The 8th iteration of my #ProgramEvaluation and #CausalInference course is up and live at https://evalsp23.classes.andrewheiss.com/ !

It covers basic econometrics and DAGs, all with #rstats, and it's mostly asynchronous with dozens of hours of videos, and the whole thing is Creative Commons-licensed, so do whatever you want with it! #epitwitter #EconTwitter #statsodon
