FAIR TRADE: A MODEL TO STUDY THE BEHAVIORAL ENTRY DECISION FOR PRODUCERS INTO THE FAIR TRADE MARKET AS WELL AS ITS EFFECT ON HETEROGENEOUS PRODUCERS [PDF]
Journal of Economic and Social Development (Varaždin), 2021 In this paper we will try to construct a model to examine the entry decision for producers into Fair Trade market, as well as compare this entry with the normal process, or the heterogenous producers’ model, we will study the discrepancies between the ...

Rising Trade Costs? Agglomeration and Trade with Endogenous Transaction Costs [PDF]
While transport costs have fallen, the empirical evidence also points at rising total trade costs. In a model of industry location with endogenous transaction costs, we show how and under which conditions a decline in transport costs can lead to an ...

A Practical Noise2Noise Denoising Pipeline for High‐Throughput Raman Spectroscopy
Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.A lightweight and reproducible denoising pipeline for high‐throughput Raman spectroscopy is introduced, based on a 1D convolutional autoencoder trained with a Noise2Noise strategy. Using only repeated short‐exposure acquisitions, the method suppresses stochastic noise without reference spectra, enabling reliable spectral reconstruction while preserving

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.Functionally graded metal–ceramic femoral stems are engineered through continuous UMAT‐based stiffness tailoring, eliminating discrete material interfaces while enhancing biomechanical compatibility. Low‐index power‐law gradation optimizes load transfer, reduces stress shielding, and controls implant–bone micromotion, highlighting a materials‐design ...

New AI‐Assisted Approach for Expanding the Solution Space: Application to Lattice Structure Design
Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.This work introduces an innovative framework for designing structured materials by ex panding the design space through reparameterization of qualitative variables into continuous structural descriptors. Combined with machine‐learning‐based prediction and multi‐objective optimization, the approach enables the discovery of novel lattice architectures ...

Trade Costs, Market Access and Economic Geography: Why the Empirical Specification of Trade Costs Matters [PDF]
Trade costs are a crucial in new economic geography (NEG) models. The unavailability of actual trade costs data requires the approximation of trade costs.
