Reduced Causal Maps

[Augusto Carena]

Workin on quite complex models I need to draw ex-post causal maps that simplify the real causal connection (e.g. market share depends on awareness through a set of calculation auxiliaries, and I need to show only a direct link between the 2 variables). Is it possible to draw such direct arrow?
Moreover, cause I use these maps to analyse behaviour, is there a way to show in a strip graph this "fake" link?
Thanks in advance

You can't change things in the same model, but you can build another model with the same variable names and then use datasets (runs) from the complete model to do causal tracing. This can be very effective for explaining things.
