Estimating the Effect of Central Bank Independence on Inflation Using Longitudinal Targeted Maximum Likelihood Estimation

Recently, there has been a lot of interest and discussion about the use of causal inference in economics. Whether it is feasible and whether there are benefits of working with a directed acyclic graph (DAG) and a non-parametric structural equation framework, is one aspect of the debate.

The Effect of Electrical Load Shedding on Pediatric Hospital Admissions in South Africa

The Republic of South Africa (SA) faced repeated episodes of temporary power shutdowns in 2014/2015, but also in the years thereafter. Based on my co-author’s experience at the burns unit at Red Cross children’s hospital, we had the hypothesis that this may have caused an increase in pediatric hospital admissions.
