To celebrate the forthcoming book, "A brief history of Economic Thought: From the Mercantilists to the Post-Keynesians", edited by Louis-Philippe Rochon and Hassan Bougrine (Edward Elgar), Louis-Philippe Rochon sat down with celebrated author and scholar Sergio Rossi to discuss his contribution "Milton Friedman and the Monetarist School".

Comment from our editors:

As one of the founders of the Chicago School of Economics and monetarist thinking, Milton Friedman has been one of the most influential economists of the twentieth century. The "Chicago Boy" developed a model where inflation is "always and everywhere a monetary phenomenon", which called for a rule-bound monetary policy to focus exclusively on inflation, if necessary to the detriment of employment. In this video, the economist Sergio Rossi describes how Friedman contested the legacy of Keynes and provides a Post-Keynesian critique of the implementation of the monetarist doctrine. The last question (minute 17:30) asked by Louis-Philippe Rochon relates to the legacy of Friedman himself today, to which Rossi answers by describing the two areas of the academic world and economic policy.

Econometrics // Lecture 3: OLS and Goodness-Of-Fit (R-Squared)
First some properties about the Sum of squared residuals and the linear regression function are restated. In particular three properties that an ideal fitted regression line must fulfill are discussed. Then, the R squared is defined using the measures of the Sum of squared residuals, the total sum of squares and the sum of explained squares.

ANOVA 3: Hypothesis test with F-statistic
The sum of squares and degree of freedom calculation from the previous videos are put into a ratio to calculate the F Value, on whose basis the null hypothesis is confirmed or rejected. If variance is higher between samples than within the null hypothesis is more likely to be rejected. The results of a numerical example are interpreted more abstractly and then tested with regards to a confidence interval and the corresponding F table.
