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.

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.
