a learningfromprices view of inflation and business cycles

the eurozone is currently facing a sudden and sharp increase in inflation whether inflationary pressures will persist and what will be the cost of an eventual monetary tightening crucially depends on inflation expectations the aim of this project is to provide theoretical and empirical support to a new channel through which inflation may persistently shift business activity the project sheds new light on how market prices influence consumers perceived inflation and how this may allow for the transmission of monetary policy even in the absence of rigidities in firms pricing it shifts the focus from a traditional firmcentric to a complementary householdcentric view of money nonneutrality it shares the spirit of a recent trend in central banks efforts in getting a better appraisal of the importance of consumers expectations after decades of a strict empirical focus on firms pricing the project consists of five working packages wp based on the idea that households inflation perceptions driven by actual market prices can be a major source of the business cycle the first wp proposes a new theory where outputinflation comovement relies on consumers price hunting in response to perceived inflation causing a countercyclical gap between posted and paid prices inflation the second and third wp aim at validating the mechanism using large datasets on consumers spending and retail trade the fourth presents a new model where consumers learn from inflation about future economic prospects on which all have dispersed foresight the fifth will estimate this model on survey data the key novelty of the project is studying not only how expectations move market outcomes as typical in the literature but also how these feedback to expectations through prices in a full circle of general equilibrium implications as byproduct it identifies measurable empirical counterparts for incomplete information sets

from chrysoloras latin to erasmus greek renaissance classical bilingualism as a european phenomenon 13971536

erasmos hypothesizes that in contrast to the tenet the great age of latingreek bilingualism especially in its written form is not to be situated in antiquity instead classical bilingualism flourished in the renaissance a pivotal period in canonizing classics after 1397 when m chrysoloras started teaching greek in florence classical bilingualism developed into an authorial ideal championed by writers like erasmus d1536 this ideal pervaded countless genres far beyond classical standards it turned into a common practice shaping europes cultural identities across the republic of letters where latingreek codeswitching occurred on a daily basiserasmos opens a new research avenue on renaissance classical bilingualism in its own right which offers broader opportunities the project has 3 main aims 1 it inventories classical bilingual sources from the long 15th century 13971536 in a database in order to create a new detailed heatmap of european humanism 2 it develops digital tools for the analysis of literary multilingualism leading to a new form of digital humanitiesassisted closereading most notably the novel tongueprint tool will allow us to automatically calculate the linguistic makeup of texts this tongueprint aims to further integrate multilingualism into neolatin studies by crossfertilizing the field with historical sociolinguistics 3 erasmos analyzes through dhassisted closereading the forms and functions of classical bilingualism in comparison to its ancient pendant thus testing the core project hypothesiserasmos in sum brings culturalhistorical and digitalconceptual innovation the tools developed will benefit humanities studies more broadly and will help us save a key part of european cultural history from oblivion the project promises major advances in the study of europes classical bilingualism which connected the continents brightest minds in an age that fell prey to divisive ideological forces
the onlineoffline nexus in cybercrime examining online and offline pathways into and out of cybercrime

cybercrime is on the rise and the digitization of crime raises an array of fundamental questions the cybercrimepathways programme focuses on one of the major issues in criminology today changing offline and online pathways in and out of cybercrime individuals do not become cybercriminals overnight they tend to move through different stages with each stage bringing them a little closer to crime involvement the opposite is true for desistance the process of quitting crime whereby each step takes individuals further away from criminal activities together these stages are called pathwaysthe overarching aim of this study is to acquire fundamental knowledge on pathways into and out of cybercrime without knowledge about the pathways it remains unclear if existing theories can still be used to explain cybercriminal activitiesa recent systematic review of the literature shows that the empirical evidence on the factors leading into cybercrime is often incomplete weak and fragmented and that there is a gap between insights from qualitative studies and quantitative studies on the potential drivers of recruitment the programme will go beyond the existing literature and propose a mixed method design that combines muchneeded explorative qualitative insights with rigorous quantitative field experiments using unique qualitative data a combination of interviews with criminal and ethical hackers and police data mechanisms will be distilled and experimented in studies with rigorous experimental designs criminological research using online platforms is scarce however the pioneering work conducted by both my colleagues and me confirms that these platforms are most promising for performing experimental studiesto reconceptualize and futureproof traditional theories the programme will study both cyberdependent and cyberenabled crimes which will enable us to identify the similarities and differences between those two types of cybercrime

parkinsons disease pd is a neurodegenerative disease with growing incidence more than 10 million people worldwide are affected by this condition in addition to decline in the patients quality of life the economic burden of pd is estimated to exceed 139 billion eur in eu annually considering this novel and more efficient therapeutic options are needed as current pd treatments alleviate symptoms without stopping neurodegeneration and progression of the disease although the etiology of pd is unclear degeneration of dopamine da neurons has been shown to result from certain genetic mutations toxins and pathological protein aggregation among others importantly recent evidence points to decrease in mrna methylation at adenosine n6 m6a in pd data also indicate that m6a reduction may induce da neuron apoptosisprof mart saarma and collaborators have discovered that m6a methylation is a crucial regulator of neuronal apoptosis they developed novel m6a methyltransferase activators and demethylase inhibitors that potently enhance mrna m6a levels importantly preliminary data show that these compounds protect da neurons from neurotoxininduced death in culture at nanomolar concentration moreover one compound tested thus far remarkably improves motor behavior protects and regenerates da neurons and their axons in rat pd model more potently than gold standard gdnf considering this the current project aims to elucidate the mechanisms how m6a regulates da neuron survival and axonal regeneration we will identify for the first time the mrnas with increaseddecreased methylation at adenosine n6 that regulate the life and death of da neurons thereby potentially opening new directions in pd research in addition we aim to provide completely new lead molecules for pd treatmentin conclusion the current project aims to broaden our understanding on the mechanisms of parkinsons disease and provide new drug candidates for novel pd therapeutic avenues
energy driven pattern formation continuous symmetry breaking and positive temperature

spontaneous pattern formation is an ubiquitous and fascinating phenomenon in nature of enormous importance for the present and future of applications a crucial aspect both at zero and positive temperature is that in dimension d1 the physical states retain less symmetries than the interactions involved in the models this phenomenon known as symmetry breaking coupled with nonlocality makes any attempt of giving a mathematical explanation of pattern formation extremely challenging and still largely not accessible with the current toolsendrisp aims at gaining deep insight into the mathematical mechanisms behind the phenomenon of energydriven pattern formation focusing on the following foremost questions in the field explain continuous symmetry breaking mechanisms for isotropic functionals show pattern formation and symmetry breaking in the positive temperature settingthe focus of endrisp will be on the formation of periodic onedimensional structures in general dimension ie stripedlamellar structures as they are generally the first type of patterns to emerge from uniform phases when symmetry breaking occurs in regimes in which the attractive and repulsive forces are of the same order we will use precise nonlocal quantities of geometric character coming from the free energy to control the curvature of the physical states and derive rigidity and stability estimates the techniques we developed to show pattern formation for continuous functionals retaining discrete symmetry together with our experience on representation theorems in the positive temperature setting and the new ideas in endrisp will be the ideal basement to the project major advances in calculus of variations geometric measure theory and statistical mechanics will be required for which the transfer of knowledge with the supervisors empowered by the unique training offered by courant institute in the outgoing phase and by gssi in the return phase will be extremely beneficial
interstellar chemical evolution probing hcn and hnc formation and destruction on icy surfaces with computational chemistry

hcn and hnc are routinely used by astronomers to trace temperature and dense gas regions in galaxies where stars and planetary systems form they are key precursors of complex species including prebiotic molecules like amino acids and nucleotides while their gasphase formation and evolution are well understood their formation and destruction paths on interstellar ices remains largely unchartered territorythe aim of this proposal is to remedy this knowledge gap by investigating the formation of hcn and hnc through cn radical hydrogenation on interstellar water and co ices as well as their destruction paths using stateoftheart computational chemistry and astrochemical modelling including in all cases their deuterated counterparts it also presents an opportunity to study the interaction of cn radicals with ice surfaces which can occur either through physisorption or hemibonding on both types of ices the four primary objectives of this proposal are i to explore the cn to water and co ice binding energy distribution as well as the dominant binding modes ii to quantify the hydrogenation reactions of cn with atomic and molecular hydrogen forming hcn and hnc as well as other possible hydrogenation products due to the hemibonding interactions iii to investigate the destruction of the products in the previous point resulting from further hydrogenation reactions and finally iv to calculate the rate constants including quantum tunnelling and implement these in the uclchem astrochemical model to assess the importance of surface chemistry in two specific cases the shocked region l1157b1 and the ngc1068 galaxythe novelty of this proposal lies in the combination of computational chemistry and astrochemical modelling to unveil the icesurface formation and evolution of hcn and hnc and their deuterated counterparts for the first time encompassing a comprehensive characterization of the cn to water and co hemibonding interaction
