mediation: R Package for Causal Mediation Analysis
In this paper, we describe the R package mediation for conducting causal mediation analysis in applied empirical research. In many scientific disciplines, the goal of researchers is not only estimating causal effects of a treatment but also understanding the process in which the treatment causally affects the outcome. Causal mediation analysis is frequently used to assess potential causal mecha...
متن کاملIdentifying Mechanisms behind Policy Interventions via Causal Mediation Analysis
Causal analysis in program evaluation has primarily focused on the question about whether or not a program, or package of policies, has an impact on the targeted outcome of interest. However, it is often of scientific and practical importance to also explain why such impacts occur. In this paper, we introduce causal mediation analysis, a statistical framework for analyzing causal mechanisms tha...
متن کاملIdentifying Mechanisms behind Policy Interventions via Causal Mediation Analysis
Causal analysis in program evaluation has largely focused on the assessment of policy effectiveness. That is, researchers typically study whether a program has a causal effect on the outcome of interest. However, it is often of scientific and practical importance to also explain why such a causal relationship arises. In this paper, we introduce causal mediation analysis, a statistical framework...
متن کاملCausal Mediation Analysis
Estimating the mechanisms that connect explanatory variables with the explained variable, also known as “mediation analysis,” is central to a variety of social science fields, especially psychology, and increasingly fields like epidemiology. Recent work on the statistical methodology behind mediation analysis points to limitations in earlier methods. We implement in Stata computational approach...
متن کاملCausal Mediation Analysis Using R∗
Causal mediation analysis is widely used across many disciplines to investigate possible causal mechanisms. Such an analysis allows researchers to explore various causal pathways, going beyond the estimation of simple causal effects. Recently, Imai, Keele, and Yamamoto (2010c) and Imai, Keele, and Tingley (2010b) developed general algorithms to estimate causal mediation effects with the variety...
