New developments of causal inference have revolutionized the way we use data, statistics, and research design and provided a new suite of qualitative and quantitative tools to study long-standing questions in the social sciences. One of the contexts in which these methods are being applied is the interdisciplinary field of empirical legal studies, the importance of which is reflected in a number of high-quality peer-reviewed journals in this area emerging over the past two decades. This project will apply recent tools and methods in causal inference to a variety of problems in the social sciences and try to provide a rigorous and unifying framework to study inequality and justice quantitatively.

因果推理的新发展彻底改变了我们使用数据、统计和研究设计的方式，并提供了一套新的定性和定量工具来研究社会科学中长期存在的问题。应用这些方法的背景之一是实证法律研究的跨学科领域，其重要性反映在过去二十年该领域出现的许多高质量同行评审期刊中。该项目将把最新的因果推理工具和方法应用于社会科学中的各种问题，并试图提供一个严格而统一的框架来定量研究不平等和正义。
