13:20 footnote. 14:09 - yes, include the benefit for set of people "knuckleheads" who refuse vaccination yet also pose the greatest risk. I say knucklehead because this is happening with COVID-19 here today and we need the same solution here.

The graphs on the slides should have been better prepared. They are confusing the audience.

[@suryapal299]

It's good lecturer

21:40 But wouldn't them using some of them ( i imagine is surplus) as fish nets make them better off. The whole overarching point was overall improvement of their lives, right?

[@ikeurquhart9055]

Economics is the study of scarce resources. Giving a bed net to person A to use as a fishing net would be useful but not as useful as giving a net to person B to protect against malaria or person C to improve sanitation

excellent

In the experiment conducted among the pregnant women, what was the order of issuance ie. Where free items given in the first week, followed by 10 shilling in the second week & so on, since the population of people who didn't get these nets reduce week after week and in a way doesn't this also reduces the demand, which is erroneously captured in the price effect. ?

Hello, why is the following statement true "They don’t bite an infected person, so they are less likely to carry the parasite (INDIRECT effect, or externality)." Thank you

[@Andre-zr9fn]

spillovers

[@Andre-zr9fn]

or rather less infected people...

[@voiceforjusticeandproporti5543]

Mosquitos that don't carry malaria parasite can become carriers by biting the person infected. They can then bite another person and transfer the malaria parasite to an uninfected person.

This accent is quite hard to understand at speed... And speed is needed because this course is incredibly slow

[@alfredhitchcock45]

[@Alan-sc3fe]

[@kandaharenglish2595]

Most of these MIT professors have thick accents and hard to comprehend. Sorry but it’s true
