On the Multidimensional Stable Marriage Problem [PDF]
, 2015 We provide a problem definition of the stable marriage problem for a general number of parties $p$ under a natural preference scheme in which each person has simple lists for the other parties.

Late payments, higher prices? An experimental investigation of competitive procurement
Decision Sciences, EarlyView.Abstract The decision to pay one's supplier late is commonplace across global supply chains and, arguably, a key challenge for many businesses. In a multiple‐methods study, we contribute to the literature by documenting important empirical and anecdotal features about the likelihood and severity of late payments, formulating and solving a theoretical ...

An Improved Bound for First-Fit on Posets Without Two Long Incomparable Chains
, 2012 It is known that the First-Fit algorithm for partitioning a poset P into chains uses relatively few chains when P does not have two incomparable chains each of size k. In particular, if P has width w then Bosek, Krawczyk, and Szczypka (SIAM J.

Economic Inquiry, EarlyView.Abstract Conventional wisdom suggests that competition in the modern digital environment pushes media outlets toward the early release of less accurate information. We show that this is not necessarily the case. Two opposing forces determine the resolution of the speed‐accuracy tradeoff: preemption and reputation.

Shades of empire: Evidence from Swedish and Polish–Lithuanian partitions in the Baltics
The Economic History Review, EarlyView.Abstract In this study, we explore the long‐run effects of Swedish and Polish–Lithuanian imperial legacies in the Baltic region. Using a robust regression discontinuity design, we identify persistent differences in socio‐economic development across the South Livonia–Courland and the South Livonia–Lettgallia borders that emerged as a result of the ...

Attacking Graph Neural Networks with Bit Flips: Weisfeiler and Leman Go Indifferent
Proceedings of the 30th ACM SIGKDD Conference on Knowledge Discovery and Data MiningPrior attacks on graph neural networks have mostly focused on graph poisoning and evasion, neglecting the network's weights and biases. Traditional weight-based fault injection attacks, such as bit flip attacks used for convolutional neural networks, do not consider the unique properties of graph neural networks.

Understanding Wealth‐Tax Rates: An Investor‐Utility Mapping to Capital‐Gains Taxes
European Financial Management, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Wealth‐tax rates are formulated as fractions of a capital stock, rather than fractions of income from capital, which makes them difficult to compare with other (income‐based) tax rates. We derive investor‐utility comparisons between wealth‐tax rates and realized capital‐gains tax rates, capturing two crucial features absent in naive ...

A Theory of the Boundaries of Banks With Implications for Financial Integration and Regulation
Financial Management, EarlyView.ABSTRACT We offer a theory of the “boundary of the firm” that is tailored to banks, recognizing the relevance of deposit financing and interbank lending as a substitute for integration. It is based on a single inefficiency that has been at the core of banking theory: risk‐shifting incentives in the interest of bank shareholders.

Strategic Flip‐Flopping in Political Competition
International Economic Review, EarlyView.ABSTRACT We study candidates' position adjustments in response to information about voters' preferences. Repositioning allows candidates to move closer to the median voter, but it incurs financial and electoral costs. In a subgame‐perfect equilibrium, candidates diverge from the center ex ante if the costs of adjustment are sufficiently large.

Market Allocations Under Conflation of Goods
International Economic Review, EarlyView.ABSTRACT We study competitive equilibria in exchange economies when a continuum of goods is conflated into a finite set of commodities. The design of conflation choices affects the allocation of scarce resources among agents, by constraining trading opportunities and shifting competitive pressures.
