We develop a scan test for whether one forecast outperforms another, over an interval with unknown starting point and duration. To exploit any occasional forecasting power that the scan test detects, we design an adaptive machine learning pipelin… arXiv — econ.GN (General Economics preprints) · 15 Jul 2026 Research & science Beyond Consistent Scenarios: Deriving Indirect Influence, Transition Resistance, and Adjustment Dynamics arXiv:2607.12414v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Assessments of structural change and economic transition dynamics, such as those arising in the energy transition, depend on internally consistent qualitative scenarios specifying the policy environment, technology mix, governance arrangements, and demand conditions. Cross-Impact Balance (CIB) analysis derives such socio-technical scenarios as fix… arXiv — econ.GN (General Economics preprints) · 15 Jul 2026 Research & science Shared Bidding Algorithms and Competition: Evidence from Electricity Markets arXiv:2607.13002v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Competing firms increasingly delegate pricing and bidding decisions to algorithms supplied by the same third-party providers. We study whether a shared algorithm leads competitors to internalise one another's profits, using data from the Australian National Electricity Market, where every battery's bids are observed at 5-minute frequency and can b… arXiv — econ.GN (General Economics preprints) · 15 Jul 2026 Research & science Eigenvector rotation precedes eigenvalue-based early-warning signals: a TVP-Kalman approach to detecting critical transitions arXiv:2607.11935v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Early-warning signals (EWS) for critical transitions are predominantly based on changes in the dominant eigenvalue of the system's Jacobian-rising variance and lag-1 autocorrelation (AR(1)). However, eigenvalue-based EWS have $O(delta theta^2)$ sensitivity to perturbations, limiting their lead time. We introduce a complementary EWS based on eige… arXiv — econ.GN (General Economics preprints) · 15 Jul 2026 Research & science The U.S. Mortality Crisis as a Preston Curve Reversal arXiv:2607.06427v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: U.S. life expectancy stagnated and declined in the 2010s despite continued growth in real per capita income. We use Preston curves to characterize this pattern as a change in the relationship between income and longevity. Using state-level data from 1980 to 2019 and county-level data from 2000 to 2019, we estimate population-weighted Preston c… arXiv — econ.GN (General Economics preprints) · 15 Jul 2026 Research & science Peace Through Side Payments arXiv:2107.11575v5 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We study strategic bargaining for peaceful settlement before conflict escalates into war (modeled as an all-pay auction), comparing two protocols: offering a take-it-or-leave-it side payment versus requesting one. Unlike in mediation models, the proposer here can signal private information and influence the opponent's beliefs by varying … arXiv — econ.GN (General Economics preprints) · 15 Jul 2026 Research & science Modeling Story Expectations: A Generative Framework using LLMs arXiv:2412.15239v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Consumers' engagement with stories is shaped by their expectations about what will happen next, yet modeling these forward-looking beliefs over unstructured narrative content has remained challenging. We develop a framework that uses large language models to approximate consumers' story expectations. Our method generates multiple imagine… arXiv — econ.GN (General Economics preprints) · 15 Jul 2026 Research & science Coordination-Resolved Surrogate Models for Thermodynamic Stability, Band Gaps, and Magnetic Moments of Spinel Oxides, Sulfides, and Selenides arXiv:2607.11996v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We curated 320 cubic ($Fd\bar{3}m$) spinel entries from the Materials Project-nitrides, oxides, sulfides, and selenides, including single-cation mixed-valence $A_3X_4$ compounds-and trained tree-ensemble surrogates for the formation energy, energy above the convex hull, band gap, total magnetization, and metallicity. Cations were assigned to tetra… arXiv — cond-mat.mtrl-sci (Materials Science preprints) · 15 Jul 2026 Research & science Hyperfine Structure and Exchange Coupling of Vacancy-Induced Ce$^{3+}$ Spin Centers in Nuclear-Spin-Dilute CeO$_2$ arXiv:2607.12080v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Oxygen vacancies in ceria CeO$_2$ donate electrons that localize as Ce$^{3+}$ ($4f^1$, $S=1/2$) small polarons, creating rare-earth spin centers through native defect chemistry rather than implantation or extrinsic doping. We investigate the magnetic environment of these centers using first-principles PBE$+U$ calculations with a linear-response Hu… arXiv — cond-mat.mtrl-sci (Materials Science preprints) · 15 Jul 2026 Research & science Phase-Controlled Epitaxy and Anisotropic Antiferromagnetism of Polar Wurtzite MnTe arXiv:2607.12191v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Altermagnetic spintronics requires materials in which compensated magnetic order, symmetry-controlled electronic responses, and epitaxial tunability can be combined in experimentally accessible thin films. MnTe is a key material in this context, but experimental studies have focused mainly on the stable NiAs-type polymorph, whereas the polar wurtz… arXiv — cond-mat.mtrl-sci (Materials Science preprints) · 15 Jul 2026 Research & science Emergent toroidal induction in a polar Weyl ferromagnet arXiv:2607.12322v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Spin-orbit coupling (SOC) underpins modern spintronics by enabling the electrical generation of spin torques. Its reciprocal counterpart, in which magnetization dynamics produce electromotive forces through a spin-dependent Berry phase, is known as emergent electromagnetic induction (EEMI). However, this effect has previously been observed only in… arXiv — cond-mat.mtrl-sci (Materials Science preprints) · 15 Jul 2026 Research & science Magnetic Contributions to Phase Stability in the Co-Ni Binary: A First-Principles CALPHAD Study arXiv:2607.12388v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We propose a simple method to employ ab-initio calculations to determine magnetic contributions to free energy of alloys. Validation on the Co-Ni binary demonstrates that this ab initio approach reproduces experimental FCC-HCP phase equilibria while providing physically transparent, structure-dependent magnetic parameters suitable for multicompone… arXiv — cond-mat.mtrl-sci (Materials Science preprints) · 15 Jul 2026 Research & science Quantized Photocurrents in Gapless Topological Matter arXiv:2607.12420v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The quantum Hall effect in gapped systems represents a defining signature of nontrivial topology. Realizing this principle in gapless matter has remained a central challenge in quantum materials. Chiral topological semimetals provide a unique platform to achieve this aim via symmetry-protected multifold crossings that act as Berry-curvature monopo… arXiv — cond-mat.mtrl-sci (Materials Science preprints) · 15 Jul 2026
