‘Metrics, that is, the field of applied econometrics, encompasses the statistical methods economists use to untangle cause and effect in human affairs. Through accessible discussion and with a dose of kung fu–themed humor, Mastering ’Metrics presents the essential tools of econometric research and demonstrates why econometrics is exciting and useful.
The ‘metrics tools in Mastering ‘Metrics are explained by Joshua D. Angrist (Master Joshway), the Ford Professor of Economics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and Jörn-Steffen Pischke (Master Stevefu), Professor of Economics at the London School of Economics and Political Science.
