Prediction with Expert Advice under Discounted Loss
We study prediction with expert advice in the setting where the losses are accumulated with some discounting---the impact of old losses may gradually vanish.

When should firms watch for cross‐industry competition? A demand‐side perspective
Abstract Research Summary Research on competitor identification has primarily focused on intra‐industry competition. However, cross‐industry competitive threats are prevalent and consequential. We adopt a consumer‐oriented perspective to examine how consumer perceptions shape de facto competition across industry boundaries.

Greenhouse cultivation offers the advantage of controlled growth conditions, leading to enhanced crop productivity and quality. However, maintaining these optimal conditions requires substantial energy, resulting in increased greenhouse gas emissions and operational costs. Integrating local renewable energy sources, particularly photovoltaic (PV) solar

TNCOA: Efficient Exploration via Observation‐Action Constraint on Trajectory‐Based Intrinsic Reward
ABSTRACT Efficient exploration is critical in handling sparse rewards and partial observability in deep reinforcement learning. However, most existing intrinsic reward methods based on novelty rely on single‐step observations or Euclidean distances.

Resilience in a noisy urban system
Abstract The ability of cities to recuperate from disturbances and return to their evolutionary pathways depends, first and foremost, on the type of damage that the shock created. But in addition, it depends on how information is transmitted in the urban system and on how noise filters distort the information that reaches economic agents.

Which Measures of Time Preference Best Predict Outcomes? Evidence from a Large-Scale Field Experiment [PDF]
Economists and psychologists have devised numerous instruments to measure time preferences and have generated a rich literature examining the extent to which time preferences predict important outcomes; however, we still do not know which measures work ...

A Coalitional Great Fish War Model with Quasi-Hyperbolic Discounting
This paper studies the coalitional great fish war model in a setting with βδ-preferences (or quasi-hyperbolic discounting). We derive the equilibrium strategies and payoffs in this coalition game under non-cooperation, full cooperation, and partial ...

Climate change and anthropogenic activities drive antagonistic degradation of landscape connectivity for endangered François’ langur (1987–2024), causing 48.8% habitat loss, north‐south fragmentation, and centroid migration (1.2 km/yr). Despite protected areas buffering connectivity, static management fails dynamic priority habitats; we propose ...

Labor Supply of Mothers: The Role of Time Discounting
We estimate a dynamic life-cycle model of labor supply with a focus on time preferences for women. We extend the dynamic discrete choice model to accommodate potentially non-exponential discounting.
