The core methods in today's econometric toolkit are linear regression for statistical control, instrumental variables methods for the analysis of natural experiments, and differences-in-differences methods that exploit policy changes. In the modern experimentalist paradigm, these techniques address clear causal questions such as: Do smaller classes increase learning? Should wife batterers be arrested? How much does education raise wages? Mostly Harmless Econometrics shows how the basic tools of applied econometrics allow the data to speak.
In addition to econometric essentials, Mostly Harmless Econometrics covers important new extensions--regression-discontinuity designs and quantile regression--as well as how to get standard errors right. Joshua Angrist and Jörn-Steffen Pischke explain why fancier econometric techniques are typically unnecessary and even dangerous. The applied econometric methods emphasized in this book are easy to use and relevant for many areas of contemporary social science.
* An irreverent review of econometric essentials
* A focus on tools that applied researchers use most
* Chapters on regression-discontinuity designs, quantile regression, and standard errors
* Many empirical examples
* A clear and concise resource with wide applications
Joshua D. Angrist is professor of economics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Jörn-Steffen Pischke is professor of economics at the London School of Economics and Political Science.
书是一本好书,但是翻译得太糟糕了。抛开翻译要求信达雅不提,光是简单的公式抄写的错误就很多,看了10页发现了3处错误,而且每处都是对于理解推导过程有用的。还好有英文版的可以对照看,不然的话白白浪费很多时间。 建议如果英语水平不是太差的话,还是去看原版书吧,这个版...
评分本书出色的将OLS,DID, IV, Matching method,Panel data,IV等计量问题进行了阐释;主要解决了random sample的问题,通过准试验等方法,或者CIA.所以这是作者的突出贡献,解决了self-selection and deal with endogenous problem
评分比如序的最后一句是: Finally , in the spirit of Douglas Adams‘s lighthearted serial (The Hitchhiker’s Guide to The Galaxy and Mostly Harmless, among others)from which we draw continued inspiration, our companion may have occasional inaccuracies , bu...

This little book reveals the secrets of reduced-form applied econometrics.
评分虽然说我也喜欢道格拉斯亚当斯,但是用这本书学计量的确不太适应。因为缺乏技术细节,在证明和推理方面看得一头雾水。教授还容易把各种角标写错,这种都基于experiment的角度,真的令人费解。
评分大概半个小时翻了一遍。对做empirics的学者而言是本不错的工具书。对做theory的学者而言,在理论过于抽象时可以拿来一读。如果飞机上过于无聊,这本书也适合作为消遣。总体而言,书确实是最近几年难得的好书。不过,相较于过去的那些经典,铺天盖地的正面评价实在有过誉之嫌。
评分写的有趣,但是事实是,哪尼玛有harmless的计量啊!!!!
评分觉得因果推断都是伪科学怎么办
