When will I have access to the lectures and assignments?

To access the course materials, assignments and to earn a Certificate, you will need to purchase the Certificate experience when you enroll in a course. You can try a Free Trial instead, or apply for Financial Aid. The course may offer 'Full Course, No Certificate' instead. This option lets you see all course materials, submit required assessments, and get a final grade. This also means that you will not be able to purchase a Certificate experience.

What will I get if I subscribe to this Specialization?

When you enroll in the course, you get access to all of the courses in the Specialization, and you earn a certificate when you complete the work. Your electronic Certificate will be added to your Accomplishments page - from there, you can print your Certificate or add it to your LinkedIn profile.

Is financial aid available?

Yes. In select learning programs, you can apply for financial aid or a scholarship if you can’t afford the enrollment fee. If fin aid or scholarship is available for your learning program selection, you’ll find a link to apply on the description page.

The amount of money and credit in economies, the growth of economies and the profitability of companies are important indicators of economic health. Money and credit help to drive economic activity. The rate of economic output shows the results of past economic activity while corporate profitability reflects the effectiveness of corporations. Taken together, these economic indicators help us determine where we’re going and where we are. In this course, we’ll learn about economic indicators that cover the central banking system, the government bond system, fiscal budgets, economic growth calculations and the importance of corporate profitability. Some of the indicators include the money supply, yield curve, gross domestic product and corporate profits.
