In econometrics / empirical social science:

- Mostly Harmless Econometrics by Joshua Angrist and Jorn Steffan Piscke

- Causal Inference for Statistics, Social, and Biomedical Sciences by Guido Imbens and Donald Rubin

- Data Analysis using Regression and Multilevel Models by Andrew Gelman and Jennifer Hill

You will benefit from reading Pearl/Glymour/Jewell: Causal Inference in Statistics. A Primer

(The contrast to Imbens and Rubin is crazy)

Thanks; been meaning to. I've not seen a good exposition of what benefit the DAG way of doing Causal Inference has over the Potential Outcomes Framework. Morgan and Winship (another good textbook) tries, but I didn't really buy it. I guess I have to hear it from the horse's mouth.
