Mostly Harmless Econometrics

"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

"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, anthropologists... The book is clever, funny, and guides you through the tangle of problems which confront empirical research in social science. I wish I had had it years ago."

--James Robinson, Harvard University

"Finally - An econometrics book for practitioners! Not only for students, MHE is a fantastic resource for anyone who does empirical work."

--Sandra Black, UCLA
