Research Type Theoretical In this paper, we extend our earlier definition so as to provide a quantitative notion of harm. The first step is relatively straightforward: we define a quantitative notion of harm in a deterministic setting. [...] We have given a formal definition of quantitative harm, based on our earlier definition of qualitative harm. [...] In fact, we prove that harm has the same complexity as causality in the full paper, that is, DP-complete [Beckers et al., 2022b].
