change. For example‚ a stone thrown at the window pane will cause the pane of glass to shatter. In this situation‚ throwing of stone is the cause while the shattered glass is the effect. Such an implicit understanding of causality is found in everyday life.

Abstract This paper is to employ a vector autoregressive model to investigate the impact of stock market and saving rate on GDP growth. The result indicates that the lagged values of both stock index and saving rate don’t have influence on the current value of GDP. However‚ we find that the lagged value of stock index does have impact on saving rate. We conclude that one of the most important reason lead to this result should due to small sample size and data of saving rate still remains non-stationary

fact that a man is free as long as his own choices are in the chain of what is supposed to occur. Fatalism is a form of determinism that explains how every event in the future is fated to happen. Determinism in general is mostly related to causality. But causality can happen without determinism if it follows an uncaused event that was not predictable from events in the past. If indeterminism occurs‚ that means that the events happen without a specific cause. So there can possibly be adequate determinism

Hume’s Problem Of Induction In A Treatise of Human Nature‚ Hume challenges the traditional theories of causality‚ the idea that one can make an observation about two events and infer a new claim concerning the conjunction of the first event and the “resulting” second event. Instead of accepting this notion of causality‚ Hume questions the certainty of matters of fact and more specifically induction. Hume states there are two distinct types of knowledge: relations of ideas and matters of fact
