At the risk of exposing how big of a nerd I am, I was so pumped to have met THE @ChrisPerkinsDnD on my flight today! Big thanks for the photo, will always love that 4e adventure with the robot chicken crew.

Updating some of the exercises for my class “Data Science for Business Applications”. If you have/know of cool (clean) data that can be used for causal inference and/or prediction, let me know! (It’s undergrad level, and topics can be broad).

This fall I'll be teaching a new online Mixtape class on design-based regression/IV analysis
The content will draw on my graduate applied 'metrics class at Brown, and will assume a basic knowledge of causal inference tools and regression mechanics
Sign up now! Discounts for students and those in low-income countries, as usual!

I’ll be using TCwD this coming fall in my econometrics class for business students. I absolutely adore the book.
For those of you starting to think about your classes for next year, your occasional reminder that two of my books--Thinking Clearly with Data and Political Economy for Public Policy--have extensive teaching materials freely available online.

Another day, another round of my feed being overwhelmed with people fighting about whether behavioral economics is useful or trash. This following days of "All EJMR All the Time."
Can we go back to the equilibrium where people just s#*tpost memes and / or pictures of their pets?

Excited to see this in physical form! This books hits a really interesting intersection for students, and Rohan’s writing is very clear and engaging.

OMFG it exists (photo from a colleague in the UK). I apologize in advance, but this account is going to be (even more) insufferable for the next month.

This is why I always add "reddit" to my searches, though with recent stuff going down there I'm not sure what comes next...

I've said this before hut seems to me like Google is a house of cards. Its main value (search) has been degraded enormously, and the ad business built on top of that seems mostly bogus. forbes.com/sites/joetoscano1…
