Causal Analysis with Event History Data Using Stata

It is an invaluable resource for both novice and experienced researchers from sociology, economics, political science, education, psychology, demography, epidemiology, management research and organizational studies, as well as medicine and clinical applications) who need an introductory text- book on continuous-time event history analysis.

This third edition of Causal Analysis with Event History Data Using Stata provides an updated introduction to event history modeling along with many instructive Stata examples. Using the latest Stata software, each of these practical examples develops a research question, points to useful contextual background information, gives a brief account of the underlying statistical concepts, describes the organization of input data and the application of Stata statistical procedures, and assists the reader in interpreting the content of the results obtained.

Emphasizing the strengths and limitations of continuous-time event history analysis in different fields of social science applications, this book demonstrates that event history models provide a useful approach to uncover causal relation- ships or to map a system of causal relationships. In particular, this book demonstrates how long-term processes can be studied, how different forms of duration dependencies can be estimated using nonparametric, parametric and semiparametric models, and how parallel and interdependent dynamic systems can be analyzed from a causal-analytical point of view using the method of episode splitting. The book also shows how changing contextual information at the micro, meso and macro levels can be easily integrated into a dynamic analysis of longitudinal data. Finally, the book addresses the problem of unobserved heterogeneity of time-constant and time-dependent omitted variables and makes suggestions for dealing with these sometimes difficult methodological problems.

Causal Analysis with Event History Data Using Stata is an invaluable resource for both novice and experienced researchers from a variety of fields (e.g. sociology, economics, political science, education, psychology, demography, epidemiology, management research and organizational studies, as well as medicine and clinical applications) who need an introductory textbook on continuous-time event history analysis and who are looking for a practical handbook for their longitudinal research.
