First elected to the Senate in , Baumgartner is serving his second term. He is chairman of the Senate Commerce and Labor Committee. In the Legislature, Baumgartner has compiled a record as a fiscal conservative who believes the state should place its emphasis on the core functions of government - education, roads and services for the most needy and vulnerable.
During his first term he quickly made his mark as sponsor of a bill creating the Department of Enterprise Services. The new department improved state-government efficiency by combining several agencies providing back-office functions.
Higher education also is a major concern for Baumgartner. He was the Legislature's prime advocate for the tuition freeze that halted the annual increases in tuition at public colleges and universities over the last two years and a key architect of the tuition cut included in the budget. During the preceding three decades, tuition has increased at a rate far faster than inflation - a seventeenfold increase at some institutions - imposing a hidden tax on students and parents to fund other state-government priorities.
Baumgartner thrust the issue to center stage during the session, and that year's budget deal was the first since that avoided a tuition hike.
The tuition cut was the first in state history and made Washington the only state nationally to actually cut tuition. Judith Warnick R. Jim Honeyford R. Perry Dozier R. Lynda Wilson R. Jeff Wilson R.

In particular, tools for robustness tests of CNA models and strategies for reducing model ambiguities shall be developed. The second objective is to systematically test the inferential potential of CNA by applying it to real-life studies from varying disciplines and, thereby, to explore the applicability of CNA outside of the standard domain of CCMs, for example, in biology, medicine or psychology.
The third objective is to analyze the relationship between CNA and methods from other theoretical traditions—in particular Bayes-nets methods cf. Spirtes et al. Are there substantive points of contact between these methodological traditions?
Are there ways to fruitfully integrate them in multi-method studies? What are the conditions that determine what method is best suited to investigate a given phenomenon or to answer a given research question?
A Bayesian Theory of Constitution The goal of this project is to develop a Bayesian theory of constitution that identifies as constituents those spatiotemporal parts of a phenomenon whose causal roles contain the phenomenon's causal role. By drawing on the conceptual resources of Bayesian networks, the project should pave the way for a Bayesian methodology for constitutional discovery. Collaborator: Lorenzo Casini. In recent years, numerous non-reductive physicalists e. Shapiro, Sober, Raatikainen, Menzies have argued that, by adopting a variant of Woodward's popular interventionist theory of causation, it becomes possible to provide empirical evidence in favor of the existence of macro-to-micro downward causation.
This projects intends to show that all of these proposals are bound to fail, for it is impossible, in principle, to generate evidence for downward causation. The question as to the existence of macro-to-micro causation is of inherently pragmatic nature. Skip to main content. UiB Persons. Download vCard Log in. Michael C. Baumgartner Professor, Philosophy.
