On the Benefits of a Monetary Union: Does it Pay to Be Bigger?

Chiara Forlati

This paper revisits the question of the appropriate domain of a currency area using a New-Keynesian open economy model in which the world is split in two areas, each framed as a continuum of small open regions. We show that the adoption of a common currenc ...

An aggregate model for transient and multi-directional pedestrian flows in public walking areas

Michel Bierlaire, Bilal Farooq, Flurin Silvan Hänseler

A dynamic pedestrian propagation model applicable to congested and multi-directional flows is proposed. Based on the cell transmission model, several important extensions are made to describe the simultaneous and potentially conflicting propagation of mult ...

Review of strength models for masonry spandrels

Katrin Beyer, Sujith Mangalathu Sivasubramanian Pillai

Many older unreinforced masonry (URM) buildings feature timber floors and solid brick masonry. Simple equivalent frame models can help predicting the expected failure mechanism and estimating the strength of a URM wall. When modelling a URM wall with an eq ...

Simplified models for LHC new physics searches

Roberto Franceschini, Tao Liu, Jing Shu, Tao Han, Yue Zhao, Yang Bai

This document proposes a collection of simplified models relevant to the design of new-physics searches at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) and the characterization of their results. Both ATLAS and CMS have already presented some results in terms of simplif ...

Mortgage Amortization and Amplification

Luisa Lambertini, Chiara Forlati

Mortgages characterized by negative or low early amortization schedules amplify the macroeconomic effects of a housing risk shock. We analyze the role of mortgage amortization in a two-sector DSGE model with housing risk and endogenous default. Mortgage lo ...

Natural Expectations, Macroeconomic Dynamics, and Asset Pricing

Andreas Fuster

How does an economy behave if (1) fundamentals are truly hump-shaped, exhibiting momentum in the short run and partial mean reversion in the long run, and (2) agents do not know that fundamentals are hump-shaped and base their beliefs on parsimonious model ...

Verification of stochastic models of window opening behaviour for residential buildings

Darren Robinson, Frédéric Haldi

Based on the analyses of data from two distinct measurement campaigns conducted in residential indoor environments in Japan and Switzerland, we identify the specificities of occupants' behaviour with respect to their interactions with windows, including th ...

Exact Acceleration of Linear Object Detectors

François Fleuret, Charles Dubout

We describe a general and exact method to considerably speed up linear object detection systems operating in a sliding, multi-scale window fashion, such as the individual part detectors of part-based models. The main bottleneck of many of those systems is ...

A coupled observation - Modeling approach for studying activation kinetics from measurements of CCN activity

Athanasios Nenes

This paper presents an approach to study droplet activation kinetics from measurements of CCN activity by the Continuous Flow Streamwise Thermal Gradient CCN Chamber (CFSTGC) and a comprehensive model of the instrument and droplet growth. The model, which ...

Risky Mortgages in a DSGE Model

Luisa Lambertini, Chiara Forlati

This paper develops a DSGE model with housing, risky mortgages, and endogenous default. Housing investment is subject to idiosyncratic risk, and some mortgages are defaulted in equilibrium. An unanticipated increase in the standard deviation of housing inv ...
