Though now about R, a good book to read for analyzing non-experimental data (and
even experimental data) is "Identification Problems in the Social Sciences" by
Charles Manski. It is a small, clearly written book, with examples. Providing a
reasonable answer (including caveats) to the kind of typical problem you
described in your initial post will benefit from this. You should atleast
consider this an important supplement. See the link below. Anupam.
