This online course offered by Raj Chetty is targeted at an undergraduate in the United States without an economics or statistics background.
Some of the lectures are thus more US-focused, but the methodology and insights might be relevant for a more general perspective. The lectures cover opportunity, social mobility, innovation, economic growth, higher education, the causal effect of colleges, primary education, teachers and charter schools, racial disparities in economic opportunity, improving health outcomes, the economics of health care and insurance, improving judicial decisions, the effects of air and water pollution, policies to mitigate climate change, income taxation, behavioral public economics, and institutions and economic development.
