Take a trip with me in this the third and final course of this Economics 100 Specialization which is a direct adaptation from one of my courses I teach at Rice University. Specifically, in this course we're going to be focusing on Macroeconomics. What is Macroeconomics you might be asking? Well, you've come to the right place! We're going to be going over the big picture of economics- which is examining the measures we use to gauge the health of national economies and study the theories and policies aimed at improving economic health. In a nutshell, how can we use economics to make the world a better place?

Alrighty then Econ 100. Welcome to Macro Measures. This is our first lecture in Act 3, the big picture. We made it to the big show, Macroeconomics. Here, the first thing we're going to do in macro, we're going to talk about our macro measures. Just like other social sciences, there's two sides of economics, there's the empirical side or the data side. Let's dive in!

When we're talking about economic growth, what is the name of the game? The name of the game is raising standards of living. That's what we're trying to do with economic growth. We're trying to take people in difficult situations and give them the tools and the equipment that they need to raise themselves up, put themselves in better situations, and live the lives that they want to live.

When you think savings and investment, you probably think of financial institutions-- You think stocks, bonds, Wall Street, maybe the stock market. That's where this story is taking place. Now remember here in economics, we use the term investment differently than they do in finance. In finance, when you buy stocks and bonds, they call that investment. You're investing in the market in economics when you buy those assets and that's what they are assets, we call that savings. Investment is different for us in economics as you'll see in this module!
