College Loans and Human Capital Investment

International Economic Review, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT College loans facilitate access to education, but the repayment burden may distort posteducation human capital investment. We examine the role of college loans and loan repayment policies through a structural model of individuals' dynamic decisions on borrowing/saving, labor supply, and costly human capital investment. We estimate two versions

Deep reinforcement learning for multi‐restart metaheuristics: an environment design for a hybrid of unbiased exploratory search and covariance matrix adaptation evolution strategy

International Transactions in Operational Research, EarlyView.
Abstract Multi‐restart metaheuristics can be highly effective for complex optimization problems, yet their performance depends critically on how restarts and algorithmic parameters are selected. This paper introduces a reinforcement learning approach for managing restart‐level decisions and parameter configurations in the UES–CMA‐ES hybrid ...

Conservation and management implications of genetic and geometric scale variation in the ancient fish giant featherback (Chitala lopis)

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Giant featherback (Chitala lopis) is an ancient species of freshwater fish considered globally extinct until extant populations were re‐discovered in the Sundaland region of Indonesia in 2022. To improve management of the remaining populations, this study used genomic DNA and landmark‐based geometric morphometric analyses of fish scales to ...
