dc.description.abstract | Causal inference in the empirical sciences is based on counterfactuals. This paper presentsthe counterfactual account of causation in terms of Lewis's possible-world semantics, andreformulates the statistical potential outcome framework and its underlying assumptionsusing counterfactual conditionals. I discuss varieties of causally meaningful counterfactualsfor the case of a finite number of treatments, and illustrate these using a simple settheoreticalframework. The paper proceeds to examine proximity relations between possibleworlds, and discusses implications for empirical practice. | en |
