Mostly Harmless Econometrics (ANGRIST - PISCHKE)

“This pathbreaking book is a must-read for any scientist who is interested in formulating and testing hypotheses about the social world. This includes political scientists, sociologists, historians, geographers, and anthropologists. The book is clever and funny, and guides you through the tangle of problems that confront empirical research in social science. I wish I had had it years ago.” —James Robinson, Harvard University

“Interesting and unusual, this is an econometrics book with attitude. It offers real answers and suggestions to problems faced daily by those engaged in the analysis of economic data. I will recommend it to my students.” —Guido Imbens, Harvard University

“A well-written and very quirky take on econometric practice.” —Orley Ashenfelter, Princeton University
