The increasingly popular S and O notation in causal-loop diagrams has a serious flaw, which suggests it should be purged from educational, consulting, and publication practice. The flaw traces to the inability of the notation to capture correctly the influences of flows into and out of stocks, which

Scalar two-loop diagrams are calculated analytically in massive cases needed for the computation of boson and fermion propagators in QED and QCD by the causal method of Epstein and Glaser. It is demonstrated that this method, which is the basis for the so-called dispersive methods, provides many adv
Estimating causal effects from incomplete data requires additional and inherently untestable assumptions regarding the mechanism giving rise to the missing data. We show that using causal diagrams to represent these additional assumptions both complements and clarifies some of the central issues in
