Causality in economics, computer science, logic, and language
Reasoning about causal relationships is an important topic across the sciences. Last year's Nobel Prize in Economics was awarded to Guido Imbens, foreign member of the KNAW. Together with Joshua Angrist, he received the prize for their central role in shaping how researchers understand and analyse causal relationships, using natural experiments. These are situations arising in real life that resemble randomised experiments, e.g. arising from natural random variations, institutional rules or policy changes.
