CRC Press 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!).

I am half-way through this book (will update this review once I complete it). So far I have been very impressed with Nick's writing style. New concepts are introduced in an incredibly accessible manner, it makes them feel intuitive and natural. A large part of this (I think) is because he avoids excessive jargon and heavy reliance on mathematical proofs without first explaining the concepts behind the formulae. I have also been impressed with the sheer amount of humour packed into this textbook - it really helps to lighten what can typically be a heavy topic. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with the world, Nick!

I am using this book regularly now in classrooms. It has a really easy-to-comprehend text, great examples, and code in multiple languages. Highly recommended for all levels!

Useful for any level of students in Economics, Statistics, Data science,etc. You have recent causal inference explanation in a easy manger for reader. This is the best introductory causal inference book to date in my point of view. I prefer buy the book over the free website and I like it. The white space in the book allow to take notes during reading.

Received a genuine copy with glossy pages. Happy with the delivery and product quality. Good job by the seller and amazon.
