Mostly harmless econometrics / Joshua David Angrist / Princeton : Princeton University Press (2009)

Public ISBD Titre : Mostly harmless econometrics : an empiricist's companion Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Joshua David Angrist ; JLorn-Steffen Pischke Editeur : Princeton : Princeton University Press Année de publication : 2009 Importance : xiii, 373 p. Présentation : ill. Format : 22 cm ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-691-12034-8 Langues : Anglais (eng) Catégories : Économétrie Mathématiques Index. décimale : 330.015 Mathématiques économiques - Econométrie Résumé : The core methods in today's econometric toolkit are linear regression for statistical control, instrumental variables methods for the analysis of natural experiments, and differences-in-differences methods that exploit policy changes. In the modern experimentalist paradigm, these techniques address clear causal questions such as: Do smaller classes increase learning? Should wife batterers be arrested? How much does education raise wages? Mostly Harmless Econometrics shows how the basic tools of applied econometrics allow the data to speak. In addition to econometric essentials, Mostly Harmless Econometrics covers important new extensions--regression-discontinuity designs and quantile regression--as well as how to get standard errors right. Joshua Angrist and Jörn-Steffen Pischke explain why fancier econometric techniques are typically unnecessary and even dangerous. The applied econometric methods emphasized in this book are easy to use and relevant for many areas of contemporary social science. An irreverent review of econometric essentials A focus on tools that applied researchers use most Chapters on regression-discontinuity designs, quantile regression, and standard errors Many empirical examples A clear and concise resource with wide applications Mostly harmless econometrics : an empiricist's companion [texte imprimé] / Joshua David Angrist ; JLorn-Steffen Pischke . - Princeton : Princeton University Press, 2009 . - xiii, 373 p. : ill. ; 22 cm.

ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-691-17877-6 Langues : Anglais (eng) Catégories : Elevage Equidés Histoire Index. décimale : 591.5 Comportement animal Résumé : "There are countless books about keeping and riding horses. The Horse is different: it looks not only at the natural history of the horse in the context of its use by humans, but also at its own, independent story, describing the way horses live, think, and behave both alongside people and on their own. Beautifully designed and illustrated, The Horse provides an engaging and accessible introduction to these beloved animals. Beginning with evolution and development, The Horse tells how horses came into being more than fifty million years ago and were first domesticated more than five thousand years ago, eventually spreading across the globe. Chapters on Anatomy & Biology and Society & Behavior explain equine anatomy and how it has affected the lives and social structure of horses, and outline current scientific thinking on their behavior as individual and herd animals, including information on communication between horses. A chapter on Horses & People provides a thorough overview of the horse’s many important roles in human history and today, from pack animal to sporting champion. Finally, the book ends with an engrossing and visually stunning photographic gallery of some fifty popular breeds of horses and ponies with essential information about each. Filled with surprising facts and insights, this book will delight anyone who loves horses and wants to understand them better. Provides a comprehensive, richly illustrated introduction to the evolution, development, domestication, and behavior of the horse—from life cycle, breeding, coats and colors, and the senses to courtship, parenting, communication, emotions, and learning Tells the full story of horses, from their earliest fossil ancestors to the modern-day Equus Offers a detailed survey of how horses and humans have interacted since horses were domesticated, including their use for work and war in the past and recreational and competitive riding today Features infographics, diagrams, and more than 250 stunning color photographs Includes a beautiful photographic directory to some 50 popular breeds" The horse : A natural history [texte imprimé] / Debbie Busby, Auteur ; Catrin Rutland, Auteur . - Princeton : Princeton University Press, 2019 . - 223 p. couv. ill. en coul.

The Lives of Bees / Thomas D.Seeley / Princeton : Princeton University Press (2019)

Public ISBD Titre : The Lives of Bees : the untold story of the Honey Bee in the Wild Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Thomas D.Seeley, Auteur Editeur : Princeton : Princeton University Press Année de publication : 2019 Importance : 353p. couv. ill. en coul. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-691-16676-6 Prix : 38,00 £ Langues : Français (fre) Catégories : Biologie Environnement naturel Insecte Index. décimale : 595.7 Insectes Résumé : decades have biologists begun to investigate how these industrious insects live in the wild. The Lives of Bees is Thomas Seeley’s captivating story of what scientists are learning about the behavior, social life, and survival strategies of honey bees living outside the beekeeper’s hive—and how wild honey bees may hold the key to reversing the alarming die-off of the planet’s managed honey bee populations. Seeley, a world authority on honey bees, sheds light on why wild honey bees are still thriving while those living in managed colonies are in crisis. Drawing on the latest science as well as insights from his own pioneering fieldwork, he describes in extraordinary detail how honey bees live in nature and shows how this differs significantly from their lives under the management of beekeepers. Seeley presents an entirely new approach to beekeeping—Darwinian Beekeeping—which enables honey bees to use the toolkit of survival skills their species has acquired over the past thirty million years, and to evolve solutions to the new challenges they face today. He shows beekeepers how to use the principles of natural selection to guide their practices, and he offers a new vision of how beekeeping can better align with the natural habits of honey bees. Engagingly written and deeply personal, The Lives of Bees reveals how we can become better custodians of honey bees and make use of their resources in ways that enrich their lives as well as our own.
