Our study delves into the impact of increased competition in the labor market on workers' wages using a panel dataset from Chinese industrial firms spanning 1998 to 2013. Employing OLS and IV regressions, we demonstrate that a decrease in employer concentration is significantly linked to higher wages. The elasticities of employer concentration on wages fall within the range of −0.034 and −0.107. Additionally, our findings suggest that state-owned enterprises gained the most from this upswing in competition, primarily due to restructuring.

This is especially true for knowledge graph embedding (KGE) based methods where a drug-disease indication is linked only by information gleaned from a vector representation. Complementary pathwalking algorithms can increase the confidence of drug repurposing candidates by traversing a knowledge graph. However, these methods heavily weigh the relatedness of drugs, through their targets, pharmacology or shared diseases. Furthermore, these methods can rely on arbitrarily extracted paths as evidence of a compound to disease indication and lack the ability to make predictions on rare diseases. In this paper, we evaluate seven link prediction methods on a vast biomedical knowledge graph for drug repurposing. We follow the principle of consilience, and combine the reasoning paths and predictions provided by path-based reasoning approaches with those of KGE methods to identify putative drug repurposing indications. Finally, we highlight the utility of our approach through a potential repurposing indication.</p>","PeriodicalId":47700,"journal":{"name":"Industrial Relations","volume":"40 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-08-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11326126/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85061822","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
