Monetary Independence And Rollover Crises
This article shows that the inability to use monetary policy for macroeconomic stabilization leaves a government more vulnerable to a rollover crisis. We study a sovereign default model with self-fulfilling rollover crises, foreign currency debt, and nomin ...

After the financial crisis, policy rates in the major advanced economies have moved downwards to near/below zero. Some countries have experienced an increase in house prices and an expansion of mortgages. Also, there have been considerable changes in the m ...
EPFL2021Three Problems of Liquidity under Asymmetric Information
This thesis develops models for three problems of liquidity under asymmetric information.
In the chapter "Disclosures, Rollover Risk, and Debt Runs" I build a model of dynamic debt
runs without perfect information in order to understand the impact of asset ...
EPFL2019Three Essays in Banking and Finance
This thesis develops three models that study the motivation of various agents to take on debt,
and the impact that excessive financial leverage can have on social welfare.
In the chapter "Short-term Bank Leverage and the Value of Liquid Reserves", the ince ...

Diego Ghezzi, Eleonora Borda, Marta Jole Ildelfonsa Airaghi Leccardi
Retinitis Pigmentosa and age-related macular degeneration are two of the principal causes of blindness in industrialized countries, for which there is still no established prevention, treatment or cure. In the past decade, retinal prostheses emerged as pro ...
2018Parylene to silicon nitride bonding for post-integration of high pressure microfluidics to CMOS devices
Martinus Gijs, Ata Tuna Ciftlik
High pressure-rated channels allow microfluidic assays to be performed on a smaller footprint while keeping the throughput, thanks to the higher enabled flow rates, opening perspectives for cost-effective integration of CMOS chips to microfluidics circuits ...
Royal Society of Chemistry2012Low temperature pyrex/silicon wafer bonding via a single intermediate parylene layer
Martinus Gijs, Ata Tuna Ciftlik
We introduce a new low temperature (280 °C) parylene-C wafer bonding technique, where parylene-C bonds directly a Pyrex wafer to a silicon wafer with either a Si, SiO2 or Si3N4 surface with a bonding strength up to 23 MPa. The technique uses a single layer ...
IEEE2011Synthesis of furoquinolines by a multicomponent domino process
Five bonds form in one pot, from three well-designed yet readily accessible substrates. Simply mixing an o-alkynyl aniline, e.g., 2-H2NC6H4C==CCO2Me, an aldehyde, e.g., heptanal, and ammonium chloride in toluene at room temp., followed by addn. of an isocy ...
