Environmental economics module
Dear Professors,
I am a faculty of economics in India and I use your reading material frequently to explain economics to beginners are the MBA level. I am pursuing a PhD in environmental economics, specifically in valuation of non marketed good. Is there a module that you will be introducing soon?
I look forward to one for my own academic enrichment!
Regards

Translations
Translating the lectures or adding subtitles to them would help non-English speakers learn about economics. I am thinking of older persons in France, which often have never been exposed to sound economic thinking.

Supply chain videos
Videos on supply chain - raw meterial, capital goods, production, distribution , retail and reverse logistics will be helpful too, overall you have one of the most articulate and most informative websites out there. You are an inspiration for me to write blogs on retail topics, to share knowledge uninterrupted

International Finance Certificate??
I hear there are no exams yet for International Finance and one will not get any certificates unless you pass the exam. So what must I do to get a certificate for this course?

Can you make a program for volunteers to translate your videos?
Translation into different languages will be nice.
1 voteWe have a way to do this already! If you go to mruniversity.com and look at any video page, you should see a “translate” button under the video.
Clicking on it will take you to a tool that allows you to add subtitles. We greatly appreciate any additions we get!
For example, here’s the link for the first video in our Micro course. http://www.amara.org/en/videos/AfeywxXg5Wel/info/introduction-to-economics/

Can you learn about effectiveness of price stabalization measure by the government to stabalize prices of agri commodities?
Can you learn about effectiveness of price stabalization measure by the government to stabalize prices of agri commodities? In india onion prices have huge implication for rural economy and politics. Indian government is setting up price stabalization mechanism . They will buy onion when prices fall and release the stock when prices shoot up. What does the economic theory and international experience say about such measures? I am based in India . [email protected] Can MRU help us in understanding the issue better ? Milind Murugkar

MRUniversity should create an app.
MRUniversity should create an app similar to Udemy so people can easily do economics on their phones and tablets. I would strongly prefer if there was an MRUnisveristy app that just linked the videos so I can watch it on my phone without the need of an internet browser.
18 votesThank you Thomas – great idea. We frankly aren’t doing a great job on mobile right now but we’ll get there!

Awesome Site!!!
Without a doubt THE best way to learn about economics! All of the videos are very interesting, easy to understand and very slick with high production values.
Most importantly, it gives the student of economics a very solid intuitive grasp of the subject.
Many thanks for making this open and freely available to the public.
11 votesThank you! We greatly appreciate the feedback and your support. It’s very rewarding to hear that folks appreciate the effort we pour into our videos.

MAKE Exam AVAILABLE FOR A COURSE FROM 2014!!!!
It would be VERY nice and professional of y'all to have the exam and/or certificate of completion actually available AFTER SITTING THROUGH 55 VIDEOS!!! This course was created in 2014! It is almost 2016!
1 voteHi Bill,
Thanks for the comment – getting the International Finance exam up is on our list. We’re a bit behind I know. We are a very small team.I’m always curious to learn more about what folks are doing with our materials – would you mind sharing with me what you do with our certificate?
I’ll post a note here when the exam is up. Should be within the next few months.
Thanks.

Compress Apple Podcast Videos
Hi Guys,
You´re doing such a great Job, congratulations! I watched all videos from Microeconomics course and Daily Economics.
I had a hard time downloading the videos from Apples Podcast and play them on my iPad, because they are really big. A 3 minute video can be 700 MB size, which is huge, consuming lot of storage on the device, and making it imposible to streaming if you don't have a really fast internet connection.
It would be great if you can compress them.
2 votesThanks for the suggestion. We do compress them but we’ll see what we can do to compress them further.

Contemporary economists
Maybe some videos about the most influential contemporary economists and their ideas, would be an interesting addition. And the main schools of thoughts of our times and how are they, in practice, influence the governance and the markets. Best Regards, Alexandra Popa

Release New Material on a Schedule
You asked for feedback about the Principles of Economics: Microeconomics class.
I know it's too late in the class for this to change, but in future classes it would be nice if there was some predetermined schedule for the release of new material. Long periods of time went by in the class with no new material and no idea when it would be released.
A release schedule when the class starts would be very helpful.
Thanks for the great material. So many of these topics and the way they apply to real-life situations are more complex than they appear on…
2 votesThank you for the feedback and compliments!
We are going to release our Macro on a 1 video per week schedule starting in January 2016.

We don’t have a course specifically designed for that age but I think you could find useful content in both Everyday Economics and Principles. I have a 7 year old and he enjoys them!
Here are some ideas. Drop us a note at [email protected] if you have a specific topic in mind. If we don’t have it we might be able to suggest some other places.
Trade, Division of Labor, etc
