Teaching
For undergraduate courses, using media is often helpful to both explain concepts and keep the students interested. Here are some fun ones that I like:
- Derek Mateer
- Economics Media Library. Check out the Simpsons if you are a fan!
- The Economics Guy
- Econimate
- Voxdev Videos & Talks for development topics
R vs. Stata: The great debate
(that we will not have here!)
I love Stata and remain a loyal user! Having said that, I think it's always fun to learn new tools. Here are some sources that have helped me learn R (I will soon update this list with resources for ML and Data Science)
- R for Data Science
- Andrew Heiss for data visualization (and more) using R
- GPL workshops - great for getting started. This is how I started learning R
- R cheat sheets
- Stata Translation to R by John Ricco and R for Stata Users
- Econometrics with R
- Interactive R course
