My colleague Tanya Byker and I developed these simulations to enhance our teaching of statistics and econometrics at Middlebury College. Kevin Serrao ’18, Dylan Mortimer ’19, Ammar Almahdy ’20, Jacqueline Palacios ’20, Siyuan Niu ’21, David Gikoshvili ’21, and Ethan Saxenian ’22 provided excellent research assistance.
