Wage reactions to regional and national unemployment

Regional Science Policy &Practice, EarlyView., 2023
Abstract This paper analyses the entire wage effects of unemployment for an especially long observation period. In a three‐step approach, the wage reaction at the national level (wage‐setting curve or aggregate wage equation) is added to the reaction at the regional level (wage curve). Spatial models with instrumental variables are used.

Modular, Textile‐Based Soft Robotic Grippers for Agricultural Produce Handling

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
This article introduces textile‐based pneumatic grippers that transform simple textiles into robust bending actuators. Detailed experiments uncover how cut geometry and fabric selection shape performance. Successful handling of fragile agricultural items showcases the potential of textile robotics for safe, scalable automation in food processing and ...

Growth of Omnichannel Grocery Retailing and Food Prices

Agribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper examines the effects of the growth of omnichannel grocery retailing on food prices. We first develop a conceptual model of consumer choice and retailer pricing that allows us to evaluate changes in equilibrium prices, quantities, and profits with online channel growth and alternative pricing strategies.

An Autonomous Large Language Model‐Agent Framework for Transparent and Local Time Series Forecasting

Advanced Intelligent Discovery, EarlyView.
Architecture of the proposed large language model (LLM)‐based agent framework for autonomous time series forecasting in thermal power generation systems. The framework operates through a vertical pipeline initiated by natural language queries from users, which are processed by the LLM Agent Core powered by Llama.cpp and a ReAct loop with persistent ...

Pre‐Curved Everting Robots With Embedded Steering Intelligence Fabricated by CO2 Laser Welding

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Design and experimental demonstration of a laser welded growing robot for anatomically guided navigation. The robot follows an aortic arch phantom entering the branchiocephalic branch through steering by design. The figure shows the physical phantom setup, CAD defined weld geometry and full robot eversion.

Programmable Flocks: Hierarchical Swarm Control via Dynamic Parameter Injection

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
We present a method for the control of robot swarms which allows the shaping and the translation of patterns of simple robots (“smart particles”), using two types of devices. These two types represent a hierarchy: a larger group of simple, oblivious robots (which we call the workers) that is governed by simple local attraction forces and a smaller ...

Interpretable Short‐Term Electric Load Forecasting

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
A temporal fusion transformer is implemented to generate day‐ahead forecasts of the hourly electrical load of a departmentbuilding at an Italian university. A forecasting performance improvement of more than 25% compared with established benchmark models and a provision of inherent robust interpretability insights reveal the potential of this model for

Firms' Green Responses to Environmental Regulations: A Three‐Dimensional Concurrent Engineering Perspective

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study investigates companies' responses to energy efficiency policies, focusing on mandatory and voluntary regulations that create a complex landscape for businesses to navigate. Using a sample of 1473 firms across 29 European countries (2002–2018), we explore the impact of legislation on green redesign—operationalized through ...

Motive and Opportunity: Order Choice in a Limit Order Book With Dispersed Information

International Journal of Finance &Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We test predictions of market microstructure theory relating to the determinants of order choice in a limit order book where information is dispersed among traders. Using an experimental limit order book, with a large state space, we find that informed traders exhibit patience, compatible with the ‘waiting game’ behaviour described in Foster ...
