The purpose of the paper is to analyze the housing security policy for rural immigrant workers in Chinese cities and its performance, to contribute the policy frame for solving the housing problems of immigrant workers. Investigation method and public policy analyses are jointly applied in...

As the largest developing country in the world, China is experiencing fast development in e-commerce, and its online marketplace has rapidly taken shape. In this research, we examine the price levels, menu costs, and price dispersions of books and CDs in China. We collected data from ten online...

Inspired by the local minority game, we propose a network Boolean game and investigate its dynamical properties on scale-free networks. The system can self-organize to a stable state with better performance than the random choice game, although only the local information is available to each...

As a typical representation of complex systems studied relatively thoroughly, financial market presents some special details, such as its nonconservation and opinions’ spreading. In this model, agents congregate to form some clusters, which may grow or collapse with the evolution of the...

Inspired by scientific collaboration networks (SCN), especially our empirical analysis of econophysicists network, an evolutionary model for weighted networks is proposed. Besides a new vertex added in at every time step, old vertices can also attempt to build up new links, or to reconnect the...

In this paper, we propose a novel method to compute the similarity between congeneric nodes in bipartite networks. Different from the standard cosine similarity, we take into account the influence of a node’s degree. Substituting this new definition of similarity for the standard cosine...

In this article, we propose a mixing navigation mechanism, which interpolates between random-walk and shortest-path protocol. The navigation efficiency can be remarkably enhanced via a few routers. Some advanced strategies are also designed: For non-geographical scale-free networks, the targeted...

Network's resilience to the malfunction of its components has been of great concern. The goal of this work is to determine the network design guidelines, which maximizes the network efficiency while keeping the cost of the network (that is the average connectivity) constant. With a global...

Recommender systems represent an important tool for news distribution on the Internet. In this work we modify a recently proposed social recommendation model in order to deal with no explicit ratings of users on news. The model consists of a network of users which continually adapts in order to...

A parsimonious percolation model for stock market is proposed, of which the avalanche dynamics agree with the real-life one as well. We have also investigated how the interaction parameter p affects the price dynamics. Simulation results about the formation of the bullish/bearish market and...
