Causal Inference by Paul R. Rosenbaum is a short, concept-focused introduction to the logic and practice of drawing causal conclusions from data. Published in the MIT Press Essential Knowledge series, it is positioned as a compact primer rather than a technical textbook, which makes its purpose unusually clear: to explain what causal inference is, why it matters, and where it becomes difficult in real research. Rosenbaum draws examples from medicine, epidemiology, economics, business, the social sciences, and public policy to show that causal questions appear across many disciplines, even when the methods differ. The book reflects the author’s long-standing work on observational studies, sensitivity analysis, design sensitivity, quasi-experimental devices, and the propensity score. Its central concern is the challenge of separating true treatment effects from bias in treatment assignment, especially when experiments are not available. As a result, the book serves both as an entry point for newcomers and as a concise conceptual guide for readers who want a disciplined overview of modern causal thinking.
