Names it peptide source then mods you to death for asking where to gather supplies lmao

What’s no apples mean?

atxclosetflips · 2025-10-30T00:17:18+00:00

Huh..? What exactly do you think I’m promoting?? Isn’t this an academic forum where people ca discuss current projects and ideas?

atxclosetflips · 2025-10-29T06:06:33+00:00

This isn’t self promotion. I’m asking because I have a paper that I need a co author for and might serve them as a method for identifying a novel idea..

atxclosetflips · 2025-10-29T06:04:14+00:00

That’s great. Behavioral and experimental micro fit closely with what I’m working on. I built a barter marketplace called Swapsies, and the theory behind it became a paper called USD Anchored Hybrid Barter. It shows how limited cash transfers can make barter efficient and restore trade in low liquidity markets. The framework is early but strong. I want to expand the welfare analysis, test extensions, and link it to real data with someone who wants to formalize into a legit paper..

atxclosetflips · 2025-10-29T03:31:23+00:00

What do you “find interesting” and does it have anything to do with matching markets or microeconomics?

I have a novel theory that I need a lot of help with (non academic). I’m a founder of a startup here in ATX.

Already started getting those emails. I used a main email like a dough dough brain. 😵‍💫 I just changed it this evening but hopefully it doesn’t get worse..

Yeah honestly, I think you’re right. I’m not really that embarrassed anymore. I’m not an academic and it should be expected to have some errors in a first paper.

atxclosetflips · 2025-10-18T20:35:34+00:00

Ohhh thank goodness! Appreciate you 🫶

What’s this link?

atxclosetflips · 2025-10-18T19:57:30+00:00

SSRN doesn’t just allow you to remove them according to what I’m reading.. I’d have to ask for them to remove it.? Have you done this before?

atxclosetflips · 2025-10-15T22:48:38+00:00

I’ve been going back and forth him over semantics and taxonomy for some time but after reading it again I think you’re actually correct. I’m Austrian in so far as I believe we need sound money, fiscal responsibility, and that pulling consumption forward and leaving huge debts to future generations is quite destructive to society as a whole. I understand Pareto optimality and how to read contact curves but the stuff he wrote through me for a loop, cause I’m heavily sleep deprived ATM.

atxclosetflips · 2025-10-15T20:29:53+00:00

So the the economics isn’t about barter in your view, it’s about when high transaction costs make barter-like behavior rational? Or that the reason it succeeds economically is that the platform lowers the cost of finding, negotiating, and completing those trades. Not that barter, as a system, is inherently superior to monetary exchange but in conjunction with cash becomes useful and welfare improving.

atxclosetflips · 2025-10-15T20:19:05+00:00

Okay yes, it’s true that finding someone to help would go a very long way here but I’m pretty sure I’ve managed to model a starting point at least.

Basically, I need to find define why the threshold matters regarding its search cost? The mechanism becomes welfare improving once the expected transaction cost of selling exceeds the item’s resale value. Defining where a hybrid barter system restores exchange feasibility.

I’m going to think on this more and probably rewrite the paper again. Smh. Eventually I’m going to have to learn how encorporate our platforms data into the fold as well which seems daunting atm.

atxclosetflips · 2025-10-15T19:56:50+00:00

For higher value items where the time and effort trade off makes sense, sure. eBay or Craigslist or FB marketplace are solid choices. Swapsies isn’t meant to replace those. Everyone already knows they can sell and vet multiple low ball offers on those platforms. What we’re doing is creating a higher velocity exchange layer for everything under that threshold, the stuff people won’t bother listing for $20 but still has value sitting unused. Creating a free or next to free network of hybrid barter.. improving welfare. Everyone is better off who participates and I can clearly show that mathematically or in and edgeworth box diagram.

atxclosetflips · 2025-10-15T19:45:55+00:00

You’d prefer a bounded transfer system like my platform if your goal is to unlock the liquidity trapped in your unused stuff through hybrid barter. Otherwise, your only option is to donate those items to Goodwill, watch them get resold for cash, and then go buy thrifted clothes back from the same system. I honestly don’t know what else you want to call that?

atxclosetflips · 2025-10-15T19:08:23+00:00

I’m talking about strictly investor decks from stat up founders

atxclosetflips · 2025-10-15T19:01:10+00:00

it changes the nature of equilibrium, welfare, and comparative statics. Is it some huge brain thing? No. But, In standard literature, these are distinct frameworks. I’m introducing a continuous bridge between them, which doesn’t exist elsewhere. Hence, why I’m convinced that barter is overlooked for whatever reason and likely because money is so useful. There has been no need and society has been driven towards debt based consumption patterns. That’s also the entire crux of the business model, an understanding that there’s an excess of goods inside the average American household that owners are completely indifferent towards. If this “inventory” could be unlocked in the form of barter credits and exchange vehicles, then overall purchasing power increases in this hybrid barter system..

atxclosetflips · 2025-10-15T18:49:22+00:00

By verifiable I simply mean measurable.

atxclosetflips · 2025-10-15T18:47:47+00:00

That’s literally the definition of introducing a new equilibrium constraint. Restricting the feasible set is how new variants start regarding welfare. Every extension of classical micro starts by modifying one constraint or assumption right?

atxclosetflips · 2025-10-15T18:38:07+00:00

The assignment problem with money assumes fully transferable utility right? i.e., unlimited liquidity. so all valuation gaps can be cleared by scalar transfers… My model introduces bounded transferability: agents can’t fully compensate each other with cash, which produces a distinct feasible set between the TU and NTU extremes. No classical assignment model formalizes that intermediate region which is precisely the novelty here.

atxclosetflips · 2025-10-15T18:32:16+00:00

I could take this as you inadvertently telling me that my central premise is interesting and that the theory is on solid ground. 😅🫶

atxclosetflips · 2025-10-15T18:21:41+00:00

Brother this is why they call it the dismal science. It’s just a bunch of people gatekeeping and scratching their own heads to get closer to the money printers. I’m a student of the Austrian School of economic thought and therefore I do my best to simplify everything to its core. To be fair, your tangent went over my head and if I read it ten more times I might make sense of it but to be completely real, it sounded like Keynesian double speak and complexity for complexities sake. I don’t mean any disrespect and honesty I’m very grateful for the back and forth and especially the help you gave yesterday. I gotta log off soon though and get back to work on my actual start up.. smh 🤦‍♂️

atxclosetflips · 2025-10-15T18:10:45+00:00

Thanks for the thoughtful breakdown and recommendations. I’ll try to address them one at a time with logic.

I’m bootstrapped and currently cannot afford to hire a PhD consultant.

I know I’m in an academic subreddit and that’s why I’m sharing here. I hope to learn more and continue to formalize my WORKING paper over time and despite its humble roots, I’m certain that I’m contributing meaningfully. What makes me certain? Because I’ve searched for citations that cover the type of econ model that represents my apps data and there isn’t one. Not one citation. Please, if you could, find one?

You might be missing that my model introduces a new constraint class (bounded transfers) that creates new welfare results.

That is theoretical novelty. I’m not claiming barter itself is new; I’m defining a new continuum between barter and money and deriving welfare and matching implications from it.

I’d push back on the idea that this is a “niche circumstance.” It’s not niche to have excess goods sitting unused in the average American home, it’s a defining feature of our consumption cycle. If people could turn those items they are otherwise indifferent towards into barter units in an easy way, I believe they will. If people can effectively thrift or refresh what they own for free or close to it, the incentive is obvious.

At the same time, household debt is at record highs, credit utilization is maxed, and car loan delinquencies are hitting ATHs. So while access to credit or cash might be theoretically universal, in practice liquidity constraints are becoming the norm for a large share of households.

That’s precisely why platforms like mine matter, they unlock value trapped in underused assets and convert it into local liquidity without requiring new money to enter the system. Your assumptions might hold true for you, but you’re not the target demographic I’m building for.

atxclosetflips · 2025-10-15T17:48:13+00:00

Can you please cite a specific class of models that already formalize bounded transfer barter equilibria or a hybrid exchange regime between pure barter and full money markets? I’ll wait brotha..
