The lecture reads FRED's fredgraph.csv endpoint directly — its own in-lecture comment records that this was deliberate — and never imports pandas_datareader, so the !pip install pandas-datareader cell is a leftover from before that switch. Removing it and its one-sentence lead-in changes no output and drops a package from the build environment.

This is item 1 of the recommendation on QuantEcon/data-lectures#26 (delete the vestigial installs, independent of any decision about the package). The inventory named three lectures; the two in lecture-python-intro (networks, input_output) were already cleaned up in QuantEcon/lecture-python-intro#803, so this is the last one.

The lecture deliberately reads FRED's CSV endpoint (its own comment says
so) and never imports pandas_datareader; only the install line survived
the switch. Removing it changes no output and shrinks the build
environment. The two intro lectures in the same inventory were cleaned
up in QuantEcon/lecture-python-intro#803, so this is the last of the
three.

See QuantEcon/data-lectures#26.

Pull request overview

Removes a vestigial pip install pandas-datareader setup cell from the doubts_or_variability lecture, aligning the notebook with its current approach of downloading FRED data directly via the fredgraph.csv endpoint (i.e., no pandas_datareader usage).

Changes:

  • Deleted the introductory text and hidden code cell that installed pandas-datareader.
  • Leaves the lecture’s existing direct-FRED download path unchanged (no functional/output changes expected).

💡 Add a code-review agent skill or configure MCP servers for context-aware, tailored reviews. Learn more in the docs.
