MOTIVATION

I make courses on Udemy primarily because I enjoy the process of causing learning. Many of my courses are to improve lives. One of the Economics courses is to raise money for charity. (100% of revenue goes to the charity) Fundamentally this course is about helping you.

About this course

This is an economics course about the economic impact of the 2018 World Cup. (Macro economics and micro economics) By basing the course around the World Cup we make the subject , relevant, approachable and Economics actually becomes easy!

We look at the impact of the World Cup on various countries but also consider the economic theory behind this impact.

Macro economics concepts include:

• The multiplier

• Inflation

• Economic growth

• Unemployment

• International trade

• Aggregate demand

• Injections/leakages

• Government economic policy

• Balance of payments

Economies:

• Russia

• France

• UK

• USA

• Croatia

We also apply game theory to penalty shoot-outs. (Football) The course starts off with the 2014 World Cup but quickly moves on to the impact of hosting the football tournament, of qualifying (or not) and actually winning he final.

We also consider controversies and Pussy Riot!

Although the course is looking at the World Cup, make no mistake, this is all economics, economics, economics!
