Robert Shiller Open Yale Course 2011

Robert  Shiller, Arthur is  M. Okun Professor of Economics. This Yale College course, taught on campus twice per week for 75 minutes, was recorded for Open Yale Courses in Spring 2011. An overview of the ideas, methods, and institutions that permit human society to manage risks and foster enterprise. Description of practices today and analysis of prospects for the future. Introduction to risk management and behavioral finance principles to understand the functioning of securities, insurance, and banking industries. Not sure if anyone saw this but I just found this great link with Robert Shiller’s open course from 2011. To make it easy to navigate I have linked all the material from Shiller below. A mini MBA (which will be in many cases more practical than most programs) below!
