The Effect: An Introduction to Research Design and Causality

Finally... a book that covers good research design AND the key methods to answer causal questions AND nice code examples! The author does an excellent job walking the reader through the research process in a practical and very accessible way. I couldn't put this book down! I'm an experienced quantitative researcher and will be recommending this to colleagues (and using as teaching resource!).

This book has mastered how to make a book about causal analysis entertaining to read for a wide audience. A one in a lifetime masterpiece!

Easily the best written introduction to causal inference out there

It's a really great intro to causal thinking that is far more approachable than your standard econometrics textbook

Seems like a very well-written book, but arrived damaged, almost like it was dropped at some point during packing. In addition, the printing is sometimes poor, with the ink fading slightly towards the bottom of the page. In many cases the margins are off - there is almost an inch of white space for the footer consistently and less than a quarter of an inch for the footer at times. It seems like they tried to just offer a quick print for the sake of a print version being offered. Just use the online version and save your money.
