Essays in Bank Financing

Yalda Sigrist

This thesis examines the optimal mode of financing for banks and financial institutions. The first chapter, which is a joint work with Prof. Jean-Charles Rochet, investigates how Systemically Important Financial Institutions (SIFIs) should be financed. The ...

Towards a sustainable development licence to operate for the extractive sector

Bruno Maria Camelo Oberle

The extractive sector now holds an even more predominant position for national economies following the adoption of the Sustainable Development Goals in 2015. The sector can make significant contributions to the achievement of a large number of these Goals. ...

How Does Tax Progressivity and Household Heterogeneity Affect Laer Curves?

Serhiy Stepanchuk

How much additional tax revenue can the government generate by increasing labor income taxes? In this paper we provide a quantitative answer to this question, and study the importance of the progressivity of the tax schedule for the ability of the governme ...

Living beyond the edge: Higgs inflation and vacuum metastability

Javier Rubio

The measurements of the Higgs mass and top Yukawa coupling indicate that we live in a very special universe, at the edge of the absolute stability of the electroweak vacuum. If fully stable, the Standard Model (SM) can be extended all the way up to the inf ...

Holistic Approach to Sufficient, Reliable and Efficient Electricity Supply in Hospitals of Developing Countries: Cameroon Case Study

Nicolas Crettenand

While health technology has shown constant improvements in industrialized countries, developing countries have not been able to take full advantage of this evolution, partly because of unstable power supplies. According to a World Health Organization study ...

On the strong coupling scale in Higgs G-inflation

Kohei Kamada

Higgs G-inflation is an inflation model that takes advantage of a Galileon-like derivative coupling. It is a non-renormalizable operator and is strongly coupled at high energy scales. Perturbative analysis does not have a predictive power any longer there. ...

Topological inflation from the Starobinsky model in supergravity

Kohei Kamada

We consider the ghost-free higher-order corrections to the Starobinsky model in the old-minimal supergravity, focusing on a sector among several scalar fields in the model that reproduces the scalaron potential in the original Starobinsky model. In general ...

Laboratory as a Service (LaaS): a Novel Paradigm for Developing and Implementing Modular Remote Laboratories

Denis Gillet, Christophe Salzmann, Mohamed Tawfik

The increasing adoption of remote laboratories in education along with the shift from eLearning 2.0 towards eLearning 3.0, have demanded several considerations in their implementation and delivery format. In response to these needs, this contribution intro ...

Scientific diasporas fostering science and technology in the home countries

Gabriela Tejada Guerrero

Current interest in capitalizing on scientific diasporas’ knowledge and networks to the advantage of developing countries has become more pronounced given the escalation in international skilled migration and the realization of the potential benefits to ho ...

Higgs inflation: consistency and generalisations

Sergey Sibiryakov, Amaury Magnin

We analyse the self-consistency of inflation in the Standard Model, where the Higgs field has a large non-minimal coupling to gravity. We determine the domain of energies in which this model represents a valid effective field theory as a function of the ba ...
