Abstract We examine how structural systems can yield observed variables instrumental in
identifying and estimating causal effects. We provide an exhaustive characterization of
potentially identifying conditional exogeneity relationships and demonstrate how structural ...

Abstract This paper unifies three complementary approaches to defining, identifying, and
estimating causal effects: the classical structural equations approach of the Cowles

Abstract We study the interrelations between (conditional) independence and causal rela $
tions in settable systems. We provide definitions in terms of functional dependence for direct,
indirect, and total causality as well as for (indirect) causality via and ex# clusive of a set of ...

Abstract This paper demonstrates the extensive scope of an alternative to standard
instrumental variables methods, namely covariate&based methods, for identifying and es&
timating effects of interest in general structural systems. As we show, commonly used ...

Abstract We study nonparametric estimators of derivative ratio $ based average marginal
effects of an endogenous cause, X, on a response of interest, Y, for a system of recursive
structural equations. The system need not exhibit linearity, separability, or monotonicity. ...

Abstract: We study the structural identification of causal effects with conditioning instruments
within the settable system framework. In particular, we provide causal and predictive
conditions sufficient for conditional exogeneity to hold. We provide two procedures based ...

We study the scope of local indirect least squares (LILS) methods for nonparametrically
estimating average marginal effects of an endogenous cause X on a response Y in
triangular structural systems that need not exhibit linearity, separability, or monotonicity in ...

We give two new approaches to testing conditional exogeneity. This condition ensures
unconfoundedness and identification of structural effects. Our approaches permit the
presence of treatment effects under the null, thereby complementing methods of ...
Abstract We study the connections between causal relations and conditional independence
within the settable systems extension of the Pearl Causal Model. Our analysis clearly
distinguishes between causal notions and probabilistic notions and does not formally rely ...

Abstract We provide necessary and suffi cient conditions for effect identification, thereby
charac $ terizing the limits to identification. Our results link the non $ structural potential

Abstract The causal notions embodied in the concept of Granger causality have been
argued to belong to a different category than those of Judea Pearl's Causal Model, and so
far their relation has remained obscure. Here, we demonstrate that these concepts are in ...

Abstract The method of indirect least squares (ILS) using a proxy for a discrete instrument is
shown to identify a weighted average of local treatment effects. The weights are nonnegative
if and only if the proxy is intensity preserving for the instrument. A similar result holds for ...
Abstract We study the consequences of using mismeasured instruments on the interpreta#
tion of the Wald and Instrumental Variables (IV) estimands in ordered discrete choice
structural systems with heterogeneity. We provide a notion for a proxy vector W for an ...
Abstract This paper obtains identification of structural coeffi cients in linear recursive sys $
tems of structural equations without requiring that observable variables are exogenous or
conditionally exogenous. In particular, standard instrumental variables and con $ trol ...
