 The chart below illustrates what we define as macrodynamics in Algorithmic Recourse: (a) we have a simple linear classifier trained for binary classification where samples from the negative class ($y=0$) are marked in blue and samples of the positive class ($y=1$) are marked in orange; (b) the implementation of AR for a random subset of individuals leads to a noticable domain shift; (c) as the classifier is retrained we observe a corresponding model shift; (d) as this process is repeated, the decision boundary moves away from the target class.

 ## Mitigation Strategies
 
+In the paper, we propose three simple mitigation strategies:
+
+1. More Conservative Decision Thresholds
+2. Classifier Preserving ROAR
+3. Gravitational Counterfactual Explanations 
+
+@fig-mitigate shows an illustrative example that demonstrates the differences in counterfactual outcomes when using the various mitigation strategies compared to the baseline approach, that is, Wachter with $\gamma=0.5$: choosing a higher decision threshold pushes the counterfactual a little further into the target domain; this effect is even stronger for ClaPROAR; finally, using the Gravitational generator the counterfactual ends up all the way inside the target domain.
