Causal Claims Network Graph

Edges that are evidenced by causal inference methods are in orange, and the rest are in light blue.

Cause	Effect
manipulations in the nonstrategic component (C72)	individual behavior (D01)
changes in the nonstrategic component (L19)	Pareto optimality ordering (D61)
Pareto optimality ordering (D61)	individual behavior (D01)
MMS predictions coincide with altruistic behavioral rules (D64)	deviations from Nash equilibrium (C72)
