De-biasing electric vehicle adoption with personalized nudging
(2024)Economics Working Paper SeriesReplacing combustion engine vehicles with battery electric vehicles (BEV) is essential to achieving climate objectives and advancing sustainable transportation, aligning with the United Nations Development Goals and the Paris Agreement. In this project, we identify three perception biases linked to EV adoption and address them with personalized non-monetary information treatments to increase the adoption of BEVs among owners of internal ...Working Paper -

The Strategic Value of Data Sharing in Interdependent Markets
(2024)Large, generalist, technology firms—so-called “big-tech” firms—powerful in their primary market, routinely enter secondary markets consisting of specialist firms. Naturally, one might expect a specialist firm to be fiercely protective of its data as a way to maintain its market position in the secondary market. Counter to this intuition, we demonstrate that a specialist firm willingly shares its market data with an intruding tech generalist. ...Working Paper -
Compound soil and atmospheric drought events and CO2 fluxes of a mixed deciduous forest: Occurrence, impact, and temporal contribution of main drivers
(2024)EGUsphereWith global warming, forests are facing an increased exposure to compound soil and atmospheric drought (CSAD) events, characterized by low soil water content (SWC) and high vapor pressure deficit (VPD). Such CSAD events trigger responses in both ecosystem and forest floor CO2 fluxes, of which we know little about. In this study, we used multi-year daily and daytime above canopy (18 years; 2005–2022) and daily forest floor (five years; ...Working Paper -
Effect of the 2022 summer drought across forest types in Europe
(2024)EGUsphereForests in Europe experienced record-breaking dry conditions during the 2022 summer. The direction in which various forest types respond to climate extremes during their growing season is contingent upon an array of internal and external factors. These factors include the extent and severity of the extreme conditions and the tree ecophysiological characteristics adapted to environmental cues, which exhibit significant regional variations. ...Working Paper -
Driving towards stability and efficiency
(2024)arXivAutomated vehicle technologies offer a promising avenue for enhancing traffic efficiency, safety, and energy consumption. Among these, Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) systems stand out as a prevalent form of automation on today's roads, with their time gap settings holding paramount importance. While decreasing the average time headway tends to enhance traffic capacity, it simultaneously raises concerns regarding safety and string stability. ...Working Paper -
Antifragile perimeter control
(2024)arXivThe optimal operation of transportation networks is often susceptible to unexpected disruptions, such as traffic incidents and social events. Many established control strategies rely on mathematical models that struggle to cope with real-world uncertainties, leading to a significant decline in effectiveness when faced with substantial disruptions. While previous research works have dedicated efforts to improving the robustness or resilience ...Working Paper -
Counting crime? A review on the production of crime data
(2024)CURATE Working PaperThis literature review is aimed at providing an overview of the arguments, concerns, and issues raised by criminologists, sociologists, and psychologists regarding crime data and their quality. Given the increasing, widespread use of (crime) data to serve analytical purposes (e.g., predictive policing) and global discussions and measures on big data (policing), this review presents relevant and timely insights. It assists our understanding ...Working Paper -
Wavelet compressed, modified Hilbert transform in the space-time discretization of the heat equation
(2024)SAM Research ReportOn a finite time interval \((0,T)\), we consider the multiresolution Galerkin discretization of a modified Hilbert transform \((H_T)\) which arises in the space-time Galerkin discretization of the linear diffusion equation. To this end, we design spline-wavelet systems in \((0,T)\) consisting of piecewise polynomials of degree \(\geq 1\) with sufficiently many vanishing moments which constitute Riesz bases in the Sobolev spaces \( ...Report -
Time-dependent electromagnetic scattering from dispersive materials
(2024)SAM Research ReportThis paper studies time-dependent electromagnetic scattering from metamaterials that are described by dispersive material laws. We consider the numerical treatment of a scattering problem in which a dispersive material law, for a causal and passive homogeneous material, determines the wave-material interaction in the scatterer. The resulting problem is nonlocal in time inside the scatterer and is posed on an unbounded domain. Well-posedness ...Report
