This study focuses on\u0000analyzing the legal implications of the decentralized nature of DAOs, with a\u0000particular emphasis on the aspects of participant liability. Such\u0000considerations are essential for understanding how current legal systems might\u0000be adapted or reformed to effectively address these novel challenges. The paper examines the specificity of DAOs, highlighting their decentralized\u0000governance structure and reliance on smart contracts, which introduce unique\u0000issues related to the blurring of liability boundaries. It underscores how the\u0000anonymity of DAO participants and the automatic execution of smart contracts\u0000complicate the traditional concept of legal liability, both within the DAO\u0000context and in interactions with external parties. The analysis also includes a comparison between DAOs and traditional\u0000organizational forms, such as corporations and associations, to identify\u0000potential analogies and differences in participant liability. It explores how\u0000existing regulations on partner liability might be insufficient or inapplicable\u0000in the DAO context, prompting the search for new, innovative legal solutions.","PeriodicalId":501273,"journal":{"name":"arXiv - ECON - General Economics","volume":"19 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-08-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141943483","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Our study examines how two\u0000major types of viral channels, specifically Direct Messaging (DM) and\u0000Broadcasting (BC), impact the well-known \"strength of weak ties\" in\u0000disseminating novel information across social networks. We conducted a\u0000large-scale empirical analysis, examining the sharing behavior of 500,000 users\u0000over a two-month period on a major social media platform. Our results suggest a\u0000greater capacity for DM to transmit novel information compared to BC, although\u0000DM typically involves stronger ties. Furthermore, the \"strength of weak ties\"\u0000is only evident in BC, not in DM where weaker ties do not transmit\u0000significantly more novel information. Our mechanism analysis indicates that the\u0000content selection by both senders and recipients, contingent on tie strength,\u0000contributes to the observed differences between these two channels. These\u0000findings expand both our understanding of contemporary weak tie theory and our\u0000knowledge of how to disseminate novel information in social networks.","PeriodicalId":501273,"journal":{"name":"arXiv - ECON - General Economics","volume":"26 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-08-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141943482","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We introduce new fairness criteria for multiwinner ranked-choice\u0000elections concerning truncated ballots. In particular, we define notions of the\u0000independence of losing voters blocs and independence of winning voters blocs,\u0000which state that the winning committee of an election should not change when we\u0000remove partial ballots which rank only losing candidates, and the winning\u0000committee should change in reasonable ways when removing ballots which rank\u0000only winning candidates.

By using a comprehensive firm-establishment-employee linked\u0000dataset and a difference-in-differences estimation with firm-level variation in\u0000treatment intensity, the analysis shows that the average minimum wage level\u0000reduces firms' financial leverage by about 0.5 to 0.9 percentage points,\u0000corresponding to 1 to 2 percent of the mean of financial leverage. Further\u0000investigation of the mechanism shows that the minimum wage does not lead to\u0000significant capital-labor substitution; therefore, the labor share increases.\u0000Firms react to the increased labor share by deleveraging.

That economy is organized in sectors, driven by its\u0000productivity which is a multidimensional Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process, while the\u0000climate transition is declined thanks to the carbon price, a continuous\u0000deterministic process. We then extend the sales comparison approach and the\u0000income approach to valuate an energy inefficient real estate asset. We obtain\u0000its value as the difference between the price of an equivalent efficient\u0000building following an exponential Ornstein-Uhlenbeck as well as the actualized\u0000renovation costs and the actualized sum of the future additional energy costs.\u0000These costs are due to the inefficiency of the building, before an optimal\u0000renovation date which depends on the carbon price process. Finally, we carry\u0000out simulations based on the French economy and the house price index of\u0000France.
