New arXiv Paper Reveals Two Layers of Instability in Causal Estimation

A new paper published on arXiv details two layers of instability inherent in causal estimation from observational data. The research, building on prior work, highlights that causal effects can be discontinuous with respect to data distribution changes. It further identifies a second layer of instability related to the choice of estimation method, suggesting that estimators can exhibit discontinuous jumps based on the data distribution. The paper proposes a taxonomy of estimators, indicating that stability is linked to how well an estimator's implicit loss function aligns with the causal effect itself. AI
