Factor-Adjusted Downside Beta in Supply Chain Equity Pairs
Relationship comparison
Do directed economic edge weights explain downside return dependence better than global network centrality after market and sector factor residualization?
Tests whether factor-purged downside return dependence across four directed commercial relationships is better characterized by edge-level economic exposure than by global degree centrality.
Next-Day Return Prediction with Directional Supply Chain Exposure
Event exposure
Do direction-specific economic exposure weights improve measurement of next-day return-shock transmission across supplier-customer relationships relative to binary connectivity or relationship size?
Tests whether directional Supplier Revenue % and Customer Cost % weights improve short-horizon cross-firm residual-return transmission models relative to binary connectivity and relationship size.
Cointegrated Basket Selection with Weighted Supply Chain Data
Relationship comparison
Can point-in-time supplier-customer relationships regularize cointegration search and improve out-of-sample equilibrium stability?
Tests whether point-in-time supply-chain constraints improve out-of-sample cointegration stability relative to unrestricted statistical selection.
Data-Center Ghost Demand: Measure Conversion to Equipment Orders
Event exposure
Which project-to-procurement conversion measures distinguish speculative power requests from equipment demand?
Separate utility requests, funded projects and signed procurement when evaluating cancellations, rather than treating megawatts in a queue as supplier revenue.
Supplier Recall Exposure: Liability, Demand and Repair Orders
Event exposure
How can a recall screen distinguish suppliers at risk of liability from suppliers exposed only to demand changes or repair orders?
Distinguish defective-component liability, stopped production and replacement-part demand, then scale the affected product portion of a customer relationship.
Europe's Missile Bottleneck Starts Upstream of Final Assembly
Event exposure
Which upstream component layers become the binding constraints as Europe tries to manufacture cheaper missiles in volumes measured in thousands?
Europe's push toward cheaper, mass-producible missiles shifts the capacity question from final assembly toward rocket motors, energetic materials, seekers, guidance, actuators, and other qualified upstream components.
GE Aerospace's $11.75 Billion CPP Deal Targets a Casting Bottleneck
Event exposure
Why was GE Aerospace willing to pay $11.75 billion for Consolidated Precision Products, and what does the deal imply about qualified turbine casting capacity across aerospace and power?
GE Aerospace's planned $11.75 billion CPP acquisition shows how qualified precision casting capacity is becoming a strategic bottleneck across aerospace engines and industrial gas turbines.
Japan Remains Critical to Advanced Semiconductor Manufacturing
Dependency asymmetry
Where does Japanese supplier concentration sit inside advanced semiconductor manufacturing beyond ASML lithography?
TSMC, Samsung, Intel, and Micron share exposure to Japanese suppliers across materials, coating, etch, cleaning, inspection, wafers, and packaging.
Look-Ahead Bias in Equity Backtests Using Current Supply Chain Data
Network path
How much does backfilling a current commercial network into historical periods distort weighted network signals, rankings, turnover, and backtest return paths relative to point-in-time network data?
Measures look-ahead contamination caused by projecting a current commercial network backward into historical backtests using eight relationships and quarterly point-in-time Altsets observations from 2021 through 2026.
South Korea's Central Asia Mineral Strategy Still Depends on Processing
Event exposure
Which Central Asian critical-mineral supply chains can realistically diversify South Korea's semiconductor, battery, auto, nuclear, and industrial inputs?
South Korea's first Central Asia summit highlights a narrower critical-minerals opportunity centered on uranium, tungsten, molybdenum, copper, and the processing capacity needed to turn regional geology into qualified industrial supply.
