CAUSAL INFERENCE - PAUL R ROSENBAUM TASCHENBUCH

A nontechnical guide to the basic ideas of modern causal inference  with illustrations from
health  the economy  and public policy. Which of two antiviral drugs does the most to save
people infected with Ebola virus? Does a daily glass of wine prolong or shorten life? Does
winning the lottery make you more or less likely to go bankrupt? How do you identify genes that
cause disease? Do unions raise wages? Do some antibiotics have lethal side effects? Does the
Earned Income Tax Credit help people enter the workforce? Causal Inference provides a brief and
nontechnical introduction to randomized experiments  propensity scores  natural experiments 
instrumental variables  sensitivity analysis  and quasi-experimental devices. Ideas are
illustrated with examples from medicine  epidemiology  economics and business  the social
sciences  and public policy.
