verified certificate available at edX

You worked hard to earn your certificate from BerkeleyX — share it with colleagues, friends, and family to get the word out about what you mastered in Fundamentals of Economics.

I am doing just that. The cert is available here.

I never cared for certificates. Things change though. “Now we gotta make the best of it, improvise, adapt to the environment, Darwin, I Ching, whatever man, we gotta roll with it.”

So, I signed up for this program called “DATA 88EX: Economic Models with Python”. (more details here, on edx,)

It has 3 courses, the first one, I just completed, is “Fundamentals of Economics” (link here)

I have two more courses to complete, “Advanced Concepts Economics” and “Real World Applications”. I have already purchased these two courses. Once I complete this, the edX people will issue me a “Professional Certificate”.

All said and done, I do not know if the certificates are worth the money I paid for it. However, I am learning some stuff, and at some indetermined point in the future, I might actually benefit from these certs. So, here goes nothing.

MBA in Finance (2006–2008). Full time student of MA Economics (2024 to 2026). more about me on my website and Github.
