  • CROCS: A Two-Stage Clustering Framework for Behaviour-Centric Consumer Segmentation with Smart Meter Data

    CROCS: A Two-Stage Clustering Framework for Behaviour-Centric Consumer Segmentation with Smart Meter Data arXiv:2601.10494v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: With grid operators confronting rising uncertainty from renewable integration and a broader push toward electrification, Demand-Side Management (DSM) — particularly Demand Response (DR) — has attracted significant attention as a cost-effective mechanism for balancing modern electricity systems.…

  • Beyond Demand Estimation: Consumer Surplus Evaluation via Cumulative Propensity Weights

    Beyond Demand Estimation: Consumer Surplus Evaluation via Cumulative Propensity Weights arXiv:2601.01029v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: This paper develops a practical framework for using observational data to audit the consumer surplus effects of AI-driven decisions, specifically in targeted pricing and algorithmic lending. Traditional approaches first estimate demand functions and then integrate to compute consumer surplus, but…
