Pierre Bernhard, Romain Biard, and Marc Deschamps are the authors of the corrected work. The original article was published under a different citation structure. The revised work has the DOI https://doi.org/10.1007/s13235-026-00718-x

The publication concerns a correction made to an existing article titled "Dynamic Equilibrium with Randomly Entering and Exiting Firms of Different Types." The original author names were incorrectly structured; the correct authors are Pierre Bernhard, Romain Biard, and Marc Deschamps. The corrected version is assigned the DOI https://doi.org/10.1007/s13235-026-00718-x This indicates an update to scholarly material where author attribution has been rectified in the published record.

The act of correcting author attribution in a scholarly publication touches upon the foundational patterns of academic authority and ownership. The pattern observed is an attempt to correct a structural error, which inherently functions as a repair operation on the perceived integrity of the intellectual framework. This suggests that even seemingly objective, quantitative models (like dynamic equilibrium) are embedded within social structures of authorship that require ongoing maintenance and correction to maintain legitimacy. The implication is that intellectual claims rely not only on the validity of the mathematics but also on the accurate representation of the agents performing the work. The missing element here is the context of why this specific correction was necessary, which speaks to underlying patterns of recognition and attribution within academic systems. What assumptions about authorship hierarchy or institutional validation are being reinforced by the need for such a formal correction? What mechanisms govern the accountability when these structures are intentionally flawed?
