Using network analysis to identify leverage points based on causal loop diagrams leads to false inference

Abstract Network analysis is gaining momentum as an accepted practice to identify which factors in causal loop diagrams (CLDs)—mental models that graphically represent causal relationships between a system’s factors—are most likely to shift system-level behaviour, known as leverage points. This appl...
