Innovative strategies for the empirical study of causal effects for social scientists
Causality in a Social World introduces a series of weighting methods, often nonparametric in nature, for addressing a wide range of causal questions while minimizing the reliance on model-based assumptions. Rather than fitting research questions to existing statistical tools regardless of their constraining assumptions, this book offers numerous application examples in which causal inquiry is driven by scientific and practical interests.
