External Validity: From Do-Calculus to Transportability Across Populations (2014, background): “While the results of this paper concern the transfer of causal information from experimental to observational studies, the method can also benefit in transporting statistical findings from one observational study to another (Pearl and Bareinboim (2011)). The rationale for such transfer is two fold. ”
Interpretation and identification of causal mediation. (2014, unknown): “The choice of the appropriate effect type in policy making is discussed in Pearl (2001, 2011), Robins and Richardson (2011), and VanderWeele (2009) and are illustrated in the Illustrations section, below.”

EIGHT MYTHS ABOUT CAUSALITY AND STRUCTURAL EQUATION MODELS (2013, unknown): “19 by Berk et al. this volume) – which is none other but the SEM’s interpretation of structural equations (Haavelmo 1943; Blau and Duncan 1967; Pearl 2011c).”
Partial Identification of Local Average Treatment Effects With an Invalid Instrument (2013, background): “For further discussion on these topics see, for example, Frangakis and Rubin (2002), Rubin (2004), Mattei and Mealli (2011), Pearl (2011), and Mealli and Mattei (2012).”
On Instrumental Variables Estimation of Causal Odds Ratios (2011, background): “…and/or exposure is often employed in view of this, it not only implies a loss of information, but may also induce a violation of the exclusion restriction and may make the relevance of the principal stratum “X(1) > X(0)” become dubious (see Pearl, 2011, for further discussion of these issues).”
Instrumental Variables: An Econometrician's Perspective (2014, unknown): “However, most authors in this category do not state explicitly whether their focus on a specific stratum is motivated by mathematical convenience, mathematical necessity (to achieve identification) or a genuine interest in the stratum under analysis” (Pearl, 2011, page 3).”
Some Thoughts Concerning Transfer Learning, with Applications to Meta-analysis and Data-sharing Estimation (2012, background): “Hahn and Pearl (2011) show that the superiority of composite estimators persists in non-parametric models, for example, taking X, Y, and Z to be binary variables in the model of Fig.”
