Mastering 'Metrics

Mastering 'Metrics by Joshua D. Angrist and Jörn-Steffen Pischke presents the five core econometric methods—random assignment, regression, instrumental variables, regression discontinuity designs, and differences in differences—through engaging real-world examples and kung fu-themed humor.

The book demonstrates why econometrics, or 'metrics, is exciting and useful as the original data science for causal inference in human affairs.

It covers topics like the effects of health insurance with practical, vetted examples.
