Publisher Synopsis
"This book is the first representative of a growing surge of interest among social scientists and economists to reclaim their professions from the tyrany of regression analysis and address cause-effect relationships squarely and formally.

An indispensible reading for every forward-looking student of quantitative social science." -Judea Pearl University of California, Los Angeles "...Morgan and Winship have written an important, wide-ranging, careful, and original introduction to the modern literature on causal inference in nonexperimental social research."
