<p>This long awaited successor of the original Cook/Campbell <i>Quasi-Experimentation: Design and Analysis Issues for Field Settings</i> represents updates in the field over the last two decades. The book covers four major topics in field experimentation:</p><ul><li>Theoretical matters: Experimentation, causation, and validity<li>Quasi-experimental design: Regression discontinuity designs, interrupted time series designs, quasi-experimental designs that use both pretests and control groups, and other designs<li>Randomized experiments: Logic and design issues, and practical problems involving ethics, recruitment, assignment, treatment implementation, and attrition<li>Generalized causal inference: A grounded theory of generalized causal inference, along with methods for implementing that theory in single and multiple studies</ul>
