The focus of my talk is on distribution networks. In these networks, manufacturers and distributors work closely together to ensure consumers have access to goods and services. First, I will present a novel dataset, the ARCOS, which is still unexplored by the scientific community. This collects nearly half a billion records of opioid shipments in…

Ob Innenpolitikressort, Sport oder Kultur - eine Prise Wissenschaft würzt jeden Beitrag. Und das ohne großen Aufwand. In diesem Workshop wollen wir zeigen, wie. Die Wissenschaftsjournalistin Denise Hruby öffnet in diesem Workshop ihre Toolbox und zeigt, mit welchen Tipps und Tricks die Zusammenarbeit von Journalist:innen und Wissenschafter:innen erfolgreich verläuft. Die preisgekrönte Journalistin ist für internationale…

Abstract: We propose an agent-based input-output model of the EU. We make input-output analysis dynamic by linking it to an agent-based model of the capital sector, in which heterogeneous capital firms engage in innovation to improve capital productivity. I will discuss how our method affects the predictions of future resource extraction compared to a static…

Abstract: A recent study by Castro Torres and Alburez-Gutierrez (2022) shows that social sciences studies using data from the global North (Europe and North America) are less likely to contextualize their title than studies from the global South. The authors conclude that this omission of geo-contextualization from the global North could potentially constitute an unwarranted…

Title: "Empirical Structure of U.S. Business Firms"   Abstract: Nearly 4 dozen empirical patterns and gross regularities have been discovered in recent years in firm-level micro-data (derived from tax filings, primarily) for the 5-6 million American businesses that employ workers each year. These include power law distributions of firm sizes, labor productivities, importer and exporter…

About The mathematical laws of life manifest scaling regularities such as the relationship between mass and metabolism for the smallest to the largest organisms on Earth. These laws lack essential components representing interaction between organisms while sharing limited resources. Once accounted for, these components can bring significant variation to the predicted demographic laws using just…

Professor Dr. Khaled El Emam will present a talk on Monday, March 20, 2023 at 3 PM in the Salon.   If you would like to attend the talk, please send an email to office@csh.ac.at.   Title: "A Synthetic Data Augmentation Approach for Mitigating Covariate Bias in Health Data"   Abstract:   Data bias (covariate…

Many complex systems feature multilateral interactions that change over time. These systems are faithfully represented as evolving hypergraphs: Graphs in which nodes or edges can be added, modified, or deleted, and any number of nodes can participate in an edge. In this talk, I will present ongoing work on methods to explore evolving hypergraphs, illustrated…
