Institutions and Morality (MORALITY)
Date du début: 1 janv. 2015, Date de fin: 31 déc. 2019,
"The main objective of the proposed research is to enhance our understanding of the critical role of institutions in affecting moral transgression. I aim at identifying institutional mechanisms operating in markets and organisations that promote immoral outcomes. The key question this project seeks to explain is why “ordinary” people endowed with a given moral conception engage in behaviours they ...

Clearing Clutter Bit by Bit (SQUIRREL)
Date du début: 1 févr. 2014, Date de fin: 31 janv. 2018,
Clutter in an open world is a challenge for many aspects of robotic systems, especially for autonomous robots deployed in unstructured domestic settings, affecting navigation, manipulation, vision, human robot interaction and planning.SQUIRREL addresses these issues by actively controlling clutter and incrementally learning to extend the robot's capabilities while doing so. We term this the B3 (bi ...

Geometry of moduli spaces and mapping class groups (MODULI)
Date du début: 1 avr. 2012, Date de fin: 31 mars 2017,
The primary goal of the project is to obtain an understanding of geometric and dynamical properties of moduli spaces and mapping class groups. For a mapping class group of a surface of finite type, we are interested in subgroups, in particular in the trace fields of Veech groups beyond the case of genus 2. Convex cocompact surface subgroups are word hyperbolic surface-by-surface groups, and we aim ...

Early Earth Dynamics: Pt-Re-Os isotopic constraints on Hadean-Early Archean mantle evolution (Early Earth)
Date du début: 1 oct. 2010, Date de fin: 30 sept. 2016,
This project aims to directly constrain the melting history and composition of the mantle of the Earthfor the first 750 Ma of its history. So far, our limited knowledge hinges on isolated detrital zircons fromArchean crustal rocks. They indicate crustal extraction as early as 4.4 Ga with peaks at 4.0 and 4.3 Ga butreveal conflicting models for the composition of the Hadean mantle. Both the timing ...

Dynamic Mechanism Design: Theory and Applications (DMD)
Date du début: 1 mai 2010, Date de fin: 30 avr. 2016,
"We plan to construct a theoretical bridge between classical dynamic allocation models used in Operations Research/Management Science, and between the modern theory of mechanism design. Our theoretical results will generate insights for the construction of applied pricing schemes and testable implications about the pattern of observed prices. The Economics literature has focused on information and ...

Heterogeneity, Uncertainty and Macroeconomic Performance (HUMP)
Date du début: 1 janv. 2012, Date de fin: 29 févr. 2016,
Not least the Great Recession shows that micro-level uncertainty and borrowing constraints have first-order macroeconomic consequences and how their fluctuations influence business cycles. To understand many aspects of business-cycles, a vast literature highlights nominal rigidities to be pivotal. Nevertheless, almost all macroeconomic models abstract from these rigidities for tractability when in ...
