The Science and Art of Causality [part 1]
Let's go together on a journey towards answering one of the most valuable question you should ask yourself: How to assess causality?
Every choice you make or decision taken is usually the results of suspected causal relationships. For example:
Individual choices:
If I go vegan, I'll reduce my ecological footprint.
If I drink this tequila shot, I'll dance better.
Companies:
Home-office reduces productivity
Spamming users with YouTube Premium Ads will increase the number of subscribers. % fines if parents take children late from nursery
Policy makers:
Replacing nuclear power plants with renewables will help to reach the Paris Agreement.
Lockdowns will reduce the spread of the covid-19
However, there are no test to prove that your effect is causal. Despite this challenge, we can actually do a lot to find evidence, eventually leading to the proof of a causal effect. Let's see together what can we do.
