Counterfactual reasoning and learning systems: the example of computational advertising (2012, background): “Manipulability theories of causation (von Wright, 1971; Woodward, 2005) raise this commonsense insight to the status of a definition of the causal relation.”
Causal reasoning with forces (2015, background): “Each arc is associated with a set of conditional probabilities in conjunction with assumptions about the effect of actual or hypothetical interventions (Woodward, 2003, 2007; Sloman, 2005; Schulz et al., 2007).”
Parsimony and Causality (2015, background): “Prototypical examples of the first type are Suppes (1970), Lewis (1973), Mackie (1974), or more recently Woodward (2003); 3 There also exist non-causal applications of QCA.”
Interventions and Causal Inference (2007, background): “Similarly, the 1 The first author is supported by the Causal Learning Collaborative Initiative supported by the James S. McDonnell Foundation.”
The Pomp of Superfluous Causes: The Interpretation of Evolutionary Theory* (2007, background): “These authors claim that, according to the interventionist criterion for individuating causes (Woodward 2003), these statistical parameters ought to count as causes.”
A Conservation of Resources Perspective on Negative Affect and Innovative Work Behaviour: the Role of Affect Activation and Mindfulness (2016, unknown): “Choices that directly emanate from the self in turn instil a higher sense of volition that encourages people to set and strive for the accomplishment of change-oriented outcomes (Frese and Fay 2001; Parker et al. 2010).”
Evolutionary Theory and the Reality of Macro-Probabilities (2010, background): “For example, detailed counterfactuals that describe what would happen if you were to intervene in a causal system can be objectively true (Woodward 2003).”
Constitutive Relevance, Mutual Manipulability, and Fat-Handedness (2016, background): “some value i such that I = i causes X to take some value x (Woodward [2003], p.”
A Regularity Theoretic Approach to Actual Causation (2013, background): “Many of these theories operate within a broadly counterfactual framework that draws on structural equations (cf. e.g. Hitchcock 2001; 2007; Woodward 2003; Halpern and Pearl 2005; Halpern 2008; Halpern and Hitchcock 2010).”
When mechanistic models explain (2006, background): “The ability to control a system is a mark of understanding how that system works: one with that ability will be able to answer a range of questions about how the system would behave if it were to be altered in any number of ways or placed in any number of conditions (see Woodward, 2003).”
On Pearl’s Hierarchy and the Foundations of Causal Inference (2022, background): “For a discussion of what it means for these changes to arise “from outside” the system, see, for example, Woodward [2003].”
Causal Selection and the Pathway Concept (2018, background): “While clarifying this relationship is not cruor my argument in this article, I follow Woodward in viewing both as well underwithin a basic interventionist framework, where type-level explanations often act from the particularities included in token-level explanations (Woodward 2003, 7).”
Some varieties of robustness (2006, background): “14 This is a commonplace in the econometrics literature, see, e.g., Hoover (1988) and Woodward (2003).”
