New Publication: Causal definitions vs. casual estimation: A reply to Valente, Rijnhart, and Miocevic. Brandt, H. (in press)

Using empirical data and simulated data, it can be shown that methods using assumptions about unobserved confounders will produce statistical artifacts in virtually all empirical settings.
