• Democracy and Human Development (2012, background): “This represents a difficult conceptual and empirical challenge, as plausible causal mechanisms are diverse, overlapping, and in most instances resistant to operationalization (Gerring 2011).”
• Causality Between Energy and Output in the Long-Run (2013, unknown): “If the p parameters β1,p + 1 to β1,2p are jointly significant, then we can reject the null hypothesis that x does not Granger cause y. Similarly, if the p parameters β2,1 to β2,p are jointly significant then the null hypothesis that y does not Granger cause x can be rejected. There are several other”
