So happy to finally see the paper in print 🎉
Hündermund & Bareinboim argue that modern econometrics should embrace algorithmic causal inference procedures from the literature following Judea Pearl's lead, by presenting 3 possible applications in economics: counfounding, sample selection, & transporting causal knowledge doi.org/10.1093/ectj...

Once again proving that in the current US health care system, decisions are made between you and your doctor with no interference from anyone else. /s
Blue Cross Blue Shield in Connecticut, New York and Missouri has declared it will no longer pay for anesthesia for the full length of some surgeries.

Ah, I found what I was looking for! From Imai et al.'s "Unpacking the Black Box of Causality" (2011). This is coming from the angle of two experiments in which you identify A -> B and B -> C and why you cannot infer the average causal mediation effect from that.

Absolutely. And not just Americans - the broad international data provision is also exceptional. And the blog posts are fun, and the replication exercise can be very insightful. And the visualization options are great. And I don't have to create an account but I can if I want to. The list goes on.

A discussion elsewhere got me thinking: “Criminologists, how many of you have had a gun pointed at you?”
If so, has it influenced your work?

Preventing & solving violent crime is a moral imperative.
And, as I mentioned today, it should be a scandal that we know how many hogs slaughtered in the U.S. over the past week (1,950,000) but can’t say how many crimes occurred or were solved, or how many lethal use of force incidents occurred.
