Abstract | Simple cause-and-effect questions are the motivation for much research in the social, demographic, and health sciences, even though definitive answers to cause-and-effect questions may not always be possible to formulate given the constraints that researchers face in collecting data and evaluating alternative explanations. Even so, there is reason for optimism about our current and future abilities to effectively address cause-and-effect questions. Over the past four decades, a counterfactual model of causality has been developed and refined, and as a result a unified framework for the prosecution of causal questions is now available.
