arXiv:2510. 08762v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Causal inference in spatial domains faces two intertwined challenges: (1) unmeasured spatial factors, such as weather, air pollution, or mobility, that confound treatment and outcome, and (2) interference from nearby treatments that violate standard no-interference assumptions.

The paper introduces TranCE, a doubly‑robust algorithm for estimating causal effects when an intervention is applied to one network but the interest lies in another, differing network. By extending selection diagrams to capture covariate and structural network shifts, the authors derive transport formulas for direct, spillover, and total effects, and validate the method on semi‑synthetic social‑network benchmarks and a real weather‑insurance field experiment.

arXiv:2606. 15257v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Air pollution regulation is central to urban public health governance, but estimating its effects is difficult because policies are implemented non-randomly and pollution trajectories are shaped by meteorology, socioeconomic change, temporal trends, and overlapping interventions.

arXiv:2608. 08064v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Learning fine-grained spatial patterns from coarse-resolution data is challenging, especially in causal settings where high-resolution effects must be inferred from aggregated interventions and outcomes.
