On page 246, in sub-section Instrumental Variable Approach, in the line:

‘However, the claim of causality rests on using an ‘instrument’ that is randomly assigned (or is ‘as-if’ random) and is correlated with the treatment variable while being independent of the outcome.’, the word ‘outcome’ should be read as ‘error term’.

The error is deeply regretted.
