| contents | In applications, quantities of interest are often modelled in equilibrium or an equilibrium solution is sought. The presence of confounding makes causal inference in this setting challenging. We provide interpretable graphical models for equilibrium systems with confounding using anterial graphs (Lauritzen and Sadeghi, 2018), a class of graphs containing directed acyclic graphs, ancestral graphs, and chain graphs. In this setting, we provide valid graphical representations of both counterfactual variables and observational variables, which we relate to counterfactual graphs (Shpitser and Pearl, 2007) and single-world intervention graphs (Richardson and Robins,2013). As an application of this graphical representation, we provide an element-wise procedure of selecting adjustment sets that flexibly include and exclude given covariates. |
