Abstract

This chapter illustrates the regression control technique for causal inference, through an empirical case study of building codes and household energy consumption. It describes and defines key concepts, like logged variables and fixed effects, so that the beginning reader can both understand and use the regression control technique. This chapter also describes the research process, and the path a researcher can take from replicating a study, to extending it and doing original research based on the study. Questions for Review at the end of the chapter walk the reader through this process, from downloading data and replicating a published research study, to modifying the computer code and creating new knowledge.
