This was really a great experience. A course taught by a valued teach. Enjoyed it all the way though I would have liked more mathematical and theoretical models. But then where do you end in a MOOC ?

Engaging course, that helps to get the dust off the knowledge one already has, sprinkling it with topics that may not have been the focus at your business school.

在修習這門課的過程中,我深受 Robert Shiller 教授對金融體系熱情的感染。課程內容非常多元,從計量模型的計算到金融歷史的發展都有涵蓋。我特別喜歡關於「激勵機制」的討論,這讓我明白金融市場是如何透過不同的誘因來推動社會運行。測驗題目設計靈活,能有效檢視自己是否真正理解了金融在社會中扮演的角色,而非死記硬背公式。
