Researchers have developed a new mathematical framework for Granger causality in extreme events, aiming to identify causal links specifically from time series data during volatile periods. This approach, termed "Granger causality in extremes," focuses on causal mechanisms that manifest during extreme events, unlike traditional methods that primarily examine causality within the main body of a distribution. The framework utilizes a causal tail coefficient and establishes equivalences with other causal concepts, offering a model-free inference method capable of handling non-linear and high-dimensional time series. It has demonstrated superior performance and speed compared to existing methods and has been applied to financial and extreme weather data to uncover coherent effects. AI
