摘要
In this paper a proof is offered that if a variable Y-3 does not cause a variable Y-1 in the bivariate system (Y-1, Y-3) and Y-3 causes a variable Y-1 in higher-order system (Y-1, Y-2, Y-3), then the omitted variable Y-2 must cause the variable Y-1 in the bivariate system (Y-1, Y-2) and in the trivariate system (Y-1, Y-2, Y-3).
