Causal Inference in Network Economics

Optimization and Control 2021-09-24 v1 Artificial Intelligence

Abstract

Network economics is the study of a rich class of equilibrium problems that occur in the real world, from traffic management to supply chains and two-sided online marketplaces. In this paper we explore causal inference in network economics, building on the mathematical framework of variational inequalities, which is a generalization of classical optimization. Our framework can be viewed as a synthesis of the well-known variational inequality formalism with the broad principles of causal inference
