The core methods in today's econometric toolkit are linear regression for statistical control, instrumental variables methods for the analysis of natural experiments, and differences-in-differences methods that exploit policy changes. In the modern experimentalist paradigm, these techniques address clear causal questions such as: Do smaller classes increase learning? Should wife batterers be arrested? How much does education raise wages? Mostly Harmless Econometrics shows how the basic tools of applied econometrics allow the data to speak.
In addition to econometric essentials, Mostly Harmless Econometrics covers important new extensions--regression-discontinuity designs and quantile regression--as well as how to get standard errors right. Joshua Angrist and Jörn-Steffen Pischke explain why fancier econometric techniques are typically unnecessary and even dangerous. The applied econometric methods emphasized in this book are easy to use and relevant for many areas of contemporary social science.
* An irreverent review of econometric essentials
* A focus on tools that applied researchers use most
* Chapters on regression-discontinuity designs, quantile regression, and standard errors
* Many empirical examples
* A clear and concise resource with wide applications

The DD idea was probably pioneered by physician John Snow (1855), who studied cholera epidemics in London in the mid-nineteenth century. Snow wanted to establish that cholera is transmitted by contaminated drinking water (as opposed to "bad air," the prevai...

跳着看过不少段落但一直没系统看过一遍（Douglas Adams的小说我都看完了两本= =）用两个月的时间终于从头到尾读了一遍（当然也跳过了一些不常用的章节）。确实非常practical，对FE, DID和se的讨论有常读常新的感觉。

想做Field Experiment的可以读读，非常有参考价值。但如果手头只有observational data的，看这本书估计没什么用……

不适合作为正儿八经的教材，但是很适合做research用，有点计量的基础再读比较好。

导师推荐metrics，其实这本觉得说得更清楚。不过现在是不怕技术了。。

我是为什么要选Causal Inference 这么课？！后来去听reduced-form的seminars都是抱着听故事的心态了。

读完的第二本专业书，学长推荐的入门教程，有证明没看懂，但大概意思知道了。可能需要反复理解…
