ABSTRACT This study examines whether sharing a common official language increases the probability that two countries engage in bilateral trade of wheat and bakery products. Using a binary choice framework applied to 54,780 country‐pair observations for 2023, probit and logit models of the extensive margin of trade are estimated, with a focus on whether

MDSC: Unsupervised Multipath Decomposition and Synergistic Correction for Efficient Low‐Light Image Enhancement with Detail‐Aware Smoothing

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This work proposes MDSC, an unsupervised low‐light enhancement framework integrating three core innovations: detail‐aware smoothing, multipath decomposition, and synergistic correction. It suppresses noise, handles rapid illumination variations, and prevents reflectance‐contrast amplification inherent to Retinex separation.

Bilateral Trade: A Regret Minimization Perspective

open access: yesMathematics of Operations Research
Bilateral trade, a fundamental topic in economics, models the problem of intermediating between two strategic agents, a seller and a buyer, willing to trade a good for which they hold private valuations. In this paper, we cast the bilateral trade problem in a regret minimization framework over T rounds of seller/buyer interactions, with no prior ...

Causal analysis of trade loss from pathogens: A global study of foot and mouth disease impacts on meat exports

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract Our general interest is in global trade loss from livestock pathogens, specifically exports. We adopt a causal inference approach that considers animal disease outbreaks over time as non‐staggered binary treatments with the potential for switching in (infection) and out of treatment (recovery) within the sample period. The outcome evolution of
