Causality and the effective range expansion [PDF]
We derive the generalization of Wigner's causality bounds and Bethe's integral formula for the effective range parameter to arbitrary dimension and arbitrary angular momentum. We also discuss the impact of these constraints on the separation of low- and high-momentum scales and universality in low-energy scattering.

The Causal Effects of Place on Health and Longevity [PDF]
Life expectancy varies substantially across local regions within a country, raising conjectures that place of residence affects health. However, population sorting and other confounders make it difficult to disentangle the effects of place on health from other geographic differences in life expectancy.

Local Causal Discovery for Estimating Causal Effects
Even when the causal graph underlying our data is unknown, we can use observational data to narrow down the possible values that an average treatment effect (ATE) can take by (1) identifying the graph up to a Markov equivalence class; and (2) estimating that ATE for each graph in the class.

Learning Heterogeneity in Causal Inference Using Sufficient Dimension Reduction
Often the research interest in causal inference is on the regression causal effect, which is the mean difference in the potential outcomes conditional on the covariates. In this paper, we use sufficient dimension reduction to estimate a lower dimensional

On the Causal Effect of Badges [PDF]
A wide variety of online platforms use digital badges to encourage users to take certain types of desirable actions. However, despite their growing popularity, their causal effect on usersĀ» behavior is not well understood. This is partly due to the lack of counterfactual data and the myriad of complex factors that influence usersĀ» behavior over time ...
