First off, I love watching your videos and try my best not to miss one. I'm also very interested in economic history and the different schools of economic thought. I was interested in what school you align most with? I also think it would be super interesting if you did a video or video series on the different schools of thought. It seems New Keynesian economics is widely regarded as the accepted school of thought today, but there are other schools that I find very fascinating like the Austrian school. It would be super interesting to see someone dive into the contributions and contributors of each of those schools. I know you got your hands full; I just think that would be awesome. Thanks!

I don't principally identify with any school of thought. Most of the macro I learned was either New Keynesian or RBC, but the majority of economists (myself included) are not macroeconomists. Most empirical economists focus on a set of policies and follow the evidence.

hey Market Power I am still doing my undergrad but I tutor people for the intro micro and macro courses at my university as well as tutor high school students in their upper year econ courses (In my country Trinidad we have an additional optional 2 years of high school for people wanting to go into more complex fields like econ. STEM or law) and I have used your videos to show people the potential of perusing a career in economics or at least the value in studying it. They particularly find the "why x field of econ is the best" videos inspiring because it seems nothing like the intro micro or macro which can seem rather pointless in abstraction to them. I would love if you continued this serious, I know you're covering your fields of interest first but if I could suggest that you look to interview guests for the fields you yourself don't enjoy I am sure you would be able to produce good quality videos for all the fields. I have students who I think would be interested in industrial organization, finance, international trade, game theory, econometrics, and health economics and I would love to send them videos from you. It would be really cool if you could reach out to some of your former Yale Professors for videos on some fields, or your colleagues at your current institution.

Hi, can you do a video about the deceptive nature of graduate school economics programs when transitioning from an undergraduate degree in econ? It seems that most econ programs do not have nearly enough quantitative courses required in the undergraduate economics programs and many (like myself) are forced to take many more math courses to be considered eligible to be a candidate for econ graduate school.

Hey Craig! Huge fan of the channel. Would love some input from ya- I'm a filmmaker who's worked on the outskirts of the industry for about eight years. I currently have a solid gig but want to pursue higher education to bolster my foundation. I'm currently in CC and plan to transfer for the Fall of 22 after my work contract's up. My main goal is to promote and produce stories from underrated and undervalued Christian artists and filmmakers. I'm currently in production on a Christian-based short myself and plan to use it as a calling card to secure future funding... In regards to school, I am looking at a couple of film schools for transfer next year (USC, UCLA, Chapman, UT Austin, UNCSA, etc.) BUT, since I've already established myself as a filmmaker, film school feels a little redundant to me. I'm actually more interested in pursuing something with economics, particularly in relation to the entertainment industry. "Entertainment Economics" if you will. What category of Econ would you say this falls into? Also, what Econ programs in the U.S. do you think could line up with some of my interests? I know this a long comment but any input you've got, I'd appreciate man. Thanks!

​@@MarketPowerYT I'm actually a little unsure about the math part because I realize that I'm not really interested in math though I have a relative strong math foundation. However, I realize that having solid math skills is important for economics students. I'm currently a freshman at college and there's still a lot of time for me to discover different subjects. I might also minor even major in data science and I decide to take intro courses next semester.

How could an Economics PhD make a contribution apart from new knowledge? Like if I'm doing on agriculture or development does this new knowledge enable me lend expertise to farmers or locals? What kind of skills are required? In my country PhD is must for Professorship so people are trying to somehow get one.

Expertise in a field could help you identify the best interventions. So if you saw that farmers weren't applying the optimal amount of fertilizer, your research during a PhD could be about interventions that help farmers achieve the optimum (e.g. do they not know what's best? do they need credit to buy it? etc.) Then you could apply your findings to policy.

I wonder if new fields and theories come out of development economics, like Universal Basic Income etc. They never covered that in my undergrad back ten years ago or so, but it's always been around. I wonder if green accounting is studied in development economics. But I prefer math and econometrics, I just love finding relationships using complicated math or heuristics like linear algebra.
