Introductory Labor Economics

For many years as a professor I taught labor economics. And while there are several good introductory texts, none felt they matched my lecture plans. So I ended up just writing my own book! And I was in Korea so wanted some of the data to be specific to the student body. Please feel free to use as a reference if you are teaching a course. The book can be donwloaded here - (Introductory Labor Economics: A Modern Approach)

Introductory Econometrics with R

I taught intro econometrics many times, and always felt teaching with a statistical language was the way to go. Here is the course material I used to teach using R as the language of choice. The course is loosely based on Wooldridge’s text, though I have added specific adjustments (like using Pearl’s ‘do’ notation from the get-go to help ease into the issue of ommited variable bias).
