TL;DR: In this article, the authors study networks of firms in which inputs for production are not easily substitutable, as in several real-world supply chains, and find that the distribution of firm sizes develops a power-law tail, as observed empirically.
Abstract: Will a large economy be stable? Building on Robert May's original argument for large ecosystems, we conjecture that evolutionary and behavioural forces conspire to drive the economy towards marginal stability. We study networks of firms in which inputs for production are not easily substitutable, as in several real-world supply chains. Relying on results from random matrix theory, we argue that such networks generically become dysfunctional when their size increases, when the heterogeneity between firms becomes too strong, or when substitutability of their production inputs is reduced. At marginal stability and for large heterogeneities, we find that the distribution of firm sizes develops a power-law tail, as observed empirically. Crises can be triggered by small idiosyncratic shocks, which lead to ``avalanches'' of defaults characterized by a power-law distribution of total output losses. This scenario would naturally explain the well-known ``small shocks, large business cycles'' puzzle, as anticipated long ago by Bak, Chen, Scheinkman, and Woodford.

TL;DR: Assessment of perceptual compensation for assimilation rules in a model of striatal disorders, namely in the early stages of Huntington's disease, challenges the striatum-rule claim and suggest a more fine-grained function ofstriatal structures in linguistic rule processing.

TL;DR: Normal dextrals performed tactilo-kinesthetic bisection tasks in a median position, but instead of pseudoneglect phenomenon, a deviation of the subjective middle to the side opposite to the direction of gaze and hand use was found, whichever hand was used.

TL;DR: In this article, the relations between ordinariness and citizenship processes are explored empirically and analytically along two different lines: empirically exploring certain uses of ordininess as a political category, and in a second, briefer, part, it proposes a discussion of the gains to be obtained in citizenship studies, from using ordinarness as a category of analysis.
Abstract: This paper explores the relations between ordinariness and citizenship processes along two different lines. It first aims at empirically exploring certain uses of ordinariness as a political category. While it is often used as a depoliticisation tool, the two case studies analysed here underline on the contrary its politicising potential. In a second, briefer, part, it proposes a discussion of the gains to be obtained in citizenship studies, from using ordinariness as a category of analysis. Approaching citizenship processes ‘from the ordinary’ is a fruitful perspective from which the political dimensions of usually unseen or unheard practices and sites can be grasped. What connects the two discussions presented here is the complex and paradoxical relationship the two categories of ordinariness and politics entertain, both empirically and analytically.

TL;DR: In this paper, the structure of the Hopf algebra of matroids with restriction-contraction coproduct was investigated and it was shown that the subalgebra generated by a single point and a single loop in the dual of Hopf is free.
Abstract: This paper is an initial inquiry into the structure of the Hopf algebra of matroids with restriction-contraction coproduct. Using a family of matroids introduced by Crapo in 1965, we show that the subalgebra generated by a single point and a single loop in the dual of this Hopf algebra is free.
