Connectivity and Selective Rural Migration

International Economic Review, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT How does infrastructure shape rural development? Using household panel data from a nationally representative sample of Chinese villages, matched to high‐resolution highway maps, we find that road expansion between 2000 and 2015 operates mainly through reallocation, with less productive farmers scaling down or exiting and more productive ...

A spectral analysis extension to DEMATEL for strategic leverage points identification

International Transactions in Operational Research, EarlyView.
Abstract Efforts to intervene in complex systems often emphasize influential factors, yet system behavior is equally shaped by the relationships among them. Methods such as Decision‐Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory (DEMATEL) map causal structures but remain descriptive and do not identify which relationships provide the greatest leverage for ...

Large Language Model‐Based Localization of Premature Ventricular Contraction Origins: A Retrospective Diagnostic Accuracy Study

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Accurate localization of premature ventricular contraction (PVC) origin from 12‐lead electrocardiography (ECG) is important for procedural planning in catheter ablation. Although convolutional neural network (CNN)‐based models have shown promising diagnostic performance, they require task‐specific training and remain limited in ...

RPM and Vertical Integration With Upstream Competition and Noncontractible Efforts

The Journal of Industrial Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We study RPM and vertical integration in a common agency setting with two differentiated manufacturers and one retailer, where consumer demand depends on both the manufacturers' and retailer's noncontractible efforts. Under vertical separation, the adoption of maximum RPM by both manufacturers is an equilibrium and intensifies competition ...

Contractionary Effects of Devaluation and the Balance Sheet Effect in a Macroeconomic Model With Heterogeneous Firms

Metroeconomica, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We propose a demand‐led heterogeneous firm macroeconomic model to study the impact of an exchange rate devaluation on output and financial stability. We simulate the model and find that, in the presence of foreign debt, a devaluation can have contractionary effects.

Revising Structuralism in Times of Crisis: Lance Taylor and the Neo‐Structuralist Synthesis in the 1980s

Metroeconomica, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article places the work of Lance Taylor in the broader context of efforts in the 1980s to renew the structuralist tradition of development economics, into what was then newly coined as neo‐structuralism. These efforts centred around three groups: CEPAL, Lance Taylor and his team at MIT, and a group of economists based at the Institute of ...

Is A Little Learning Dangerous?

Noûs, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT I argue that a little learning is often dangerous even for ideal reasoners who are operating in extremely simple scenarios and know all the relevant facts about how the evidence is generated. More precisely, I show that, on many plausible ways of assigning value to a credence in a hypothesis H, ideal Bayesians should sometimes expect other ...

Weak Exogeneity, Driving Trends and Non‐Causality. Is Dynamic Adjustment Informative About Causality?

Oxford Bulletin of Economics and Statistics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In VECMs (or CVARs), the weak exogeneity of some of the variables (for the long‐run parameters) is related to the equilibrium adjustment dynamics. This has sometimes led to the statistical concept of weak exogeneity being given a causal interpretation.

Time Averaged CCE

Oxford Bulletin of Economics and Statistics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A popular approach to interactive effects panel data models is the common correlated effects (CCE) estimator of Pesaran (Estimation and inference in large heterogeneous panels with a multifactor error structure. Econometrica 74, 967–1012, 2006). The current paper proposes a modified version of this estimator that is useful in a number of cases

Laws and Reasons Why

Analytic Philosophy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Laws play some role in explanations: at the very least, they somehow connect what is explained, or the explanandum, to what explains, or the explanans. Thus, thermodynamical laws connect the match's being struck and its lightning, so that the former causes the latter; and laws about set formation connect Socrates' existence with {Socrates}'s ...
