About Scott's Mixtape
Scott's Mixtape is a weekly newsletter by Scott Cunningham, a professor and economist at Baylor University and author of Causal Inference: the Mixtape. It features explainer essays on causal inference, empirical papers, and often explores ChatGPT essay writing. It also hosts The Mixtape with Scott, an oral history podcast sharing personal stories of economists and others.
I write about passions like causal inference, mental illness, or ChatGPT. I help people understand econometrics with plain language, code examples, and real-world data. My podcast shares economists' stories, and I'm proud of my ChatGPT-created epistolary novel, based on Lee Smith’s Fair and Tender Ladies, featuring an Ivy Rowe who loves Daniel McFadden.
