Recently, environmental, social, and governance (ESG) has become an importantfactor in companies' sustainable development. Artificial intelligence (AI) isalso a core digital technology that can create innovative, sustainable,comprehensive, and resilient environments. ESG- and AI-based digitaltransformation is a relevant strategy for managing business value andsustainability in corporate green management operations. Therefore, this studyexamines how corporate sustainability relates to ESG- and AI-based digitaltransformation. Furthermore, it confirms the moderating effect of greeninnovation on the process of increasing sustainability. To achieve the purposeof this study, 359 data points collected for hypothesis testing were used forstatistical analysis and for mobile business platform users. The followingconclusions are drawn. (1) ESG activities have become key variables that enablesustainable corporate growth. Companies can implement eco-friendly operatingprocesses through ESG activities. (2) This study verifies the relationshipbetween AI-based digital transformation and corporate sustainability andconfirms that digital transformation positively affects corporatesustainability. In addition, societal problems can be identified andenvironmental accidents prevented through technological innovation. (3) Thisstudy does not verify the positive moderating effect of green innovation;however, it emphasizes its necessity and importance. Although green innovationimproves performance only in the long term, it is a key factor for companiespursuing sustainable growth. This study reveals that ESG- and AI-based digitaltransformation is an important tool for promoting corporate sustainability,broadening the literature in related fields and providing insights forcorporate management and government policymakers to advance corporatesustainability.

In October 2011, Denmark introduced the world's first and, to date, only taxtargeting saturated fat. However, this tax was subsequently abolished inJanuary 2013. Leveraging exogenous variation from untaxed Northern-Germanconsumers, we employ a difference-in-differences approach to estimate thecausal effects of both the implementation and repeal of the tax on consumptionand expenditure behavior across eight product categories targeted by the tax.Our findings reveal significant heterogeneity in the tax's impact across theseproducts. During the taxed period, there was a notable decline in consumptionof bacon, liver sausage, salami, and cheese, particularly among low-incomehouseholds. In contrast, expenditure on butter, cream, margarine, and sourcream increased as prices rose. Interestingly, we do not observe any differencein expenditure increases between high and low-income households, suggestingthat the latter were disproportionately affected by the tax. After the repealof the tax, we do not observe any significant decline in consumption. On thecontrary, there was an overall increase in consumption for certain products,prompting concerns about unintended consequences resulting from the briefimplementation of the tax.
2011 年 10 月,丹麦推出了世界上首个也是迄今为止唯一一个针对饱和脂肪的税收。但这一税收随后于 2013 年 1 月被取消。利用来自未征税的北丹麦消费者的外生变量,我们采用差分法估算了该税的实施和废除对该税所针对的八类产品的消费和支出行为的因果效应。在征税期间,熏肉、肝肠、萨拉米香肠和奶酪的消费量明显下降,尤其是低收入家庭。相比之下,黄油、奶油、人造奶油和酸奶油的消费则随着价格的上涨而增加。有趣的是,我们没有观察到高收入家庭和低收入家庭在支出增长上有任何差异,这表明后者受该税的影响不成比例。税收取消后,我们没有观察到消费的显著下降。相反,某些产品的消费却出现了整体增长,这引发了人们对该税短暂实施所导致的意外后果的担忧。

Offshore wind power in the North Sea is considered a main pillar in Europe'sfuture energy system. A key challenge lies in determining the optimal spatialcapacity allocation of offshore wind parks in combination with the dimensioningand layout of the connecting high-voltage direct current grid infrastructure.To determine economically cost optimal configurations, we apply an integratedcapacity and transmission expansion problem within a pan-European electricitymarket and transmission grid model with a high spatial and temporalgranularity. By conducting scenario analysis for the year 2030 with a graduallyincreasing CO2 price, possible offshore expansion paths are derived andpresented. Special emphasis is laid on the effects of weather uncertainty byincorporating data from 21 historical weather years in the analysis. Two keyfindings are (i) an expansion in addition to the existing offshore windcapacity of 0 GW (136 EUR/tCO2), 12 GW (159 EUR/tCO2) and 30 GW (186 EUR/tCO2)dependent on the underlying CO2 price. (ii) A strong sensitivity of the resultstowards the underlying weather data highlighting the importance ofincorporating multiple weather years.
北海的海上风电被认为是欧洲未来能源系统的主要支柱。一个关键的挑战在于确定海上风电场的最佳空间容量分配,并结合连接的高压直流电网基础设施的尺寸和布局。为了确定经济上成本最优的配置,我们在一个具有高空间和时间粒度的泛欧电力市场和输电网模型中应用了一个综合容量和传输扩展问题。通过对二氧化碳价格逐渐上升的2030年进行情景分析,推导并提出了可能的海上扩张路径。通过在分析中纳入21个历史天气年的数据,特别强调了天气不确定性的影响。两个关键发现是:(i)根据潜在的二氧化碳价格,在现有的0吉瓦(136欧元/吨二氧化碳)、12吉瓦(159欧元/吨二氧化碳)和30吉瓦(186欧元/吨二氧化碳)海上风电容量的基础上进行扩张。(ii)结果对基础天气资料的敏感度较强,突出了结合多个天气年的重要性。

In economic modeling, there has been an increasing investigation intomulti-agent simulators. Nevertheless, state-of-the-art studies establish themodel based on reinforcement learning (RL) exclusively for specific agentcategories, e.g., households, firms, or the government. It lacks concerns overthe resulting adaptation of other pivotal agents, thereby disregarding thecomplex interactions within a real-world economic system. Furthermore, we payattention to the vital role of the government policy in distributing taxcredits. Instead of uniform distribution considered in state-of-the-art, itrequires a well-designed strategy to reduce disparities among households andimprove social welfare. To address these limitations, we propose an expansivemulti-agent economic model comprising reinforcement learning agents of numeroustypes. Additionally, our research comprehensively explores the impact of taxcredit allocation on household behavior and captures the spectrum of spendingpatterns that can be observed across diverse households. Further, we propose aninnovative government policy to distribute tax credits, strategicallyleveraging insights from tax credit spending patterns. Simulation resultsillustrate the efficacy of the proposed government strategy in amelioratinginequalities across households.
在经济建模中,对多智能体模拟器的研究越来越多。然而,最先进的研究建立了基于强化学习(RL)的模型,专门针对特定的代理类别,例如家庭,公司或政府。它缺乏对其他关键因素的适应性的关注,从而忽视了现实世界经济系统中复杂的相互作用。此外,我们注意到政府政策在分配税收抵免中的重要作用。它需要一个精心设计的战略,以减少家庭之间的差距,提高社会福利,而不是最先进的均匀分配。为了解决这些限制,我们提出了一个扩展的多智能体经济模型,该模型包含多种类型的强化学习智能体。此外,我们的研究全面探讨了税收抵免分配对家庭行为的影响,并捕捉了可以在不同家庭中观察到的支出模式的频谱。此外,我们提出了一项创新的政府政策来分配税收抵免,战略性地利用税收抵免支出模式的见解。模拟结果说明了所提出的政府策略在改善家庭间不平等方面的有效性。

The objective of this research was to determine the degree of knowledge thatthe inhabitants of the Guadalajara Metropolitan Area (made up of themunicipalities Guadalajara, Tlajomulco de Z'u~niga, Tlaquepaque, Zapopan andTonal'a) had regarding tequila and the brands produced in Los Altos ofJalisco. For this, a survey consisting of five questions was designed, whichwas applied in the central square, center or z'ocalo of each municipality. Theresults show that the big brands, when acquired by international companies,focused their attention on capturing the consumer in international markets,since the prices of the same products that they export have been out of thepocket of those who like That drink, so it could be considered that the bigbrands, have left the national market a little behind, of course they did notabandon it completely, but it stopped being their main objective. Therefore, itcan be concluded that the national market is the window of opportunity to jointhe small and still unknown producers to work together and in a grouped way,they are able to standardize a series of products that being of the samequality and same packaging, they can cover the national market, and perhaps, inthe future, become a large company distributed throughout the territory andbegin the export process only with national capital.
这项研究的目的是确定瓜达拉哈拉大都会区(由瓜达拉哈拉、特拉乔木尔科、特拉克帕克、萨帕潘和塔托尼亚等市组成)的居民对龙舌兰酒和哈利斯科州洛斯阿尔托斯生产的品牌的了解程度。为此,设计了一份由五个问题组成的调查问卷,并在每个城市的中心广场、中心或广场进行了调查。结果表明,当大品牌被国际公司收购时,他们的注意力集中在捕捉国际市场的消费者上,因为他们出口的相同产品的价格已经超出了那些喜欢那种饮料的人的口袋,所以可以认为大品牌已经把国内市场抛在了后面,当然他们并没有完全抛弃它,但它不再是他们的主要目标。因此,可以得出结论,全国市场是机会之窗,加入小的和仍然未知的生产者一起工作,并以一种分组的方式,他们能够标准化的一系列产品,是相同的质量和相同的包装,他们可以覆盖全国市场,也许,在未来,成为一个大公司分布在整个领土,并开始出口过程只有国家资本。

Epistemic Limits of Empirical Finance: Causal Reductionism and Self-Reference 实证金融的认知极限:因果还原论与自我参照
Pub Date : 2023-11-28 DOI: arxiv-2311.16570

The clarion call for causal reduction in the study of capital markets isintensifying. However, in self-referencing and open systems such as capitalmarkets, the idea of unidirectional causation (if applicable) may be limitingat best, and unstable or fallacious at worst. In this research, we criticallyassess the use of scientific deduction and causal inference within the study ofempirical finance and econometrics. We then demonstrate the idea of competingcausal chains using a toy model adapted from ecological predator/preyrelationships. From this, we develop the alternative view that the study ofempirical finance, and the risks contained therein, may be better appreciatedonce we admit that our current arsenal of quantitative finance tools may belimited to ex post causal inference under popular assumptions. Where theseassumptions are challenged, for example in a recognizable reflexive context,the prescription of unidirectional causation proves deeply problematic.
减少对资本市场研究的因果关系的呼声日益高涨。然而,在自我参照和开放的系统中,如资本市场,单向因果关系的想法(如果适用)往好了说可能是有限的,往坏了说可能是不稳定或谬误的。在本研究中,我们批判性地评估了实证金融学和计量经济学研究中科学演绎和因果推理的使用。然后,我们使用一个从生态捕食者/猎物关系改编的玩具模型来展示竞争因果链的概念。由此,我们提出了另一种观点,即一旦我们承认我们目前的量化金融工具库可能仅限于在流行假设下的事后因果推理,那么对实证金融及其所包含的风险的研究可能会得到更好的理解。当这些假设受到挑战时,例如在可识别的反射环境中,单向因果关系的处方被证明是有问题的。

I present new evidence of the effects of climate shocks on political violenceand social unrest. Using granular conflict and weather data covering the entirecontinent of Africa from 1997 to 2023, I find that exposure to El Ni~no eventsduring the crop-growing season decreases political violence targeted atcivilians during the early postharvest season. A moderate-strength El Ni~noevent results in a three percent reduction in political violence with civiliantargeting in croplands compared with the benchmark levels of this conflictevaluated at average cropland size and average growing-season exposure of localweather to El Ni~no shocks. Because this effect manifests itself only in cellswith crop agriculture and only during the postharvest season supports the ideathat agriculture is the key channel and rapacity is the key motive connectingclimatic shocks and political violence. Reassuringly, the magnitude of theestimated effect increases substantially, in one instance more than doubles,when I use subsets of data that are better suited for unveiling the proposedmechanism. This study advances knowledge of the relationship between climateand conflict. And because El Ni~no events can be predicted several months inadvance, these findings can contribute to creating a platform for early warningof political violence, specifically in predominantly agrarian societies inAfrica.
我提出了气候冲击对政治暴力和社会动荡影响的新证据。利用1997年至2023年覆盖整个非洲大陆的精细冲突和天气数据,我发现,在作物生长季节受到厄尔尼诺事件的影响,会减少收获后早期针对平民的政治暴力。与该冲突的基准水平相比,中等强度的厄尔尼诺事件导致以农田为目标的政治暴力事件减少了3%,这是根据平均农田面积和当地天气对厄尔尼诺事件的平均生长季节暴露程度来评估的。因为这种效应只在有作物农业的细胞中表现出来,而且只在收获后季节表现出来,这支持了农业是关键渠道,而贪婪是连接气候冲击和政治暴力的关键动机的观点。令人放心的是,当我使用更适合揭示所提议机制的数据子集时,估计效果的幅度大大增加,在一个实例中增加了一倍以上。这项研究促进了对气候与冲突之间关系的认识。由于厄尔尼诺事件可以提前几个月预测,这些发现可以为政治暴力的早期预警提供一个平台,特别是在非洲以农业为主的社会。

As artificial intelligence (AI) is integrated into various services andsystems in society, many companies and organizations have proposed AIprinciples, policies, and made the related commitments. Conversely, some haveproposed the need for independent audits, arguing that the voluntary principlesadopted by the developers and providers of AI services and systemsinsufficiently address risk. This policy recommendation summarizes the issuesrelated to the auditing of AI services and systems and presents threerecommendations for promoting AI auditing that contribute to sound AIgovernance. Recommendation1.Development of institutional design for AI audits.Recommendation2.Training human resources for AI audits. Recommendation3.Updating AI audits in accordance with technological progress. In this policy recommendation, AI is assumed to be that which recognizes andpredicts data with the last chapter outlining how generative AI should beaudited.
随着人工智能(AI)融入到社会的各种服务和系统中,许多公司和组织提出了人工智能的原则、政策,并做出了相关的承诺。相反,一些人提出有必要进行独立审计,认为人工智能服务和系统的开发者和提供商采用的自愿原则不足以解决风险。本政策建议总结了与人工智能服务和系统审计相关的问题,并提出了三项促进人工智能审计的建议,这些建议有助于健全的人工智能治理。Recommendation1。人工智能审计制度设计的发展。建议2。培训人工智能审计的人力资源。Recommendation3。根据技术进步更新人工智能审计。在本政策建议中,人工智能被认为是识别和预测数据的,最后一章概述了如何美化生成人工智能。

Process mining has become one of the best programs that can outline the eventlogs of production processes in visualized detail. We have addressed theimportant problem that easily occurs in the industrial process calledBottleneck. The analysis process was focused on extracting the bottlenecks inthe production line to improve the flow of production. Given enough storedhistory logs, the field of process mining can provide a suitable answer tooptimize production flow by mitigating bottlenecks in the production stream.Process mining diagnoses the productivity processes by mining event logs, thiscan help to expose the opportunities to optimize critical production processes.We found that there is a considerable bottleneck in the process because of theweaving activities. Through discussions with specialists, it was agreed thatthe main problem in the weaving processes, especially machines that wereexhausted in overloading processes. The improvement in the system has measuredby teamwork; the cycle time for process has improved to 91%, the worker'sperformance has improved to 96%,product quality has improved by 85%, and leadtime has optimized from days and weeks to hours.
过程挖掘已经成为最好的程序之一,它可以以可视化的细节勾勒出生产过程的事件日志。我们解决了工业生产过程中容易出现的重要问题——瓶颈。分析过程的重点是找出生产线上的瓶颈,以改善生产流程。给定足够的存储历史日志,流程挖掘领域可以通过减轻生产流中的瓶颈来提供优化生产流的合适答案。流程挖掘通过挖掘事件日志来诊断生产力流程,这有助于暴露优化关键生产流程的机会。我们发现,由于编织活动,在这个过程中存在相当大的瓶颈。通过与专家的讨论,大家一致认为织造工艺的主要问题,特别是机器在超载过程中筋疲力尽。系统的改进是通过团队合作来衡量的;工艺周期提高到91%,工人的工作效率提高到96%,产品质量提高了85%,交货时间从几天、几周优化到几小时。
