The Effect is a book about research design and causal inference. How can we use data to learn about the world? How can we answer questions about whether X causes Y even if we can't run a randomized experiment? The book covers these things and plenty more. These videos are meant to accompany the book, although they can also be viewed on their own.
This video relates to material found in Chapter 10 of the book.

In this video I cover how causal estimates sometimes represent average treatment effects *among some group*. That could be a group defined by its characteristics (men vs. women, for example) or by treatment status.
