Food Prices and Inflation Expectations in New Zealand
ABSTRACT Food prices are conspicuous, and spending on food constitutes a considerable share of household expenditure. In this study, we use partially identified Bayesian structural vector autoregression models to analyze the effects of food price shocks on core inflation and 1‐ and 5‐year inflation expectations in New Zealand.

Fine‐tuning steric and C─H···π contacts directs assembly of two CuI cages. An identical naphthylene‐based subcomponent forms a [CuI12L6]12+ pseudo‐hexagonal prism stabilized by 29–32 C─H···π contacts and 12 arene stacking pairs with 6‐methyl‐2‐formylpyridine, whereas the 3‐methyl analog imparts steric clashes, yielding a [CuI8L4]8+ open prism ...

Context-Indexed Counterfactuals
It is commonly believed that the role of context cannot be ignored in the analysis of conditionals, and counterfactuals in particular. On truth conditional accounts involving possible worlds semantics, conditionals have been analysed as expressions of ...

In this paper, I appeal to a quantified counterfactual logic in order to argue that van Inwagen's new version of the Consequence Argument, unlike the original version of his argument, is logically valid.

Some Notes on Counterfactuals in Quantum Mechanics
Counterfactuals, i.e., events that could have occurred but eventually did not, play a unique role in quantum mechanics in that they exert causal effects despite their non-occurrence.

"If Oswald had not killed Kennedy" – Spohn on Counterfactuals [PDF]
Wolfgang Spohn's theory of ranking functions is an elegant and powerful theory of the structure and dynamics of doxastic states. In two recent papers, Spohn has applied it to the analysis of conditionals, claiming to have presented a unified account of ...

Fantasy proneness and counterfactual thinking [PDF]
Counterfactual thinking (CFT; mentally simulating alternatives to reality) is central to learning and motivation. Two studies explored the relationship between CFT and fantasy proneness, a personality trait typified by excessive fantasies hard to ...

Counterfactuals and Accessibility [PDF]
The accessibility relation between possible worlds can be defined in the metalanguage of counterfactual semantics. As a result, counterfactuals can ground the whole of standard modal logic.

AI in chemical engineering: From promise to practice
Abstract Artificial intelligence (AI) in chemical engineering has moved from promise to practice: physics‐aware (gray‐box) models are gaining traction, reinforcement learning complements model predictive control (MPC), and generative AI powers documentation, digitization, and safety workflows.

Ceteris paribus logic in counterfactual reasoning
The semantics for counterfactuals due to David Lewis has been challenged on the basis of unlikely, or impossible, events. Such events may skew a given similarity order in favour of those possible worlds which exhibit them.
