Abstract In response to the COVID‐19 pandemic, numerous countries implemented lockdowns. In Victoria, Australia, a unique two‐tier system was employed, segregating areas with a Ring of Steel boundary and imposing additional restrictions within. This study focuses on the impact of lockdowns on housing prices and rents, exploring whether people are ...

Buyer‐Optimal Platform Design

The RAND Journal of Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A platform matches a unit mass of sellers, each owning a single product of heterogeneous quality, to a unit mass of buyers with differing valuations for unit‐quality. After matching, sellers make take‐it‐or‐leave‐it price‐offers to buyers. Initially, valuations of buyers are only known to them and the platform, but sellers make inferences from

Technology for Whom and for What? A Global South View of Tech Diplomacy

Global Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT International politics is linked to its technical‐social character. Also, technology is socially constructed and thereby not entirely neutral or impartial. A tech‐driven geopolitical landscape has been a defining feature of contemporary world politics.

Tales of Cyberspace and Artificial Intelligence: Diverging Stakeholderships?

Global Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article traces the evolution of the Internet from the 1990s to the 2020s and compares it with the development of Artificial Intelligence (AI), particularly following the public launch of ChatGPT in late 2022. It identifies both parallels and divergencies between these two overlapping technological domains, focusing on the growing ...

Wages and Working Conditions in Global Value Chains: The Relevance of Foreign Ownership in New Sourcing Countries

British Journal of Industrial Relations, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The debate on the relationship between labour conditions in manufacturing sectors and global value chain (GVC) participation takes a new turn with the emergence of sub‐Saharan African (SSA) economies as important sourcing destinations. With lower levels of economic development, and significantly lower wages than most other exporting countries,

Flow‐pattern evolution of the Scandinavian Ice Sheet indicated by the subglacial lineation record over Norway, Sweden and Finland

Boreas, EarlyView.
We present a 25‐stage reconstruction of the ice‐flow pattern evolution of the Scandinavian Ice Sheet based on mapping and analysis of ~240 000 subglacial lineations and lineation fields across Norway, Sweden, Finland, and parts of NW Russia. Our reconstruction uses a glacial geomorphological inversion approach, in which we generated 611 individual ...

SDFs from Unoriented Point Clouds using Neural Variational Heat Distances

Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
We propose a novel variational approach for computing neural Signed Distance Fields (SDF) from unoriented point clouds. We first compute a small time step of heat flow (middle) and then use its gradient directions to solve for a neural SDF (right). Abstract We propose a novel variational approach for computing neural Signed Distance Fields (SDF) from ...

Style Brush: Guided Style Transfer for 3D Objects

Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
We introduce Style Brush, a guided 3D style‐transfer method for textured meshes that provides precise creative control. It supports the use of multiple style images, smooth transitions and intuitive guidance, producing visually appealing textures that follow user intent as we demonstrate in our user study and results. Abstract We introduce Style Brush,
