This work gives an account of event history modelling techniques and their use in applied research in economics and the social sciences. It shows that event history modelling is a major step forward in casual analysis, and introduces the reader to the program Transition Data Analysis (TDA).
The book is for social scientists interested in causal analysis. This can include psychologists, economists, sociologists, education academics.
"Techniques of Event History Modeling fully attains both goals, showing the usefulness of event history modeling as a new approach to causal modeling and being an introduction to the program TDA. The book deserves the attention of researchers from the field of OB, although - or better: because - it offers a somewhat different perspective on social processes."
