Examplary applications of Pearl's theory of causality Causal theories described in Pearl (2009) seemingly find more and more attention in methodological papers (Elwert and Winship, 2014; Pearl, Glymour and Jewell, 2016; Lewbel, 2019; Imbens, 2019).
But are there any good, practical applications of Pearl's causal theories in empirical research? Have you encountered such papers?

 A: The question is: "Are there any good, practical applications of Pearl's causal theories in empirical research?", and my answer is yes, likely occurring, however, as a prerequisite or possibly embedded.
First, some background, courtesy of a paper provided by Judea Pearl and T.S. Verma: A Theory of Inferred Causation. Per the reference, an analysis of causation can encompass the identification of possible explanatory 'clues' and also inferring causative models from said clues.
Then, there is, for example, this work: Causality in Decision Making by York Hagmayer and Philip M. Fernbach, to quote:

To summarize, causal decision theory argues that   knowledge of the statistical relationships between an action and a desired outcome is sometimes insufficient for making the best choice. Based on assumptions about the underlying causal structure causal expected utilities can   be calculated which allow the decision maker to identify and choose the action....reasonable utilities can only be generated if one has knowledge of the causal structure relating the chosen action and the desired outcome. Thus, causal knowledge is central to rational decision-making.

The last sentence makes my point, there are many articles, not just this cited example, which rest on a premise of causal knowledge/structure for which the work of Pearl can provide a cornerstone.
Other related examples of possible applications include Mixed Causal Structure Discovery with Application to Prescriptive Pricing and A causal inference approach to measure price elasticity in Automobile Insurance.
