagues in the field of Sinology (the study of history, literature and culture of traditional China). The course title did not only attract the attention of the students, but also of people who would like to teach this material, and asked me for the syllabus and even suggested I write a textbook. What meets the eye at first is a set of chapters written by the students who took the course in Spring 2019. The students are not experts at China, they do not know Chinese and thus had to rely on English-language materials available to them through our library and my personal collection. Many are at the start of their journey of learning to write for their college-level peers.
