Matching, Regression Discontinuity, Difference in Differences, and Beyond cover

This book reviews the three most popular methods (and their extensions) in applied economics and other social sciences: matching, regression discontinuity, and difference in differences. The book introduces the underlying econometric/statistical ideas, shows what is identified and how the identified parameters are estimated, and then illustrates how they are applied with real empirical examples. The book emphasizes how to implement the three methods with data: many data and programs are provided in the online appendix. All readers---theoretical econometricians/statisticians, applied economists/social-scientists and researchers/students---will find something useful in the book from different perspectives.

The book under review gives an up-to-date and concise treatment of the three most recent and widely applied empirical methods to deal with confoundedness in microeconometrics, i.e., matching, regression discontinuity and difference in differences. This book gives a timely update on the author's previous book Microeconometrics for Policy, Program, and Treatment Effects with a particular concentration on these three most in fluential methodologies. This book serves as an excellent reference for both graduate students and researchers working in the field of microeconometrics. * Zhongwen Liang, Mathematical Reviews Clippings *
