Causal Exaggeration: Unconfounded but Inflated Causal Estimates


Hi and welcome!

This website gathers code and additional material for the paper Causal Exaggeration: Unconfounded but Inflated Causal Estimates.

In this paper I show that the use of causal identification strategies induces a trade-off between two biases: avoiding confounding and exaggerating true effect sizes due to a loss in statistical power.
