Delving into the Heart of Causal Inference

This comprehensive volume takes a deep dive into the foundational concepts of causal inference, providing a solid understanding of:

• Counterfactuals and Potential Outcomes: Grasp the fundamental principles of defining causal effects, encompassing the notion of alternative realities and non-observed outcomes.




• Graphical Models: Master the art of visualizing causal relationships using graphical representations, enabling you to untangle complex causal pathways and identify potential biases.




• Structural Equation Models: Gain proficiency in utilizing structural equation models to test and validate causal hypotheses, accounting for latent variables and measurement error.

Unveiling the Toolkit of Causal Inference Methods

Beyond the theoretical foundations, Fundamentals of Causal Inference equips you with a comprehensive arsenal of practical methods for establishing causal relationships:

• Instrumental Variables: Harness the power of instrumental variables to isolate the causal effect of interest, even in the presence of unobserved confounding.




• Regression Discontinuity Design: Leverage sharp discontinuities in treatment assignment to identify causal effects with precision, akin to a natural experiment.




• Difference-in-Differences: Utilize the power of before-and-after comparisons to estimate causal effects, controlling for time-invariant unobserved factors.




• Propensity Score Matching: Master the technique of matching treated and control units based on their propensity to receive treatment, reducing bias and enhancing causal inferences.

Real-World Applications and Case Studies

Fundamentals of Causal Inference goes beyond mere theory, showcasing the practical applications of causal inference across diverse fields:

• Healthcare: Unravel the causal effects of medical interventions, empowering evidence-based decision-making and improving patient outcomes.




• Economics: Analyze the causal impact of economic policies, informing policy design and resource allocation for sustainable growth.




• Education: Identify the causal effects of educational interventions, tailoring learning experiences to maximize student achievement.
