This paper discusses the wave description in biology, chemistry and economics. Using quantum mechanics to study social processes, it was shown that the economic waves of N. Kondratiev are theoretically derived from the quantum theory of the development of science and society. The use of Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle for social phenomena shows that the development of society is conceptually probabilistic in nature and cannot be strictly predicted in principle (given the mathematical formula). The rejection of the “time arrow�? at the quantum level leads to the conclusion that “time in our world�? is a definite “averaging and transformation�? of periodic quantum processes at the fundamental level. It also shows the impossibility of achieving technological singularity and the creation of artificial intelligence like human.
本文讨论了生物、化学和经济学中的波动描述。利用量子力学对社会过程进行研究,证明了康德拉季耶夫的经济波在理论上是由科学和社会发展的量子理论推导出来的。海森堡不确定性原理对社会现象的应用表明,社会的发展在概念上是概率性的,原则上不能严格预测(给定数学公式)。拒绝“时间箭头”?在量子层面得出的结论是"我们世界的时间" ?是一个明确的“平均和变换”吗?周期性量子过程的基本原理。这也表明了实现技术奇点和创造像人类一样的人工智能的不可能。

Thеnеw agеtеchniquе年代的云计算procе籍数据gеnе集会scalablе和sеcurе和grееxtеnt吸引Thеinfrastructurе支持大数据的应用程序。然而,隐私问题给使用云平台带来了障碍。在数据可用性和数据混淆方面,数据可用性和数据混淆被认为是正确的,但在平衡数据隐私和数据效用方面却失败了。受自然启发的数据库数据库算法是简单的和不可靠的,因此现在在数据库数据库中很流行。对自然启发算法进行了分析,分析了自然启发算法的多样性和适应性,探索和利用,以及吸引和扩散机制。本文提出了一种基于k-匿名化的隐私预加密模型,结合狼优化算法和猫群优化算法两种算法,实现大数据环境下的隐私预加密,并将数据提供给云平台。采用k-匿名化标准从原始数据库中复制k-匿名记录,从而改进了匿名化标准。新技术将通过隐藏机密信息来实现仅向数据库和用户泄露数据库数据,从而实现加密通信。为了平衡数据库的隐私性和实用性,我们对数据库的fitnsql函数进行了描述,并将所提出的数据库与现有的各种数据库在性能(performance)、分类精度(Classification accuracy)和信息损失(Information loss)两方面进行了比较。

A Computational Model that Recovers Depth from Stereo-Input without Using Any Oculomotor Information 一种不使用任何眼动信息从立体输入恢复深度的计算模型
Pub Date : 2019-03-18 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.3354468
T. Sawada
It is commonly believed that the visual system requires oculomotor information to perceive depth from binocular disparity. However, any effect of the oculomotor information on depth perception is too restricted to explain depth perception under natural viewing conditions. In this study, I describe a computational model that can recover depth from a stereo-pair of retinal images without using any oculomotor information. The model shows that, at least from a computational perspective, any oculomotor information is not necessary for perceiving depth from the stereo retinal images.
人们普遍认为,视觉系统需要动眼肌信息来从双眼视差感知深度。然而,动眼力信息对深度感知的任何影响都过于有限,无法解释自然观看条件下的深度感知。在这项研究中,我描述了一个计算模型,可以从一个立体对视网膜图像中恢复深度,而不使用任何动眼肌信息。该模型表明,至少从计算的角度来看,任何眼动信息对于从立体视网膜图像感知深度都是不必要的。

Linear algebra is undoubtedly one of the most powerful structures of pure and applied mathematics. It combines extreme generality with deeply held spatial intuitions. In economics and data science, one would dare to say, lies at the basis of most of the other mathematical techniques used. Yet, standard presentations of the subject tend to refrain from displaying the full extent of the deeply intuitive nature of the underlying structures, despite the fact that such intuitions are so useful when applying linear algebra, and when extending techniques to tackle nonlinear problems. In the context of the “Intuitive Mathematical Economics Series”, this is the first paper of a series dedicated to presenting linear algebra emphasizing both, its intuitive, and its general nature. In this case we present linear manifolds and vector spaces.
线性代数无疑是纯数学和应用数学中最强大的结构之一。它结合了极端的普遍性和根深蒂固的空间直觉。人们敢说,在经济学和数据科学中,它是大多数其他所用数学技术的基础。然而,该主题的标准演示往往避免展示底层结构的深刻直觉本质的全部范围,尽管这种直觉在应用线性代数和扩展技术解决非线性问题时非常有用。在“直观数学经济学系列”的背景下,这是一个系列的第一篇论文,专门介绍线性代数,强调它的直觉和一般性质。在这种情况下,我们给出了线性流形和向量空间。

The Employment Effects of Technological Innovation, Consumption, and Participation in Global Value Chains: Evidence from Developing Asia 技术创新、消费和全球价值链参与的就业效应:来自亚洲发展中国家的证据
Pub Date : 2019-02-26 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.3343998
D. Bertulfo, Elisabetta Gentile, Gaaitzen J. de Vries
Global value chains (GVCs) have been a vehicle for job creation in developing Asia, but there is mounting concern that more sophisticated and cost-effective technology could displace workers through automation or reshoring of production. We use the demand-based input–output approach in Reijnders and de Vries (2018) to examine how employment responded to consumption, trade, and technological advances in 12 economies that accounted for 90% of employment in developing Asia during the period 2005–2015. Structural decomposition analysis based on the Asian Development Bank Multiregional Input–Output Tables combined with harmonized cross-country occupation data indicates that, other things being equal, technological change within GVCs was associated with a decrease in labor demand across all sectors, and an increase in the share of nonroutine cognitive occupations. We also find that increased domestic consumption expenditures of goods and services generated an increase in labor demand large enough to offset the negative employment impact of technological change. Finally, we do not find evidence of major shifts in occupational labor demand due to reshoring.
全球价值链(GVCs)一直是亚洲发展中国家创造就业机会的工具,但越来越多的人担心,更复杂、更具成本效益的技术可能会通过自动化或生产回流取代工人。我们在Reijnders和de Vries(2018)中使用基于需求的投入产出方法,研究了2005-2015年期间占亚洲发展中国家就业90%的12个经济体的就业如何对消费、贸易和技术进步做出反应。基于亚洲开发银行多地区投入产出表的结构分解分析结合统一的跨国职业数据表明,在其他条件相同的情况下,全球价值链内的技术变革与所有部门劳动力需求的减少以及非常规认知职业份额的增加有关。我们还发现,国内商品和服务消费支出的增加产生了劳动力需求的增加,足以抵消技术变革对就业的负面影响。最后,我们没有发现证据表明由于回流导致职业劳动力需求发生重大变化。

The Accumulation of Value Over Time 价值随时间的积累
Pub Date : 2019-02-24 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.3347937
Dennis Sentilles
We introduce a purely mathematical measure, Γ, of the accumulation of asset value over time that robustly measures cumulative return against market movement under whatever investment strategy is employed in buying into any given market over any period of time. Requiring no underlying assumptions about price behavior, the purely mathematical factor Γ captures the qualitative and quantitative structural elements of wealth accumulation. In direct application Γ accurately reveals the computational role and influence of volatility and mean price movement in the popular strategy of Dollar Cost Averaging. At the last Γ suggests a proportional Buy&Hold strategy that is generally more successful.

Click-Based MNL: Algorithmic Frameworks for Modeling Click Data in Assortment Optimization 基于点击的MNL:分类优化中点击数据建模的算法框架
Pub Date : 2019-02-23 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.3340620

In this paper, we introduce the click-based MNL choice model, a novel framework for capturing customer purchasing decisions in e-commerce settings. Our main modeling idea is to assume that the click behavior within product recommendation or search results pages provides an exact signal regarding the alternatives considered by each customer. We study the resulting assortment optimization problem, where the objective is to select a subset of products, made available for purchase, to maximize the expected revenue. Our main algorithmic contribution comes in the form of a polynomial-time approximation scheme (PTAS) for this problem, showing that the optimal expected revenue can be efficiently approached within any degree of accuracy. In the course of establishing this result, we develop novel technical ideas, including enumeration schemes and stochastic inequalities, which may be of broader interest. In order to quantify the benefits of incorporating click behavior within choice models, we present a case study based on data acquired in collaboration with the retail giant Alibaba. We fit click-based MNL and standard MNL models to historical sales and click data in a setting where the online platform must present customized six-product displays to users. We demonstrate that utilizing the click-based MNL model leads to substantial improvements over the standard MNL model in terms of prediction accuracy. Furthermore, we generate realistic assortment optimization instances that mirror Alibaba's customization problem, and implement practical variants of our approximation scheme to compute assortment recommendations in these settings. We find that the recommended assortments have the potential to be at least 9% more profitable than those resulting from a standard MNL model. We identify a simple greedy heuristic, which can be implemented at large scale, while also achieving near-optimal revenue performance in our experiments.
在本文中,我们介绍了基于点击的MNL选择模型,这是一个用于捕获电子商务环境中客户购买决策的新框架。我们的主要建模思想是假设产品推荐或搜索结果页面中的点击行为提供了关于每个客户考虑的备选方案的确切信号。我们研究了由此产生的分类优化问题,其目标是选择一个可供购买的产品子集,以最大化预期收益。我们的主要算法贡献来自于这个问题的多项式时间近似方案(PTAS)的形式,表明在任何精确度范围内都可以有效地接近最佳预期收入。在建立这一结果的过程中,我们发展了新的技术思想,包括枚举方案和随机不等式,这可能是更广泛的兴趣。为了量化将点击行为纳入选择模型的好处,我们提出了一个基于与零售巨头阿里巴巴合作获得的数据的案例研究。我们将基于点击的MNL和标准MNL模型与历史销售和点击数据相匹配,在线平台必须向用户呈现定制的六种产品显示。我们证明了使用基于点击的MNL模型在预测精度方面比标准MNL模型有了实质性的改进。此外,我们生成了现实的分类优化实例,反映了阿里巴巴的定制问题,并实现了我们的近似方案的实际变体,以在这些设置中计算分类推荐。我们发现,推荐的分类比标准MNL模型产生的分类至少有9%的盈利潜力。我们确定了一个简单的贪婪启发式算法,它可以大规模实现,同时在我们的实验中也实现了接近最佳的收益表现。

In the course of establishing this result, we develop novel technical ideas, including enumeration schemes and stochastic inequalities, which may be of broader interest. \u0000 \u0000In order to quantify the benefits of incorporating click behavior within choice models, we present a case study based on data acquired in collaboration with the retail giant Alibaba. We fit click-based MNL and standard MNL models to historical sales and click data in a setting where the online platform must present customized six-product displays to users. We demonstrate that utilizing the click-based MNL model leads to substantial improvements over the standard MNL model in terms of prediction accuracy. Furthermore, we generate realistic assortment optimization instances that mirror Alibaba's customization problem, and implement practical variants of our approximation scheme to compute assortment recommendations in these settings. We find that the recommended assortments have the potential to be at least 9% more profitable than those resulting from a standard MNL model. We identify a simple greedy heuristic, which can be implemented at large scale, while also achieving near-optimal revenue performance in our experiments.","PeriodicalId":299310,"journal":{"name":"Econometrics: Mathematical Methods & Programming eJournal","volume":"81 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-02-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123085467","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper proposes the Knightian Uncertainty Hypothesis (KUH), a new approach to macroeconomics and finance theory. KUH rests on a novel mathematical framework that characterizes both measurable and Knightian uncertainty about economic outcomes. Relying on this framework and Muthi?½s pathbreaking hypothesis, KUH represents participantsi?½ forecasts to be consistent with both uncertainties. KUH thus enables models of aggregate outcomes that 1) are premised on market participantsi?½ rationality, and 2) accord a role to both fundamental and psychological (and other non-fundamental) factors in driving outcomes. The paper also suggests how a KUH modeli?½s quantitative predictions can be confronted with time-series data.
