Abstract

In this chapter I consider ways in which contemporary graphical causal models can be extended to model systems with complex temporal dynamics. I propose that the present
limitations of contemporary causal models in representing such dynamics are a legacy of their original application to simultaneous equations for long-term equilibrium relationships. Iwasaki and Simon (1994) provide a way of generalizing causal models to represent the dynamics of
systems that are away from equilibrium. I clarify the temporal relationships among the variables in dynamic causal models, and illustrate how these relationships relate to those studied by timeseries econometricians.
