When Numbers LieThe Misuse of Correlation in Policy Debates

The piece examines how misinterpreting correlation as causation can distort economic-policy arguments.

It was written for Econ 101, the Call for Articles run by Athashastra, the economics club at IIM Rohtak, and it took All-India Rank 1 in that national call.

The argument is not reproduced on this site. What is here is the record of the piece, the subject it takes on, and a small interactive illustration of that subject: the same trap, drawn rather than asserted.
