Ex‐Ante Assessment of Farm Resilience to Institutional Shocks: A Modeling Approach

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Using the agent‐based model SWISSland, we simulate farm‐level responses and interactions under two institutional shocks: tariff reductions and direct payment reductions. Using a framework we developed, we assess resilience capacities, resilience attributes, and the provision of private and public goods, following the shock.

Sufficient Causes: On Oxygen, Matches, and Fires

Journal of Causal Inference, 2019
We demonstrate how counterfactuals can be used to compute the probability that one event was/is a sufficient cause of another, and how counterfactuals emerge organically from basic scientific knowledge, rather than manipulative experiments.

COUNTERFACTUALS AND PROPOSITIONAL CONTINGENTISM [PDF]

The Review of Symbolic Logic, 2017
AbstractThis article explores the connection between two theses: the principle of conditional excluded middle for the counterfactual conditional, and the claim that it is a contingent matter which (coarse grained) propositions there are. Both theses enjoy wide support, and have been defended at length by Robert Stalnaker.

Conditional Generative Adversarial Networks for Individualized Treatment Effect Estimation and Treatment Selection

Frontiers in Genetics, 2020
Treatment response is heterogeneous. However, the classical methods treat the treatment response as homogeneous and estimate the average treatment effects. The traditional methods are difficult to apply to precision oncology. Artificial intelligence (AI)

How to make beta better [PDF]

In this paper, I appeal to a quantified counterfactual logic in order to argue that van Inwagen's new version of the Consequence Argument, unlike the original version of his argument, is logically valid.

Some Notes on Counterfactuals in Quantum Mechanics

Entropy, 2020
Counterfactuals, i.e., events that could have occurred but eventually did not, play a unique role in quantum mechanics in that they exert causal effects despite their non-occurrence.
