Keen first compares neoclassical approaches to modelling with heterodox ones.

At the end some dynamic models with feedback mechanisms are shown.

Econometrics // Lecture 2: "Simple Linear Regression" (SLR)
First some terminology is explained. Then the interpretations of the coefficients and constants of the function are discussed. Afterwards the zero conditional mean assumption regarding the residual is problematized. Lastly, a graphical representation of a regression line is given and the least sum of squared errors is introduced and the equation for the coefficient of the linear function as well as for the intercept is given.
