Financial Dependence and Growth
- American Economic Review
, 1998
"... This paper examines whether nancial development facilitates economic growth by scrutinizing one rationale for such a relationship; that nancial development reduces the costs of external nance to rms. Speci cally, we ask whether industrial sectors that are relatively more in need of external nance de ..."

develop disproportionately faster in countries with more developed nancial markets. We nd this to be true in a large sample of countries over the 1980s. We show this result is unlikely to be driven by omitted variables, outliers, or reverse causality. (JEL O4, F3, G1) A large literature, dating at least
Model selection and accounting for model uncertainty in graphical models using Occam's window
, 1993
"... We consider the problem of model selection and accounting for model uncertainty in high-dimensional contingency tables, motivated by expert system applications. The approach most used currently is a stepwise strategy guided by tests based on approximate asymptotic P-values leading to the selection o ..."

computing the posterior model probabilities is hard and the number of models is very large (often greater than 1011). We argue that the standard Bayesian formalism is unsatisfactory and we propose an alternative Bayesian approach that, we contend, takes full account of the true model uncertainty byaveraging
Causality Versus True-Concurrency
"... Category theory has been successfully employed to structure the confusing setup of models and equivalences for concurrency: Winskel and Nielsen have related the standard models via adjunctions and (co)reflections while Joyal et al. have defined an abstract notion of equivalence, known as open map bi ..."

bisimilarity. One model has not been integrated into this framework: the causal trees of Darondeau and Degano. Here we fill this gap. In particular, we show that there is an adjunction from causal trees to event structures, which we bring to light via a mediating model, that of event trees. Further, we achieve

Causal discovery from a mixture of experimental and observational data
- In UAI
, 1999
"... This paper describes a Bayesian method for combining an arbitrary mixture of observational and experimental data in order to learn causal Bayesian networks. Observational data are passively observed. Experimental data, such as that produced by randomized controlled trials, result from the experiment ..."

that are not confounded. The paper reports how these structure predictions and parameter estimates compare with the true causal structures and parameters as given by the ALARM network. 1
Shortcomings/limitations of Blockwise Granger Causality and Advances of Blockwise New Causality
"... Abstract — Multivariate blockwise Granger causality (BGC) is used to reflect causal interactions among blocks of multivariate time series. Especially, spectral BGC and conditional spectral BGC are used to disclose blockwise causal flow among different brain areas in various frequencies. In this pape ..."

. In this paper, we demonstrate that (i) BGC in time domain may not necessarily disclose true causality. (ii) Due to the use of the transfer function or its inverse matrix and partial information of the multivariate linear regression model, both of spectral BGC and conditional spectral BGC have shortcomings and
The attribution of attitudes
- J. Exp. Soc. Psychol

"... Three experiments were conducted within the framework of correspondent inference theory. In each of the experiments the subjects were instructed to estimate the "trueJ ' attitude of a target person after having either read or listened to a speech by him expressing opinions on a controversi ..."

- In: Proceedings of TIME2002. (2002) 52–54
, 2002

We present a method for formalising the behaviour of simple deterministic devices and protocols in a way that makes explicit the causal dependencies amongst the component elements, thereby allowing true causal (as opposed to purely temporal) reasoning. Our intention is to handle such systems effecti ..."

Nonlinear causal discovery with additive noise models
"... The discovery of causal relationships between a set of observed variables is a fundamental problem in science. For continuous-valued data linear acyclic causal models with additive noise are often used because these models are well understood and there are well-known methods to fit them to data. In ..."

, nonlinearities in the data-generating process are in fact a blessing rather than a curse, as they typically provide information on the underlying causal system and allow more aspects of the true data-generating mechanisms to be identified. In addition to theoretical results we show simulations and some simple
