Experimental and Quasi Experimental Designs for Generalized Causal Inference by William R. Shadish, Donald T. Campbell, Thomas D. Cook

From the Publisher

This long awaited successor of the original Cook/Campbell Quasi-Experimentation: Design and Analysis Issues for Field Settings represents updates in the field over the last two decades. The book covers four major topics in field experimentation:

• Theoretical matters: Experimentation, causation, and validity
• Quasi-experimental design: Regression discontinuity designs, interrupted time series designs, quasi-experimental designs that use both pretests and control groups, and other designs
• Randomized experiments: Logic and design issues, and practical problems involving ethics, recruitment, assignment, treatment implementation, and attrition
• Generalized causal inference: A grounded theory of generalized causal inference, along with methods for implementing that theory in single and multiple studies
