Identity, Structure, and Causal Representation in Scientific Models - Mechanism and Causality in Biology and Economics - page 55

control the world for desirable ends - what Cartwright ( 2007 ) refers to as “hunting”
and “using” causes. Either activity, however, is greatly furthered by a good repre-
sentation: think of the utility of having a good wanted poster or a good set of
blueprints. What I hope to have shown in this chapter is that a relatively straight-
forward system of causal representation can be useful in understanding and resolv-
ing substantive debates in the philosophy of causation, as well as in the actual
applications of causal inference and manipulation in economics.
