Product Description
Mostly Harmless Econometrics: An Empiricists Companion (9780691120355): Joshua D. Angrist, Jörn-Steffen Pischke: Books. A quirky and thought-provoking read for any budding econometrician. . . . Insightful and refreshing. -- James Davidson, Times Higher EducationI'd recommend it to the entire range of empirical economists, from those still in training to those who, like me, have only a hazy memory of statistical theory and stick to our tried and tested methods of estimation . . . an excellent guide to how to do basic regression/IV/panel data estimation really well. In particular, it demonstrates through many examples how to bring about a happy marriage between one's underlying model and the data which might or might not confirm the researcher's hypotheses. -- Diane Coyle, The Enlightened Economist BlogThe applied econometric methods emphasized in this book are easy to use and relevant for many areas of contemporary social sciences. -- Pavel Stoynov, Zentralblatt MATH[T]he matter covered in the book is surely of interest to most agricultural economists. Even if it is not a complete overview of existing econometric research methods, it certainly contains a good deal of hands on advice driven by years of experience. -- European Review of Agricultural EconomicsThis book is an extremely thought-provoking contribution to the literature. It champions a different paradigm to that characterising most econometrics texts and does so with considerable (idiosyncratic) style and grace. Highly recommended! -- David Harris and Christopher L. Skeels, Economic Record
