Description
Causal Inference provides a clear and concise introduction to modern causal inference, using real-world examples from medicine, economics, and public policy. This guide covers key concepts such as randomized experiments, propensity scores, natural experiments, instrumental variables, sensitivity analysis, and quasi-experimental devices. The book illustrates these ideas with practical examples, helping readers understand how to identify cause-and-effect relationships in various fields. From the impact of antiviral drugs on Ebola virus patients to the effects of winning the lottery on financial stability, Causal Inference offers a comprehensive overview of modern causal inference methods. With its nontechnical approach and focus on real-world applications, this book is an ideal resource for anyone looking to understand and apply causal inference in their work or studies.
