More female economists in your videos
Your "Economists in the Wild" videos are 78% men. Why? Is it a "Male Economists in the Wild" series? If so, maybe you should update the title to reflect that.

You need to introduce the 4 sectors of American Economic system ie 1. the Household, 2 Government sector, 3, the Business, and 4. the Global
Every Economic activity begins with the Household sector as the Household is made up of people, consumers, and producers of goods and services, people who become politicians and work for the government, the business, and international/global sectors.
The Government collects taxes from the people and uses such money in providing health, safety, serve and protect us from within and outside.
The Business sector recruits people from the Household as employees for the production of goods services, pays them their salaries, they in turn use such salaries as consumers to buy goods and services from the business sector.
The Household also…

Certificate sharing
Currently, the certificates cannot be shared on other platforms such as Linkedin. The URL provided on the certificate is only accessible when a user has logged into his account. It would have been great if you could provide a shareable certificate URL and certificate ID. This would help students showcase their learnings and add authenticity.

economists in the wild contradiction?
https://mru.org/courses/economists-wild/rise-superstar-firms-and-fall-labor-share
In this video, Autor discusses reasons for Labor's falling share of income.
He mentions Technology, Lack of Competition, Superstar Firms.Then he says "I believe there will be plenty of work." but doesn't support the claim, since, well, he admits it's a belief.
Then a few seconds later he says "There will be plenty of work, we just need to make sure people have the skills to do it" as if his stated prior belief is a fact, and as if acquiring those in-demand skills is even possible for most people.
In the video he doesn't seem to mention…

Please include more ideological diversity in the macro section
There's a wide range of views on macroeconomics. Right now, this series features the views of two libertarian (right) leaning economists.
It would be better if, say, a conservative economist was paired with a liberal economist, so students could get a better view of the range of perspectives in the field. Without this, the information has a strong bias, but the students aren't necessarily aware of it. It also doesn't represent the discipline as well.
It's better to alert people to where there are matters of debate, present the best case for the differing views and then let students make…

Nominal vs Real GDP quiz
The wording in this question could lead people to the wrong answer:
"True or false: real GDP is always larger than real GDP per capita."If the population is 1, then real GDP = real GDP per capita. As unlikely of a scenario that is...technically the answer is false. It is not always larger. It cannot be smaller because you can't have a partial person. But you could hypothetically have a single person. Maybe you should place the assumption in the question.

Econometrics Course
What a disappointment this "course" is. The waste of resources and time on cute production values, at the expense of real content, is unbelievable. For example, why should anyone wait several months and watch a couple of elaborately produced animated videos just to learn how to say "all other things being equal" in Latin? For that matter who at this level of learning should have to know any Latin at all? Why should I be amused by a professor wearing a rag around his forehead? The idea that a teacher feels the need to go to these lengths to dumb…
