The Philosophy of Causality in Economics (eBook, ePUB)

Causal Inferences and Policy Proposals

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

What do economists mean when they conclude that A 'causes' B? Does 'cause' say that we can influence B by intervening on A, or is it only a label for the correlation of variables? This book analyses the meaning of causal claims made by economists and the philosophical presuppositions underlying the research methods used.
