Econometrics Video Handbook

  • Together with a team of colleagues at UCSD, I have helped develop an online Econometrics Video Handbook (EVH). The EVH includes over 170 video lectures organized into an on-line book that provides a comprehensive treatment of econometric methods for both prediction analysis and causal inference as well as basic concepts in probability and statistics. A modern approach is taken to clearly distinguish prediction analysis from causal inference. While traditional econometric topics such as ordinary least squares are covered in detail, the EVH is oriented more towards recovering causal links among economic variables using experiments and quasi-experiments, control functions, instrumental variables, difference-in-differences, and regression discontinuity. It is available for free to all instructors and students in the UC system, and for a nominal fee for individuals at other universities. Link to information page
