Does Algorithmic Recommendation Weaken Consumers' Original Preferences? -- An Economic Analysis Based on Information Constraints

Abstract: The paper explores the topic of whether algorithmic recommendation systems radically change the preferences of consumers by constraining information. We construct a theoretical model of search costs, dynamic learning and endogenous preference formation, in which algorithms act as information intermediaries that selectively filter information about available options in a systematic manner. On the basis of extensive e-commerce purchases records of 35,874 purchases made by 1,000 participants over a … Read More

Research on Defi Lending Forecasting based on GRA and Rolling GM(1,N) Model

Abstract: This paper investigates the short-term dynamics of decentralised lending conditions on Aave, a leading DeFi pooled lending protocol whose rapid TVL growth has made its variable interest-rate mechanism systemically relevant for on-chain investors and risk managers.
