Explaining The Art MArkets Thefts Frauds And Forgeries And Why The ARt MArket Does Not Seem To Care

Gregory Day

Based upon a series of interviews with art market experts, this Article identifies and answers a significant, yet previously unexplored economics puzzle affecting the art market. Economics suggests that markets typically produce efficiency and social wealth, but when they fail, most actors should prefer remedial measures over an inefficient status quo. The art market currently is, and has been, plagued with frauds, thefts, forgeries, and market failure—a state of affairs that the governing legal framework has made worse. Despite this, the art market seems to adamantly, and puzzlingly, defend its business culture, rejecting attempts to remedy inefficiencies. In other words, why has the art industry remained stable, yet fraught with market failure? The research herein finds that reliable product information is the lifeblood of efficient markets, yet the nature of art encourages many participants to withhold or conceal important market information. This often prevents prospective buyers from accurately determining a work’s value, leading to inefficient behavior. Few actors have sought change, however, because the economics of art produces a special conflict of interest: buyers expect art to appreciate in value and thus assume they will resell the work at a higher price, causing them to prefer a market favoring the sellers. This observation suggests that efficient markets require buyers and sellers to be sufficiently adverse or else incur stark inefficiencies.

Delightful Distributed Policy Gradient

Ian Osband

arXiv·2026

Distributed reinforcement learning trains on data from stale, buggy, or mismatched actors, producing actions with high surprisal (negative log-probability) under the learner's policy. The core difficulty is not surprising data per se, but \emph{negative learning from surprising data}. High-surprisal failures can dominate the update direction despite carrying little useful signal, while high-surprisal successes reveal opportunities the current policy would otherwise miss. The \textit{Delightful Policy Gradient} (DG) separates these cases by gating each update with delight, the product of advantage and surprisal, suppressing rare failures and amplifying rare successes without behavior probabilities. Under contaminated sampling, the cosine similarity between the standard policy gradient and the true gradient collapses, while DG's grows as the policy improves. No sign-blind reweighting, including exact importance sampling, can reproduce this effect. On MNIST with simulated staleness, DG without off-policy correction outperforms importance-weighted PG with exact behavior probabilities. On a transformer sequence task with staleness, actor bugs, reward corruption, and rare discovery, DG achieves roughly $10{\times}$ lower error. When all four frictions act simultaneously, its compute advantage is order-of-magnitude and grows with task complexity.

Inventing Family: Colonial Knowledge Politics of "Family" and the Coloniality of "Pro-family" Activism in Africa

Haley McEwen

Africa Today·2021

To make sense of contemporary efforts of the US conservative "pro-family" movement to advance anti-LGBTIQ+ and antifeminist agendas in Africa, this article takes a decolonial approach to the notion of the nuclear family. Beginning with the colonial history of the gender binary and hierarchy, it first discusses how the notion of the nuclear family ideal became fused with notions of race, racial hierarchy, and civilization. Its second half discusses the rise of the international pro-family movement and the colonial ideology that the movement reproduces, focusing on campaigns and networks in Africa. It identifies and examines three key elements of pro-family ideology that demonstrate the ways in which the movement reproduces colonial power relations: efforts to define, universalize, and politicizea particular conception of the family. Analysis concludes that these components of pro-family advocacy reveal that the movement's opposition to inclusive sex- and gender-based rights for LGBTIQ+ individuals reinforces Western epistemic power and authority over families and recapitulates colonial-era power relations between Global Norths and Souths.

A Review of the Important Role of CYP2D6 in Pharmacogenomics

Christopher Taylor, Ian Crosby, Vincent Yip, Peter Maguire, Munir Pirmohamed, Richard M. Turner

Genes·2020·268 citations

Cytochrome P450 2D6 (CYP2D6) is a critical pharmacogene involved in the metabolism of ~20% of commonly used drugs across a broad spectrum of medical disciplines including psychiatry, pain management, oncology and cardiology. Nevertheless, CYP2D6 is highly polymorphic with single-nucleotide polymorphisms, small insertions/deletions and larger structural variants including multiplications, deletions, tandem arrangements, and hybridisations with non-functional CYP2D7 pseudogenes. The frequency of these variants differs across populations, and they significantly influence the drug-metabolising enzymatic function of CYP2D6. Importantly, altered CYP2D6 function has been associated with both adverse drug reactions and reduced drug efficacy, and there is growing recognition of the clinical and economic burdens associated with suboptimal drug utilisation. To date, pharmacogenomic clinical guidelines for at least 48 CYP2D6-substrate drugs have been developed by prominent pharmacogenomics societies, which contain therapeutic recommendations based on CYP2D6-predicted categories of metaboliser phenotype. Novel algorithms to interpret CYP2D6 function from sequencing data that consider structural variants, and machine learning approaches to characterise the functional impact of novel variants, are being developed. However, CYP2D6 genotyping is yet to be implemented broadly into clinical practice, and so further effort and initiatives are required to overcome the implementation challenges and deliver the potential benefits to the bedside.
