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 ...
We perform a general algebraic analysis on the possibility of realising slow-roll inflation in the moduli sector of string models. This problem turns out to be very closely related to the characterisation of models admitting metastable vacua with non-negat ...
The World is facing major challenges regarding environmental threats, resource constraints and the large unbalance of wealth among developing and developed countries. Energy engineering is at the core of the actions to be undertaken to meet these challenge ...
By the year 2016 every member of the World Trade Organization (WTO) has to comply with its agreement on the protection of intellectual property rights (IPR), Trade-related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS or the Agreement). This implies that ...
The allocation of resources for research is increasingly based on so-called ‘bibliometrics’. Scientists arenow deemed to be successful on the sole condition that their work be abundantly cited. This world-wide trendappears to enjoy support not only by gran ...
We analyze the implications of a global carbon tax on CO2 to finance the damage and adaptation costs of developing countries (DCs) using the computable general equilibrium model GEMINI-E3. We considered two options, first, that the tax is only applied to i ...
Although migration and development are high on the international political agenda today, there is a shortage of data on diasporas in the host countries as well as a lack of information on their transnational practices and impact on the development of their ...
In this technical report we describe a scenario designed by the "Office fédérale de l’environnement" (Mr Romero), this scenario is detailed in table 1. In this scenario we assume that a carbon tax 1 USD2001 per ton of CO2 (i.e. 3.66 USD per ton of carbon) ...

Abstract We study macroeconomic stabilization when monetary and fiscal policies interact via their effects on output and inflation and the monetary authority is more conservative than the fiscal. We find that monetary- fiscal interactions result in poor ma ...
