I interviewed Scott Cunningham (@causalinf), professor of economics at Baylor, on Claude Code, AI, and economics.

Scott's *51* post series on Substack on Claude Code for economics research has been instrumental for introducing agentic coding to economists.

Here's what we discussed:
> Scott's views on verification in AI-aided applied microeconomics
> The impact of AI on the returns to understanding econometrics
> How Scott is testing the models' tendencies to specification search
> What Scott discovered doing a multi-language replication of Callaway Sant'Anna 2021 (@pedrohcgs)
> How AI is helping Scott, an applied microeconomist, start to do applied theory
> Scott's experience teaching agentic coding at his causal inference workshops ("The Mixtape Sessions")
> How Scott is adapting his teaching due to AI

I put together a short practical guide for economists who want to use Claude Code, but who haven't gotten around to trying yet.

The goal is to reduce the start-up costs by using Claude Code within VS Code.
