description: It is widely accepted that episodes of social unrest, conflict, political tensions and policy uncertainty affect the economy. Nevertheless, the real-time dimension of such relationships is less studied, and it remains unclear how to incorporate them in a forecasting framework. This can be partly explained by a certain divide between the economic and political science contributions in this area, as well as the traditional lack of availability of timely high-frequency indicators measuring such phenomena. The latter constraint, though, is becoming less of a limiting factor through the production of text-based indicators. In this paper we assemble a dataset of such monthly measures of what we call “institutional instability”, for three representative emerging market economies: Brazil, Colombia and Mexico. We then forecast quarterly GDP by adding these new variables to a standard macro-forecasting model using different methods. Our results strongly suggest that capturing institutional instability above a broad set of standard high-frequency indicators is useful when forecasting quarterly GDP. We also analyse relative strengths and weaknesses of the approach.

description: In this paper, we propose two novel frameworks to incorporate auxiliary information about connectivity among entities (i.e., network information) into the estimation of large covariance matrices. The current literature either completely ignores this kind of network information (e.g., thresholding and shrinkage) or utilizes some simple network structure under very restrictive settings (e.g., banding). In the era of big data, we can easily get access to auxiliary information about the complex connectivity structure among entities. Depending on the features of the auxiliary network information at hand and the structure of the covariance matrix, we provide two different frameworks correspondingly —the Network Guided Thresholding and the Network Guided Banding. We show that both Network Guided estimators have optimal convergence rates over a larger class of sparse covariance matrix. Simulation studies demonstrate that they generally outperform other pure statistical methods, especially when the true covariance matrix is sparse, and the auxiliary network contains genuine information. Empirically, we apply our method to the estimation of the covariance matrix with the help of many financial linkage data of asset returns to attain the global minimum variance (GMV) portfolio.

description: This paper critically evaluates the HESA (Higher Education Statistics Agency) Data Report for the Employer Justified Retirement Age (EJRA) Review Group at the University of Cambridge (Cambridge 2024), identifying significant methodological flaws and misinterpretations. Our analysis reveals issues such as unclear application of data filters, inconsistent variable treatment, and erroneous statistical conclusions. The Report suggests that the EJRA increased job creation rates at Cambridge, but we show Cambridge consistently had lower job creation rates for Established Academic Careers compared to other Russell Group universities, both before and after EJRA implementation in 2011, with no evidence for a significant change in this deficit post implementation. This suggests that EJRA is not a significant factor driving job creation rates. Since other universities without an EJRA exhibit higher job creation rates, this suggests job creation can be sustained without such a policy. We conclude that the EJRA did not achieve its intended goal of increasing opportunities for young academics and may have exacerbated existing disparities compared to other leading universities. We recommend EJRA be abolished at Cambridge since it does not meet its aims and could be viewed as unlawful age discrimination.

description: We estimate country-specific annual per-capita GDP losses from global warming using the most recent climate scenarios of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) under different mitigation, adaptation, and climate variability assumptions. Our results indicate that without significant mitigation and adaptation efforts, global GDP per capita could decline by up to 24 percent under the high-emissions climate scenarios by 2100. These income losses vary significantly across the 174 countries in our sample, depending on the projected paths of temperatures and their variability.

The Impact of a Large Depreciation on the Cost of Living of Rich and Poor Consumers

Cost-Of-Living

description: We use retailer scanner data to analyze the impact of a large and sudden exchange rate shock on the cost of living of consumers. While the marginal cost of foreign-sourced products increases by 7 percent more than the costs of locally-sourced products, the retail markup on foreign products decreases by 4 percent relative to local products. At the same time, we document increased entry and exit of both foreign and local varieties around the depreciation. To analyze the impact on consumers we decompose the change in the cost of living into a cost, a retail markup, a substitution, and a variety effect. As richer consumers spend, on average, more on foreign varieties, we find that they are disproportionally affected by the cost effect. However, lower retail markups on foreign products offset this relative cost increase. Since richer consumers have lower elasticities of substitution and benefit more from changes in product variety, their cost of living increased only by 16 percent, while for poor consumers the cost of living increased by 24 percent.

description: We show that U.S. trade protectionism shocks cause the cyclical component of the aggregate U.S. price markup to increase significantly over time. However, if trade barrier announcements are covered by the media, which may help form expectations about the future, we find that the aggregate U.S. price markup response is zero upon impact, if not negative, before it eventually rises. We develop a simple canonical model of trade adjustment dynamics driven by habits in consumer preferences that replicates these empirical responses and use it to quantify the welfare implications. In the model, firms cut markups preemptively in anticipation of future trade barriers by factoring in the time that it takes to wean addicted consumers off of imported varieties.

description: THANK is a tractable heterogeneous-agent New-Keynesian model that captures analytically core micro heterogeneity channels of quantitative-HANK: cyclical inequality and risk; self-insurance, pre-cautionary saving, and realistic intertemporal marginal propensities to consume. I use it to elucidate key transmission mechanisms and dynamic properties of HANK models. Countercyclical inequality yields aggregate-demand amplification and makes determinacy with Taylor rules more stringent; but solving the forward guidance puzzle requires procyclical inequality: a Catch-22. Solutions include combining inequality with a distinct risk channel, with compensating cyclicalities; I provide evidence that disposable income inequality was procyclical in the last two, Great and COVID recessions, while risk is countercyclical. Alternative policy rules also solve the Catch-22, e.g. price-level-targeting or, in the model version with liquidity, setting nominal public debt. Optimal policy with heterogeneity features a novel inequality-stabilization motive generating higher inflation volatility—but is unaffected by risk, insofar as the target efficient equilibrium entails no inequality.

description: Stabilization of prices has been an important element of achieving food price stability in most countries — both developing and developed, including India. In this paper, we rethink the ex-tension of the price stabilization as a compensation strategy to stimulate change in favour of low-water crops in Punjab. Groundwater facilitated impressive agricultural production, particularly record increases in wheat and rice productivity in Punjab, but also accelerated depletion of aquifers. Free electricity and negligible pumping costs aggravated the problem and the resultant policy failure encouraged unregulated use of groundwater, lower relative profitability of water efficient crops and a shift in favour of water intensive crops. Questions are now being raised about the sustainability of this intensive agriculture strategy. The rapidly depleting water table level and soil deterioration from overuse of fertilizers and pesticides are attributed to farmers’ preference for high-water rice variety. Drawing from the Payment for Ecosystem Services scheme, this stated preference experiment investigates farmers’ preferences to change high-water rice variety by low-water variety with compensatory payments. Results show that majority of farmers are willing to accept compensation for substitution by low-water intensive rice variety. In addition, the scheme can be accompanied by significant willingness to pay for electricity, but the WTP is contingent upon the nature of electricity charge.

description: We report ferroelectric domain inversion in strontium barium niobate (SBN) single crystals by irradiating the surface locally with a strongly focused ultraviolet (UV) laser beam. The generated domains are investigated using piezoresponse force microscopy. We propose a simple model that allows predicting the domain width as a function of the irradiation intensity, which indeed applies for both SBN and LiNbO3. Evidently, though fundamentally different, the domain structure of both SBN and LiNbO3 can be engineered through similar UV irradiation.

description: The policy of free electricity since 1997 is hugely popular with farmers in Punjab who are its biggest beneficiaries. Successive Governments have either lacked the courage or willingness to pursue market oriented electricity sector reforms even though the adverse con-sequences are increasingly visible. Over the past few decades, experts have expressed concern over the rapidly receding level of the water table and forecast of desertification, as well as the financial burden on the electricity distribution utility and government. Withdrawing free electricity and charging a price for electricity is a huge challenge. This research aims to estimate willingness to pay (WTP) for electricity and consider preferences for an annual free electricity limit with reward for meter installation and a novel incentive-penalty scheme designed to reward low consumption and discourage over-consumption. A discrete choice experiment assuming random probit and multinomial logit choice behaviour model is deployed to estimate the model parameters. We find that more than 82% of respondents are willing to accept an entitlement to a free electricity limit – with a reward for consuming less than this – rather than the current policy of free and unmetered electricity. We also find that the WTP for electricity increases with higher entitlements. Considering the WTP alone, the results suggest that increasing the electricity price can be acceptable to farmers. Further research is needed to develop a pricing strategy that considers the inter-relatedness between electricity entitlement, saving incentive and price.

description: Diesel and electric pumps have dominated groundwater irrigation in Punjab since the advent of intensive agriculture in 1966. National policies offer a range of subsidies for solar pumps, but there is limited empirical evidence of their effectiveness in promoting adoption. To address this need, a discrete choice method is applied to estimate the level of financial incentives for solar pumps preferred by farmers. The results show that enhanced subsidies combined with energy buyback have a significant impact on adoption decisions. The impact of contextual factors on the acceptance of grid-connected solar pumps is also estimated. Additionally, willingness to pay estimates and economic evaluations are improved with the use of flexible mixed logit formulation. The findings confirm that low subsidy limits the diffusion of solar pumps in Punjab agriculture. Further, the results from the statistical models indicate high public acceptance of individual solar agriculture pumps. We suggest that solar subsidies combined with grid purchases of surplus solar electricity can both reduce emissions and reduce the over-use of ground water, by indirectly introducing a price of electricity for water pumping.

description: We discuss general properties of the equilibrium state of parametric down-conversion in superconducting quantum circuits with detunings and Kerr anharmonicities, in the strongly nonlinear regime. By comparing moments of the steady state and those of a Schrodinger cat, we show that true Schrodinger cats cannot survive in the steady state if there is any single-photon loss. A delta-function "catlike" steady-state distribution can be formed, but this only exists in the limit of an extremely large nonlinearity. The steady state is a mixed state, which is more complex than a mixture or linear combination of delta functions, and the purity of which is reduced by driving. We expect this general behavior to occur in other driven, dissipative quantum subharmonic nonequilibrium open systems.

description: Stabilization and redistribution are intertwined in a model with heterogeneity, imperfect insurance, and nominal rigidity-making fiscal and monetary policy inextricably linked for aggregate-demand management. Movements in inequality induced by fiscal transfers make the flexible-price equilibrium suboptimal, thus triggering a stabilization vs redistribution tradeoff. Likewise, changes in government spending that are associated with changes in the distribution of taxes (progressive vs. regressive) induce a tradeoff for monetary policy: the central bank cannot stabilize real activity at its efficient level (including insurance) and simultaneously avoid inflation. Fiscal policy can be used in conjunction to monetary policy to strike the optimal balance between stabilization and insurance (redistribution) motives.

description: Für die Nutzung von marinen Fischressourcen und dem durch Überfischung verursachten Biodiversitätsverlust fehlten bisher Vorgehensweisen zur Bewertung in Single-Score-Wirkungsabschätzungsmethoden wie der Methode der ökologischen Knappheit. Diese Lücke kann insbesondere im Bereich der Ernährung zu deutlich unterschätzten Umweltauswirkungen von Fischmenüs führen im Vergleich zu Fleischmenüs und vegetarischen Alternativen. 
Ziel dieser Studie war die Entwicklung eines Ansatzes zur Berechnung von Ökofaktoren für marine Fischressourcen sowie die Aufnahme dieser Ökofaktoren in die Studie «Ökofaktoren Schweiz 2021 gemäss der Methode der ökologischen Knappheit». Der in diesem Bericht beschriebene Ansatz fokussiert ausschliesslich auf den vom Menschen induzierten Druck auf die unterschiedlichen marinen Fischressourcen. Auswirkungen auf die Ökosystemqualität wie auch durch die Ausbreitung von invasiven Arten sind mit dem gewählten Ansatz vorerst ausgeschlossen.
Der Charakterisierungsfaktor (CF) nach dem in dieser Studie vorgeschlagenen Charakterisierungsmodell basiert auf der Bestandsgrösse der verschiedenen Fischbestände sowie deren Regenerationsrate. Das vorgeschlagene Charakterisierungsmodell erlaubt daher die Unterscheidung verschiedener Fischarten in unterschiedlichen Fangregionen.
Zusätzlich zur Bewertung von marinen Fischressourcen werden ebenfalls Ansätze zur Integration von Beifang und Rückwurf in Abhängigkeit der Fangmethode sowie der Fischart vorgeschlagen. Ebenfalls werden Ansätze zur Berücksichtigung der Ökofaktoren für marine Fischressourcen bei der Produktion von Fischmehl und -öl vorgeschlagen und diskutiert.
Der Einbezug der Ökofaktoren für marine Fischressourcen sowie des Beifangs und Rückwurfs als auch die Anwendung der Ökofaktoren auf die indirekt genutzten Fischressourcen für die Herstellung von Fischmehl- und öl, welches in der Fischzucht verwendet wird, führt zu einem deutlichen Anstieg der Gesamtumweltbelastung von Fischprodukten. Dieser Anstieg führt dazu, dass Fischmenüs mit Fisch aus Wildfang in Abhängigkeit der Fischart und Fangregion eine Umweltauswirkung aufweisen können, welche bis zu 150-mal höher ist als mit der bisherigen Bewertung.
Die neuen Ökofaktoren für marine Fischressourcen ermöglichen eine differenzierte Bewertung der unterschiedlichen Fischarten unter Berücksichtigung der Fangregion und schliessen eine wichtige Lücke bei der Bewertung von verschiedenen Menüoptionen in der Gastronomie.

description: We discuss general properties of discrete time quantum symmetry breaking in degenerate parametric oscillators. Recent experiments in superconducting quantum circuit with Josephson junction nonlinearities give rise to new properties of strong parametric coupling and nonlinearities. Exact analytic solutions are obtained for the steady-state of this single-mode case of subharmonic generation. We also obtain analytic solutions for the tunneling time over which the time symmetry-breaking is lost above threshold. We find that additional anharmonic terms found in the superconducting case increase the tunneling rate, and can also lead to new regimes of tristability as well as bistability. Our analytic results are confirmed by number state calculations.

description: Clean energy transition underpins the European Energy strategy with ambitious objectives for Renewable Energy Technologies (RET) deployment. Yet, social support remains a significant barrier to accelerating the energy transition. Existing studies have examined wide-ranging social-psychological factors that can affect support for RETs but have failed to address key local barriers. This study aims to illuminate regional characteristics that can influence social support for energy alternatives by assessing public support for two emerging renewables, hydrogen and biomethane, in three different EU countries, the Netherlands, Spain and Greece. We combine our micro-data with EU regional indicators to extend our model beyond known individual-level factors and test the effects of higher-scale antecedents covering regional development, poverty and social exclusion statistics. Our multilevel regression analysis reveals that severe material deprivation plays a key role in social support for RETs. In particular, our results suggest that people living in regions with elevated poverty levels are less likely to support such energy systems. This finding is consistent for both the renewables examined in the three EU countries studied. Our research offers significant and timely insights for accelerating the clean energy transition, while highlighting the need for better strategies to gain and increase social support for RETs.

description: The truncated Wigner and positive-P phase-space representations are used to study the dynamics of a one-dimensional Bose gas. This allows calculations of the breathing quantum dynamics of higher-order solitons with 103-105 particles, as in realistic Bose-Einstein condensation experiments. Although classically stable, these decay quantum mechanically. Our calculations show that there are large nonlocal correlations and nonclassical quantum entanglement.

description: Gestützt auf ein Mandat der Sicherheitsdirektion des Kantons Zürich hat die Behindertenkonferenz Kanton Zürich (BKZ) im August 2017 die Zürcher Hochschule für Angewandte Wissenschaften (ZHAW) beauftragt, eine Studie zum Handlungsbedarf aufgrund der UNO-Behindertenrechtskonvention (BRK) im Kanton Zürich durchzuführen. Die Studie ging folgender Hauptfrage nach: Welches ist im Kanton Zürich der Handlungsbedarf aus der Sicht der UNO-Behindertenrechtskonvention? 
Die Studie zeigt in den einzelnen Bereichen eine Reihe von Lücken in der Umsetzung der BRK auf. Dem Kanton Zürich fehlen zudem ein verbindlicher und überprüfbarer Plan sowie organisatorische Vorkehrungen zur Umsetzung der BRK und zur Gleichstellung von Menschen mit Behinderung. Dies führt dazu, dass die Umsetzung der BRK zu langsam voranschreitet.
 Aus den Ergebnissen wurden drei Empfehlungen abgeleitet:  
- Gründung einer kantonalen Verwaltungsstelle zur Gleichstellung von Menschen mit Behinderung und Umsetzung der BRK. 
- Erarbeitung eines Entwicklungs- und Massnahmenplans zur Gleichstellung von Menschen mit Behinderung. 
- Systematische Verbesserung der hindernis- bzw. barrierefreien Zugänglichkeit der Information und Kommunikation der kantonalen Verwaltung und ihrer Angebote.

150: Psychologie

description: Menschen, die gewohnheitsmässig und oft Fleisch essen, denken weniger an die Folgen ihrer Ernährung für ihre Gesundheit als Menschen, die selten oder nie Fleisch essen. Dies ergab eine Befragung auf zwei Campus der Zürcher Fachhochschule. Noch grösser sind die Unterschiede, wenn die Einstellungen berücksichtigt werden: Menschen, die angeben, häufig Fleisch zu essen, machen sich deutlich weniger häufig Gedanken über die Folgen ihrer Essgewohnheiten für die Umwelt, die Nutztiere oder die Arbeitenden in den Lieferketten. Dafür denken sie häufiger an die Folgen für das eigene Portemonnaie; so das überraschende Ergebnis der Befragung von rund 800 Personen. Bei der Wahl des Mittagessens sind aber nicht nur die Essgewohnheiten und Einstellungen wichtig, sondern ebenso das konkrete Angebot: So haben auch Personen mit fleischorientierten Essgewohnheiten in der Hochschulmensa Vegi-Gerichte gewählt. Vorausgesetzt das Gericht hat sie angesprochen – und wurde nicht als «Vegi» angeboten.

description: Im Projekt «Praxismodule für naturnahe Pflege» wurden Fachwissen, und Handlungsanleitungen zur Etablierung naturnaher Pflege und der Förderung der Biodiversität in urbanen Grünräumen, sowie zum schonenderen Umgang mit Ressourcen (Material, Betriebsmittel, Arbeitszeiten) vermittelt. Das Ziel des Projekts war es, durch die Förderung und Umsetzung naturnaher Pflegemassnahmen die Artenvielfalt sowie den schonenden Umgang mit Ressourcen in urbanen Grünräumen zu fördern. 

Im Rahmen des Projekts wurden zwei Produkte zur Förderung naturnaher Pflege von urbanen Grünräumen entwickelt: Der vorliegende Profilkatalog zur naturnahen Pflege verschiedener Grünraumprofile, sowie ein Praxishandbuch, inklusive objektbezogener Pflegeübersichtspläne und Jahrespflegeplaner. Der Profilkatalog dient der Definition der einzelnen Profile, ihrer Einordnung in das Spannungsfeld von Nutzung, Gestaltung und ökologischem Potential sowie dem Beschrieb naturnaher Pflege- und weiterer Förderungs- und Entwicklungsmassnahmen. Er ist als Nachschlagewerk und Weiterbildungsinstrument konzipiert.
Coherent states in projected Hilbert spaces
Creators: name: Drummond, Peter

Publisher: name: Swinburne

description: Coherent states in a projected Hilbert space have many useful properties. When there are conserved quantities, a representation of the entire Hilbert space is not necessary. The same issue arises when conditional observations are made with postselected measurement results. In these cases, only a part of the Hilbert space needs to be represented, and one can define this restriction by way of a projection operator. Here coherent state bases and normally ordered phase-space representations are introduced for treating such projected Hilbert spaces, including existence theorems and dynamical equations. These techniques are very useful in studying novel optical or microwave integrated photonic quantum technologies, such as boson sampling or Josephson quantum computers. In these cases, states become strongly restricted due to inputs, nonlinearities, or conditional measurements. This paper focuses on coherent phase states, which have especially simple properties. Practical applications are reported on calculating recurrences in anharmonic oscillators, the effects of arbitrary phase noise on Schrödinger cat fringe visibility, and on boson sampling interferometry for large numbers of modes.

description: Die vorliegende Studie untersucht die ersten Erfahrungen mit der neuen Offenlegungspflicht (Public Disclosure) im Schweizer Versicherungsmarkt. Die gewonnenen Erkenntnisse lassen vermuten, dass sich die Resonanz für den Bericht über die Finanzlage unter den Versicherungsnehmern bis anhin in Grenzen hält. Aus Sicht vieler der befragten Versicherer übersteigen die Kosten den Nutzen und die Public Disclosure wird als Pflichtübung mit geringem Mehrwert wahrgenommen.

618: Geburtsmedizin und Hebammenarbeit

description: Rational: The necessity of outpatient postpartum care has increased due to shorter hospital stays after childbirth. Arranging postpartum midwifery care however can be stressful for families, if systemic factors leave the responsibility to the parents and multiple telephone calls are needed to find a midwife. This is especially challenging for social disadvantaged families.
Method: We evaluated the services of the midwifery network Familystart Zurich in Switzerland using a mixed method study design. Descriptive statistics, logistic regression modelling and qualitative content analysis were applied.
Result/Conclusion: Familystart users were more often of foreign nationalities (68.4% vs. 41.3%, p<0.001), had no professional education (25.7% vs. 9.3%, p<0.001), gave birth more frequently by caesarean section (42.4% vs. 34.2%, p<0.001) and recorded more cumulative risk factors (three or more risk factors: 4.2% vs. 1.5%, p<0.001) compared to women organising their midwifery care themselves. It seemed that vulnerable families could be reached and their postpartum care could be arranged through the midwifery network. Women appreciated the support and estimated the help being disburdening and time-saving. Additionally, the collaboration of midwives in the network enabled to improve their work organisation and to make better use of limited resources. Thus both, families and midwives seem to benefit from the services of Familystart Zurich.
Implication of findings: Families with their newborns, which return at home shortly after birth, are in need of a low-threshold and guaranteed postpartum care. The services provided by a midwifery network can lead to a win-win situation for the families, especially social disadvantaged ones, and the midwives.
