Book Title: Moneyball: The Art of Winning an Unfair Game
Author: Michael Lewis
Selection Statement:
Most of my academic life has involved making sense of large amounts of data to generate causal inferences about the ways in which investors behave in markets. My passion for using data to answer questions drew significant inspiration from Moneyball by Michael Lewis. His storytelling about the intersection of baseball—one of my personal passions—and statistical analysis was a major catalyst for my pursuit of a Ph.D. and a research career.
