Survey on Visualization of Information Diffusion over Networks

Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
Abstract Information Diffusion (ID) describes how a value (e.g., a pathogen, a rumor, a packet) spreads through an underlying “medium” network of elements (e.g., a social or computer network). Understanding the information diffusion process is essential to predicting trends, controlling misinformation, and enhancing decision‐making as well as ...

Building a Potemkin village in occupied China: Japan's wartime system of linked trade, 1939–43

The Economic History Review, EarlyView.
Abstract The paper discusses the novel but little‐known exchange rate system of Japanese‐occupied North China during the Second Sino‐Japanese War, in which exporters were given the right to import in the form of a piece of yellow paper, which could be sold in the secondary market.

Rational Expectations Fools' Bubbles

International Economic Review, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We develop a rational, Walrasian model of speculative bubbles inspired by the Kindleberger–Minsky view, which describes bubbles as wave‐like market processes. Touched off by an initial shock, price booms are initially self‐reinforcing but become self‐destructive later when prices surpass fundamental value.

Connectivity and Selective Rural Migration

International Economic Review, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT How does infrastructure shape rural development? Using household panel data from a nationally representative sample of Chinese villages, matched to high‐resolution highway maps, we find that road expansion between 2000 and 2015 operates mainly through reallocation, with less productive farmers scaling down or exiting and more productive ...

A spectral analysis extension to DEMATEL for strategic leverage points identification

International Transactions in Operational Research, EarlyView.
Abstract Efforts to intervene in complex systems often emphasize influential factors, yet system behavior is equally shaped by the relationships among them. Methods such as Decision‐Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory (DEMATEL) map causal structures but remain descriptive and do not identify which relationships provide the greatest leverage for ...

Random‐key optimization for 2D irregular packing with reusable area evaluation

International Transactions in Operational Research, EarlyView.
Abstract The diverse constraints of industrial applications lead to variants of two‐dimensional (2D) irregular packing problems that require tailored solution methods. This paper addresses a real‐world industrial challenge by proposing a new problem definition, the maximum reusable contiguous area problem (MRCAP), and a novel metric, the maximum ...

Privatization Under Political Ties

The Journal of Industrial Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT I study a product differentiation model with endogenous entry where a politically connected public firm competes with a private one. Consumers are heterogeneous in their willingness to pay. I argue that—because of political ties—the public firm may mimic the preferences of the consumer with the median willingness to pay.

Contractionary Effects of Devaluation and the Balance Sheet Effect in a Macroeconomic Model With Heterogeneous Firms

Metroeconomica, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We propose a demand‐led heterogeneous firm macroeconomic model to study the impact of an exchange rate devaluation on output and financial stability. We simulate the model and find that, in the presence of foreign debt, a devaluation can have contractionary effects.

Is A Little Learning Dangerous?

Noûs, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT I argue that a little learning is often dangerous even for ideal reasoners who are operating in extremely simple scenarios and know all the relevant facts about how the evidence is generated. More precisely, I show that, on many plausible ways of assigning value to a credence in a hypothesis H, ideal Bayesians should sometimes expect other ...

Weak Exogeneity, Driving Trends and Non‐Causality. Is Dynamic Adjustment Informative About Causality?

Oxford Bulletin of Economics and Statistics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In VECMs (or CVARs), the weak exogeneity of some of the variables (for the long‐run parameters) is related to the equilibrium adjustment dynamics. This has sometimes led to the statistical concept of weak exogeneity being given a causal interpretation.
