How to Deal With Reverse Causality Using Panel Data? Recommendations for Researchers Based on a Simulation Study

Does X affect Y? Answering this question is particularly difficult if reverse causality is looming. Many social scientists turn to panel data to address such questions of causal ordering. Yet even ...
