From theory to empirics and back: A misunderstanding around the Veblenian dichotomy by A. V. Vernikov, A. A. Kurysheva

“…Research findings indicate that the articles by Russian institutionalists contain a systematic bias with regard to the treatment of traditional norms and values as merely ceremonial ones, implying backwardness and archaic patterns, which impede technological progress and “modernization”.Scientific novelty: the application of Veblenian analytical tools in an applied institutional study is reconsidered. …”

RCSAN residual enhanced channel spatial attention network for stock price forecasting by WenJie Sun, Ziyang Liu, ChunHong Yuan, Xiang Zhou, YuTing Pei, Cui Wei

“…Abstract This study proposes a stock price prediction model based on the Residual-enhanced Channel-Spatial Attention Network (R-CSAN), which integrates channel-spatial adaptive attention mechanisms with residual connections to effectively capture the multidimensional complex patterns in financial time series. The R-CSAN adopts an encoder-decoder architecture, where the encoder extracts feature correlations from historical data through multiple layers of channel-spatial attention modules, and the decoder incorporates a masking mechanism to prevent future information leakage and introduces a cross-attention mechanism to model inter-market correlations. …”
