This is a college lecture introduces the concept productivity and how it effects the economy of a nation. The lecture will start with real life data, but if you are only looking for textbook material skip to 21:05. For my classroom I do cover how to look at realworld economic data which I feel is important aspect of any course (realworld).

Chapters:
00:00 Start
00:53 Why Do Some Countries See Different Growth Rates?
21:05 Productivity (Defined and Example)
23:48 Determinants of Productivity
25:48 Public Policies That Effect Economic Growth
39:27 Population Growth
40:45 Factors That Can Result In Low Economic Development

I developed this lecture series to assist students who need a little extra help with the material. The lectures topics are based on one of the most popular college economic textbooks (there are 5 versions of the textbook) used in universities around the country and world.

As always, this is reference material and students should refer to their own course material and instructors.

Finally, I am not a professional video maker and do these from my home for my students but share with everyone to use to assist in passing their college courses. Each time I make one there is something not perfect about them, could be a word I just could not say, a funny misspelling I only see after I post, or some odd audio. This time let see if you can hear when my teenage son decided he just could not wait another minute to heat up his lunch and noisily uses the microwave.
