I'm a second-year econ student picking my classes for next semester. This was exactly the video I needed! Learning econometrics online has been a pain this semester, but now I'm enrolling in econometrics II for the winter. Thank you!

What should I do if I can’t take Econometrics until my third year? Should I take a bunch of math courses or should I start learning how to program or both?

[imanmalekshahi]

wow im a second year bachelors student and this helped me a lot, i also think taking math and statistics classes seriously is really important.

Hey Craig, thanks for your content, man. Your the best economics youtuber around!

Then your understanding of marxian economics is very limited.

i took 2 statistics classes, 1 econometrics class and planning to visit a second econometrics lecture. also had some econometrics in developing economics, do you think that should be enough? 😂🙂
best regards

I strongly disagree with the marxist economics part of the video, it helps to create a critical thinking about capitalism. An economist without social perspective is not a real economist even if you do a lot of numbers and complex analysis. Numbers can´t reflect the reality.
Liberal economics have destroyed the world as much as communism but Karl Marx Capital is the best book ever written about the flaws and the components of capitalism so I strongly encourage to to anyone studying economics to read at least a little about it.
I´m not communist but if I have not learned about other economic ways of thinking that are not the typical orthodox recipe I would not have been able to understand the situation of my country and how the economical ideas implemented in the 80 destroyed it.

If you think that Marxist economics is stuck in the past, look at some courses or online videos by Anwar Shaikh. Btw, most Political Economy classes are based on a Marxian approach.

Why is econometrics such an important unit, and how does it differ from microeconomics?

[aaronbanks]

Hey Dr. Palsson, if I’m interested really interested in doing a lot of pure theory in grad school, what kind of things can I do as an undergrad to prepare?? Thanks!

I am starting my 3rd year in economics and i have been debating / wondering on ehat subjects i should habe chosen, and this has helped narrow down some choices. The only choices i cant finalize is between economic history and labour economics since i have interest in the way economic hostory is done but i am doubting my skills in being in that subject.

I don’t have this at my college. Only have Marco and micro

This was an amazing video. Thank you! I just finished taking my first Econometrics course and I’m taking an applied econometrics course in panel data next semester!

You conclude that an undergraduate economics student must do search alot? And master in statistics v econometrics?

[linasg]

Hi! thanks for creating this channel and still making videos that help students like me :) I just wanted to ask you, if i have taken macro and micro for the first 2 years of my undergrad, will it be sensible to take them again in my final year as an advanced level or am i better off taking other modules? I am personally not a fan of Macroeconomics, but I am a bit scared that If i don't take them again I might be less qualified. What do you think? thanks a lot
