We first consider a network populated solely by active utility users, who finance network activity through a steady exogenous inflow of fiat currency. We prove the existe… arXiv — econ.GN (General Economics preprints) · 21 Jul 2026 Research & science Faithful Decoding arXiv:2607.17073v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: This paper studies transformations that increase efficiency in solving equilibrium systems without information loss. Our approach exploits order-theoretic structure commonly found in economic problems to obtain conditions under which high-dimensional systems can be transformed into low-dimensional systems while preserving exact relationships betwe… arXiv — econ.GN (General Economics preprints) · 21 Jul 2026 Research & science Social Integration and Housing Behaviours of Immigrants: Evidence from Singapore's Public Housing Market arXiv:2607.17633v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: This study investigates the impact of social integration on immigrants' housing behaviours from a temporal perspective, using Singapore's differential public housing policies on immigrants as a quasi-natural experiment. With the support of a local town council, we conducted a survey on social integration among 1,128 immigrant and local households … arXiv — econ.GN (General Economics preprints) · 21 Jul 2026 Research & science Ageing in which place? Spatial analytical framework for evaluating ageing-in-place practices arXiv:2607.17649v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Over the past decade, governments around the world have made significant investments in creating elderly-friendly urban environments within local neighborhoods. However, the lack of a standardized evaluation framework for Ageing-in-Place (AIP) practices makes it challenging to generalize these experiences. First, we compare the AIP models of the U… arXiv — econ.GN (General Economics preprints) · 21 Jul 2026 Research & science A Gate-and-Menu Theory of Collective Tourism Brand Value arXiv:2607.17827v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: A collective tourism brand is jointly produced by assets managed by different custodians, so destination managers must decide which assets require collective protection. We model a destination as a gate times a menu. The gate combines essential inputs and non-reproducible anchors as a weaker-link public good; the menu combines many reproducible at… arXiv — econ.GN (General Economics preprints) · 21 Jul 2026 Research & science Reinforcement Learning-Guided NSGA-II Enhanced with Gray Relational Coefficient for Multi-Objective Optimization: Application to NASDAQ Portfolio Optimization arXiv:2607.16194v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: In modern financial markets, decision-makers increasingly rely on quantitative methods to navigate complex trade-offs among multiple, often conflicting objectives.
