Fiscal Policy, Relative Prices and Net Exports in a Currency Union

Luisa Lambertini, Christian Pröbsting

This paper studies the effects of fiscal policy on net exports, the terms of trade and expenditure switching. Using data on government spending and consumption taxes for twelve euro area countries over 1996 to 2018, it shows that fiscal austerity shocks im ...

Regional Effects of Exchange Rate Fluctuations

Christian Pröbsting

We exploit differences across U.S. states' exposure to trade to study the effects of changes in the exchange rate on economic activity. Across states, trade-weighted exchange rate depreciations are associated with increased state exports, reduced state une ...

Exploring the Contribution of Proprioceptive Reflexes to Balance Control in Perturbed Standing

Auke Ijspeert, Anne Daniëlle Koelewijn

Humans control balance using different feedback loops involving the vestibular system, the visual system, and proprioception. In this article, we focus on proprioception and explore the contribution of reflexes based on force and length feedback to standin ...

Control Strategies for Lower-limb Exoskeletons: from Full Mobilization to Assistance of Balance

Romain Pierre François Baud

Bipedal locomotion is a remarkable feature of humans. This skill is necessary for the activities of daily living. Unfortunately, many people only partially benefit from it or miss it entirely because of a disability. This may result in a slower gait, less ...

Iterative Classroom Teaching

Pierre Dillenbourg, Volkan Cevher, Thibault Lucien Christian Asselborn, Shuqing Teresa Yeo, Louis Pierre Faucon, Kamalaruban Parameswaran

We consider the machine teaching problem in a classroom-like setting wherein the teacher has to deliver the same examples to a diverse group of students. Their diversity stems from differences in their initial internal states as well as their learning rate ...

Austerity in the Aftermath of the Great Recession

Cross-country differences in austerity, defined as government purchases below forecast, account for 75 percent of the observed cross-sectional variation in GDP in advanced economies during 2010-2014. Statistically, austerity is associated with lower GDP, l ...

Non-invasive, Brain-controlled Functional Electrical Stimulation for Locomotion Rehabilitation in Individuals with Paraplegia

Mohamed Bouri, Solaiman Shokur, Miguel Nicolelis

Spinal cord injury (SCI) impairs the flow of sensory and motor signals between the brain and the areas of the body located below the lesion level. Here, we describe a neurorehabilitation setup combining several approaches that were shown to have a positive ...

Dynamic Credit-Collections Optimization

Thomas Alois Weber

Based on a dynamic model of the stochastic repayment behavior exhibited by delinquent credit-card accounts as a self-exciting point process, a bank can control the arrival intensity of repayments using costly account-treatment actions. A semi-analytic solu ...

Brain-spine interface technologies to alleviate gait deficits after Parkinson's disease

Flavio Raschella

Gait and balance deficits are motor disabilities that typically develop late in the progression of Parkinson's disease (PD). These deficits are thought to be the result of dysregulated neural activity in the cortico-basal ganglia-thalamic-cortical motor lo ...

Bretherton's buoyant bubble

John Martin Kolinski, Wassim Dhaouadi

When a buoyant bubble is inserted into a closed capillary that is slightly smaller than the capillary length, it appears stuck; exactly why this is so is a puzzle that has remained unanswered over the past 50 years. Recent calculations suggest that the bub ...

To Fully Net or Not to Net: Adverse Effects of Partial Multilateral Netting

Damir Filipovic, Léo Hamed Amini

We show that partial versus full multilateral netting of interbank liabilities increases bank shortfall and reduces clearing asset price and aggregate bank surplus. We also show that partial multilateral netting can be worse than no netting at all. ...

Defining Ecological Strategies in Neuroprosthetics

Grégoire Courtine, Jocelyne Bloch

Neurological disorders disrupt the equilibrium within the brain and spinal cord ecosystems. Ecology reuses, recycles, and reduces to help maintain the balance across ecosystems. Likewise, neuroprosthetics can help the brain help itself with ecoprosthetic d ...
