Asset purchases, limited asset markets participation and inequality

This paper analyses the effects of quantitative easing (QE) on households' income and consumption inequality in the Euro Area. Using a SVAR with high frequency identification, I show that an identified QE shock is redistributive and expansionary. To ration ...

Dynamic Modeling of an Origami Prismatic Joint

Jamie Paik, Mustafa Mete, Jian-Lin Huang

Dynamic modeling of folding joints is critical for predicting dynamic behavior, optimizing design parameters, and developing control strategies for origami robots and machines. Although kinematics of the folded joints exists, little research describes thei ...

Static and Dynamic Stochastic Analysis of a Temperature-Sensitive VO2 Spiking Neuron

Mihai Adrian Ionescu, Teodor Rosca

In this work, we investigate the intrinsic cycle-to-cycle variations in a spiking temperature-sensitive neuron, based on the resistive switching of a Vanadium dioxide (VO2) two-terminal device. We study how this phenomenon impacts the spike rate jitter, an ...

Essays in macro-finance and deep learning

Goutham Gopalakrishna

This thesis studies the origins and consequences of financial crises, and computational techniques to solve continuous-time economic models that explain such crises. The first chapter shows that financial recessions are typically characterised by a large ...

Backtracking Dynamical Cavity Method

Lenka Zdeborová, Freya Behrens, Barbora Hudcová

The cavity method is one of the cornerstones of the statistical physics of disordered systems such as spin glasses and other complex systems. It is able to analytically and asymptotically exactly describe the equilibrium properties of a broad range of mode ...

European Economic impacts of cutting energy imports from Russia: A computable general equilibrium analysis

Marc Vielle, Sigit Pria Perdana

The recent economic sanctions against Russia can jeopardise the sustainability of the European Union's (EU) energy supply. Despite the EU's strong commitment to stringent abatement targets, fossil fuels still play a significant role in the EU energy policy ...

Online appendix to: Debt dynamics with fixed issuance costs

Julien Hugonnier

We investigate equilibrium debt dynamics for a firm that cannot commit to a future debt policy and is subject to a fixed restructuring cost. We formally characterize equilibria when the firm is not required to repurchase outstanding debt prior to issuing a ...

Estimating flexibility preferences to resolve temporal scheduling conflicts in activity-based modelling

Michel Bierlaire, Timothy Michael Hillel, Janody Pougala

This paper presents a novel activity-based demand model that combines an optimisation framework for continuous temporal scheduling decisions (i.e. activity timings and durations) with traditional discrete choice models for non-temporal choice dimensions (i ...

Exploration of static equilibrium representations; policies and genetic algorithms

Corentin Jean Dominique Fivet, Ioannis Mirtsopoulos

Design exploration consists in browsing the design space and through the incremental generation of diverse design candidates increases creativity and diversity. When integrated into the early stages of the structural design process, the task is expected to ...

Few-femtosecond resolved imaging of laser-driven nanoplasma expansion

Matthias Bucher, Christoph Bostedt

The free expansion of a planar plasma surface is a fundamental non-equilibrium process relevant for various fields but as-yet experimentally still difficult to capture. The significance of the associated spatiotemporal plasma motion ranges from astrophysic ...

The Rebound Effects from Industrial Energy Efficiency Improvements

Michel Zimmermann

In energy policy, energy efficiency constitutes a central element in reducing domestic and, specifically, industrial en-ergy use. Unfortunately, the effectiveness of energy efficiency improvements in achieving its targets is known to be limited by rebound ...

Stabilization of city-scale road traffic networks via macroscopic fundamental diagram-based model predictive perimeter control

Nikolaos Geroliminis, Isik Ilber Sirmatel

Traffic control for large-scale urban road networks remains a challenging problem. Aggregated dynamical models of city-scale traffic, based on the macroscopic fundamental diagram (MFD), enable development of model-based perimeter control methods. Involving ...

Grammar-based generation of bar networks in static equilibrium with bounded bar lengths

Corentin Jean Dominique Fivet, Ioannis Mirtsopoulos

This paper presents a generative approach for the conceptual design of structures, which aims at exploring alternative bar networks in static equilibrium by means of a grammar rule. Operating on incomplete networks of bars in interim static equilibrium, th ...

In vitro investigations of red blood cell phase separation in a complex microchannel network

Francesco Clavica

Microvascular networks feature a complex topology with multiple bifurcating vessels. Nonuniform partitioning (phase separation) of red blood cells (RBCs) occurs at diverging bifurcations, leading to a heterogeneous RBC distribution that ultimately affects ...

Navigating various flexibility mechanisms under European burden-sharing

Marc Vielle

In July 2016, the European Commission presented its proposal for a regulation to reduce greenhouse gases emissions in sectors not covered by the emissions trading system with regard to post-2020 binding targets. The proposal extends the burden-sharing fram ...

Design space exploration through force-based grammar rule

Corentin Jean Dominique Fivet, Ioannis Mirtsopoulos

Design exploration frames the process of understanding design as a challenge and helps taming its complexity. It is a creative, but also paramount, process, that flourishes diversity, emergence and variability. The approaches used during this exploration s ...
