More to come—let us know what you think!

Whether you’re deep into causal modeling or just wondering how to mix methods better, these vids are a great starting point.

Integrated Inferences

The ideas are still new to a lot of researchers, so we made short, no-jargon videos to walk you through the basics.

They’re intuitive, conversational, and now live:

Causal inference nerds (and the causal-curious): we posted some videos

@macartan.bsky.social and I wrote *Integrated Inferences*—a book on using causal models to connect process tracing, experiments, and more.

Thanks, Mark!

This book w/ @macartan.bsky.social – on how to integrate theory with data from diverse empirical strategies – has been many fun years in the making, and we're excited to finally have it out in the world!

See ⬇️ for links to the book at CUP, an open access version, software, and many thank you's!
