Orsaksändringar refers to changes in the causal structure of a system, i.e., when the relationships that link causes to effects evolve over time or vary across contexts. The term is formed from orsak (cause) and ändring (change) with pluralization. In Swedish scholarly writing, it is used to describe situations where the driver or mechanism behind observed outcomes shifts, so that past causal assumptions are no longer valid.
Examples include: economic policy that changes the effectiveness of a stimulus; epidemiological contexts where a risk
How studied: Researchers use methods like time-varying coefficient models, structural break tests, causal discovery with stability
Implications: Understanding orsaksändringar matters for prediction, policy design, and the interpretation of dynamic systems, since changing
Relation to other concepts: Orsaksändringar are related to structural breaks, causal inference, mechanism change, and the
