Suppose we wish to estimate the effect of attending an elite college on future earnings. Simply regressing earnings on college rating will not give an unbiased estimate of the target effect because elite colleges are highly selective, and students attending them are likely to have qualifications for

Figure 1 is a causal graph that represents this model specification. Each variable in the model has a corresponding node or vertex in the graph. Additionally, for each equation, arrows are drawn from the independent variables to the dependent variables. These arrows reflect the direction of

As inference tools, the graphs enable researchers to estimate effect sizes from non-experimental data, derive 1441: 1045: 165: 137:, which allows researchers to determine, by inspection, whether the causal structure implies that two sets of variables are independent given a third set.

Causal graphs can be used for communication and for inference. They are complementary to other forms of causal reasoning, for instance using

Causal models often include "error terms" or "omitted factors" which represent all unmeasured factors that influence a variable
