Immunity to Chaos: How Personal Resources Help Us Cope with the Challenges of a Turbulent World
International conflicts, crises and digital overload—the modern world puts our minds to the test every day. Traditional psychology often focuses on the consequences: anxiety, depression, and psychosomatic disorders. But what if we looked at the problem differently—through the lens of the resources that prevent us from breaking down? Psychological immunity is precisely this set of resources. Alena Zolotareva and her group, Psychological Immunity as a Resource for Positive Functioning, are developing an integrative model of this phenomenon, adapting diagnostic tools and preparing for large-scale empirical research. Why do psychologists need to collaborate with medical professionals, and how could their research transform preventive care in clinics and corporations?

‘Balkan Hospitality Opens Doors: Studying Dialects on the Verge of Extinction
You cannot study spoken dialects from books. Instead, you need to go to a village, seek out its elders, and earn the trust of local residents before you can record hours of spontaneous stories. This is how Natalia Muravleva, Associate Professor at the Faculty of Humanities, conducts her research. Her internship in Serbia continued her long-standing study of dialects spoken by Macedonian settlers. In this interview, she discusses how diaspora cultural centres help researchers reach informants, why native speakers need to be interviewed only in their own language (otherwise, as she puts it, they may 'break'), and how a single field season helped her finalise her monograph. She also shares warm memories of autumn in Belgrade and of colleagues with whom grammar can be discussed in three languages at once.

A note on observational equivalence of micro assumptions on macro level

Economics: The Open-Access, Open-Assessment E-Journal. 2020. Vol. 14. P. 1–15.
Ponomarenko A. A.

The author set up a simplistic agent-based model where agents learn with reinforcement observing an incomplete set of variables. The model is employed to generate an artificial dataset that is used to estimate standard macro econometric models. The author shows that the results are qualitatively indistinguishable (in terms of the signs and significances of the coefficients and impulse-responses) from the results obtained with a dataset that emerges in a genuinely rational system.

Up and Down the Mount Stupid: An Emotional Explanation of the Dunning-Kruger Effect
Vorchik A., Мамышев М. А., / Series Social Science Research Network "Social Science Research Network". 2025.
In this paper, we develop a formal mathematical model aimed to explain the Dunning-Kruger effect that beginners systematically overestimate their own competence in various fields of knowledge and activity. We argue that the Dunning-Kruger effect arises from the emotional nature of confidence combined with unknown unknowns that it simply can not take into account due ...

Mansurov K., Semenov A., Dmitry Grigoriev et al., Expert Systems with Applications 2023 Vol. 232 Article 120567
In this paper we investigate the role of self-learning agents in multi-agent models of financial markets. We develop an agent-based simulation model of a financial market and, in addition to the agents with fixed strategies used in previous research, we introduce an agent with a self-learning strategy. To model the behavior of such an agent, ...

In this paper, we consider the approach of applying state-of-the-art machine learning algorithms to simulate some financial markets. In this case, we choose the cryptocurrency market based on the assumption that such markets more active today. As a rule, they have more volatility, attracting riskier traders. Considering classic trading strategies, we also introduce an agent with a ...

Pseudo-collusion in a centralized algorithmic financial market
Pastushkov A., Boulatov A., Finance Research Letters 2025 Vol. 83 Article 107671
Recent studies have increasingly explored whether reinforcement learning algorithms can give rise to cooperative behavior that results in non-competitive pricing across various market settings. In financial markets, Cartea et al. (2022) show that market makers using multi-armed bandit (MAB) algorithms generally converge to competitive pricing in quote-driven over-the-counter (OTC) markets, barring some unlikely exceptions where ...

Agent-Based Model of Protest Campaign with Dynamic Network
Petrov A., Sergey Zheglov, Akhremenko A. S., , in: 2024 17th International Conference on Management of Large-Scale System Development (MLSD).: IEEE, 2024. Ch. 1 P. 1–4.
Agent-based models on networks most often assume static networks. However, in some contexts political science provides arguments that the dynamical character of the network should be taken into account. Specifically, during a protest campaign, new social ties between the participants may occur. Here we present an agent-based model of protest campaign and some numerical experiments with it. It is shown that ...

The Forward Guidance Puzzle and Anchored Inflation Expectations
Drobysheva A., Merzlyakov S., Ekonomicheskaya Politika 2024 Vol. 19 No. 6 P. 6–25
In recent years, central banks have turned to forward guidance as a key tool of monetary policy. However, standard DSGE models overestimate the impact of forward guidance on the economy, a phenomenon known as the “forward guidance puzzle.” In the model employed, the reaction of firms to a central bank’s announcements depends on the degree ...

Generative Flow Networks as Entropy-Regularized RL
Tiapkin D., Morozov N., Naumov A. et al., , in: Proceedings of The 27th International Conference on Artificial Intelligence and Statistics (AISTATS 2024), 2-4 May 2024, Palau de Congressos, Valencia, Spain. PMLR: Volume 238Vol. 238.: Valencia: PMLR, 2024. P. 4213–4221.
The recently proposed generative flow networks (GFlowNets) are a method of training a policy to sample compositional discrete objects with probabilities proportional to a given reward via a sequence of actions. GFlowNets exploit the sequential nature of the problem, drawing parallels with reinforcement learning (RL). Our work extends the connection between RL and GFlowNets to ...

Strategizing with AI: Insights from a Beauty Contest Experiment
Dagaev D., Paklina S., Parshakov P., / Series Social Science Research Network "Social Science Research Network". 2024.
A Keynesian beauty contest is a wide class of games of guessing the most popular strategy among other players. In particular, guessing a fraction of a mean of numbers chosen by all players is a classic behavioral experiment designed to test level-k reasoning patterns among various groups of people. The previous literature reveals that the ...

The influence of Internet communication on “street” protest activity is the focus of this paper. In recent years, there has been some stagnation in this area of research: a shortage of breakthrough works that indicate new research directions or at least significantly strengthen the empirical foundation of already established hypotheses. The paradox is that when ...
