"...an excellent reference for both graduate students and researchers working in the field of microeconometrics." -- MathSciNet

"Lee has done it again with a highly accessible and thorough applied econometrics book. Empirical researchers and graduate students alike will benefit from his clear explanations of the most widely used methods to analyze treatment effects, including difference in differences, matching, and regression discontinuity. This book will be required reading for my graduate-level applied statistics class." -- Gordon B. Dahl, Professor of Economics, University of California, San Diego

"This book provides a nice concise summary of econometric methods for causal analyses that are rapidly growing in popularity. The material is presented in a straightforward style that will appeal to applied readers who just want to know what each estimator is, and what it does." -- Arthur Lewbel, Department of Economics, Boston College
