New framework merges game theory and causal inference for complex systems

This paper introduces Equilibrium Causal Games (ECGs), a framework that merges game theory with causal inference to analyze systems like power grids and markets. ECGs model hidden inputs, sensor maps, and intervention rules to understand how feedback-driven equilibria are observed. The research explores conditions for ECG-separation, the identification of latent states through interventions, and the challenges posed by unknown sensing mechanisms and non-Gaussian data. It demonstrates that while certain causal conclusions can be drawn from equilibrium data, targeted experiments are often necessary to fully disentangle sensing from interactions and identify underlying mechanisms.
