Book Description
This book provides a contemporary treatment of quantitative economics, with a focus on data science. The book introduces the reader to R and RStudio, and uses expert Hadley Wickham’s tidyverse package for different parts of the data analysis workflow. After a gentle introduction to R code, the reader’s R skills are gradually honed, with the help of “your turn” exercises. At the heart of data science is data, and the book equips the reader to import and wrangle data, (including network data). Very early on, the reader will begin using the popular ggplot2 package for visualizing data, even making basic maps. The use of R in understanding functions, simulating difference equations, and carrying out matrix operations is also covered. The book uses Monte Carlo simulation to understand probability and statistical inference, and the bootstrap is introduced. Causal inference is illuminated using simulation, data graphs, and R code for applications with real economic examples, covering experiments, matching, regression discontinuity, difference-in-difference, and instrumental variables. The interplay of growth related data and models is presented, before the book introduces the reader to time series data analysis with graphs, simulation, and examples. Lastly, two computationally intensive methods—generalized additive models and random forests (an important and versatile machine learning method)—are introduced intuitively with applications. The book will be of great interest to economists—students, teachers, and researchers alike—who want to learn R. It will help economics students gain an intuitive appreciation of applied economics and enjoy engaging with the material actively, while also equipping them with key data science skills.

Book Description
'I wish Professor Rao and his collaborators every success in ensuring that future generations of students do not have to put up with logically incoherent foundations to their understanding of modern economic systems' - G.C. Harcourt, Jesus College, Cambridge There is now an increasing realisation that the popular textbook macroeconomic model of aggregate demand and supply is logically incorrect. While there is a broad agreement among the critiques on these logical flaws there has been no such agreement on how the basic textbook macromodel should be modified. The essays in this volume contain very promising alternative models which will significantly influence the way macroeconomics will be taught in the future.
