Professor Shiller inspired me to start my carrier in economics and finance. I am currently a high schooler and because of professor Shiller I was introduced to Game theory, I am currently writing two research papers and have gotten very interested in the subject. All of this goes to professor Shiller, I am in the 11th grade and working towards getting admitted into Yale and eventually meeting the man himself and collaborating in research. Thank you, professor!

Excelente recurso, bien estructurado y adecuado. Las lecturas y conversatorios fueron muy digeribles. Adicionalmente, las contribuciones de los invitados al final del curso, así como otros recursos de referencia fueron enriquecedores e inspiradores. En el interior del curso se refleja de manera clara el propósito y la utilidad real de las finanzas que no siempre se destaca, cómo las finanzas son una herramienta para el desarrollo, para el logro de objetivos.

Financial markets, from the name itself, are a type of marketplace that provides an avenue for the sale and purchase of assets such as bonds , stocks, foreign exchange, and derivatives. Often, they are called by different names, including Street” and “capital market,” but all of them still mean one and the same thing. Simply put, businesses and investors can go to financial markets to raise money to grow their business and to make more money, respectively.

This is an amazing course. Even learning the fundamentals of economic and financial theory from one of the most brilliant minds of our times is literally an opportunity one should not miss. The course covers a range of topics and subjects that are covered in a very applicable and relatable manner. Prof Shiller's lectures make you think in a different way and promotes you to think intuitively about everyday things and how they affect the financial markets.

It was a fantastic way to learn about financial markets; it was really helpful in understanding the financial world and how it affects all sectors and all periods of history, such as crises, new inventions, globalization, and so on. I want to keep going along this educational road since it was useful and fascinating and has applications for my career. I would like to congratulate Professor Shiller and his assistant on a job well done. Fantastic course!

As an introductory course to finance I believe this course can be considered sufficient. Also, it gives the idea about what finance currently is and how it supposed to be.

Some constructive comments from my side are ;

The mathematical side of finance is not explained in deep and some formulas and their meaning are not explained extensively, this can be improved.

Especially out of the auditorium camera is continuously shaking and makes it hard to follow.

It was a great learning experience under Professor Shiller. The best part about this course was that it not only discusses about stocks but also how our mental biases affect the financial markets at large. Also, the social issues mentioned with respect to financial literacy were very well documented. Getting to know about behavioral finance was definitely a new thing. Regulatory aspects of various organisations and Acts was also a much needed touch.

Its an outstanding programme designed by Yale University. I have been following prof Shiller from long, i didn't thought that one day I'll take his course . Thank God.

The course structure was highly commendable ,it covered each and every aspect of Financial markets.Im sure Coursera and Yale University made me to stand as a strong Financial Advisor . Thank you Coursera and Yale University for giving me the opportunity to pursue the great programme.

I used to be positively intimidated by just the word finance but that was before I found this course. I am a management student and was going to take marketing as an elective but after this course, I will be going for finance. It made me understand and see the complexity of finance and how it affects various prospects of life directly or indirectly. Also, there couldn't have been a better person to be introduced to this world than Professor Shiller.

Excellent course! Thank you so much Professor Shiller and Team for designing and teaching this wonderful and much needed course. A small message for future learners- this course might seem daunting at first, but the wonderful thing is that it's designed for you to learn at your own intellectual pace. One thing that helped me immensely was re-reading my notes and looking up terms or concepts on Investopedia whenever I had doubts. All the best!

This is a one time opportunity to learn an overarching syllabus on Financial Markets, with the most notable and excellent professor Shiller and with one of the most prestigious universities in the world. Contents and materials are diversified and learning checkpoints along the course help to consolidate our understanding of the subjects. I enjoyed every minute of this learning experience and look forward to continuing my lifelong learning path.

Financial Markets was a very intriguing and applicable course to real world situations. Robert Shiller incorporated personal experience into theory and mathematical equations which assisted in memorization and understanding of the financial institutions. The guest speakers further informed of innovative solutions which assisted developing nations in overcoming financial strain and availability of alternative funding through social institutions.

I want to thank Coursera, Yale University as well as Robert Shiller for creating this course and making it free for all during these unprecedented times. I believe that keeping the mind sharp is more important now than it has ever been and you have offered a chance for individuals like myself to do something positive with their time spent in isolation. If I'm ever passing New Haven, Connecticut I'll be sure to drop by and thank you in person!

This course is everything but traditional and boring. Talking about AI, pandemics... all in 2016 by proffesor who kind of predicted a 2008 crysis in 2006... I think there is not a better or more fun way to learn about Financial Markets than this course. It is not simply talking about Economics and Finance, it is also heavily focused on Psychology, Bihevioral Finance and Phylantrophics alongside Social Issues and Innovation. I give it a 11/10

Professor Shiller is the best without any competition. i have learned a lot of information from him and

i still learning from him. his way in explanation are very simple and exciting until he reach the information .he was with me all time thanks again and i will review again and again the course.

of course i recommend the course for every one who wants to get to learning something new in his life.

Thanks again and we expected more from you.

This course woke me up in the best way possible! I learned so many things and I can't wait to use all of it to my day-to-day life even though I'm not a business major! Professor Shiller is A GEM! He's one of those Professors that will actually make you think more and think deeper than usual. He's also very straight to the point which I love because I still have real life real time school if you get what I'm saying! This course is AMAZING.

The best course in my opinion for people has desire begin in financial markets. The Professor Mr. Robert don't talk like normal life (I guess that he do this way cause he knows that have many students from countries that has no structure to english for all people - This turn Professor like a magician). You learn a lot and lot about everything financial markets and then you could choose the area that you needs to involve yourself. #Ethics

Curso muito explicativo e genérico, fornecendo uma ampla visão do mercado financeiro mundial, suas características e nuances. O professor laureado com o prêmio Nobel, Robert Shiller, soube apresentar com clareza e empenho os temas propostos. Trata-se de um ótimo curso para aqueles que desejam conhecer mais sobre como é o funcionamento do mercado financeiro mundial, com maior ênfase nos Estados Unidos, o maior mercado de ações do mundo.

I would like to thanks Yale University and Coursera for this opportunity, this course contains information on Financial Markets that depending on how eager students are, one can go deeper and increase his/her knowledge. I Personally enjoyed the Options, Bonds and Financialization of real estate as topics. I would like to see more engagement; for instant if we can add a section to have more up to date topics about financial industry.

I am a chemist with no finance background. About 6 months ago, I decided to start investing in the stock market and thought I would try this course to learn more about finance and I cannot praise this course enough. I did really well and have learned a lot about investment strategies well beyond the stock market. I have recommended this course on my facebook to all of my friends and family and I will say, it is 100% worth your time.

This is an excellent course. It opened my eyes to how finance, through innovation in financial products, and ultimately public policy, has the potential to have great positive social impact. Additionally, a wealth of overall knowledge of financial markets, financial instruments, and some of the history behind various innovations. Bonus interviews and guest lecturer segments emphasized and supported the values of the course as well.

One of the best courses I've taken so far in Coursera. "Financial Market" was a great course that covered topics ranging from financial history to ethical and moral connotations of finance. Moreover, finance and technology are in many ways connected.

Also, I would love to thank Professor Shiller for his excellent lecture that fascinated my understanding of finance. I look forward to taking more of his course lectures in the future.

THE COURSE WAS GREAT, THE PROFESSOR WAS AMAZING AND VERY THOUGHTFUL ON HOW TO PRESENT THE INFORMATION. IT'S EVERYTHING I THOUGHT THE CLASS WOULD BE AND IT WAS FAIR TO ITS EXPLANATION ON WHAT WAS TO BE COVERED. ALONG WITH THE BOOKS, IT COVERED EVERYTHING I NEEDED AND A LOT MORE; IN A VERY PRACTICAL USEFUL WAY RATHER THAN THEORY. THANK YOU PROFESSOR FOR SHARING. I WILL CHECK BACK IN WHEN I START RUNNING MY FIRST HEDGE FUND. CHEERS.

I have never, ever in my life, taken a better and clearer class of every finance subject. Professor Shiller dominates every concept and thats´ whay he is so good and clear in explaining. He is a genius. It is a gift from him to us in every master class he delivers. He is a very generous person and an excellent human being. For certain my role model.

Thank you very much Professor Schiller. Congratulations for such great course!!!
