Banach lattices with upper p-estimates: Free and injective objects
(2024)SAM Research ReportWe study the free Banach lattice FBL(p,∞)[E] with upper p-estimates generated by a Banach space E. Using a classical result of Pisier on factorization through Lp,∞(μ) together with a finite dimensional reduction, it is shown that the spaces ℓp,∞(n) witness the universal property of FBL(p,∞)[E] isomorphically. As a consequence, we obtain a functional representation for FBL(p,∞)[E], answering a previously open question. More generally, our ...Report -
Boosting Sluggish Climate Policy: Endogenous Substitution, Learning, and Energy Efficiency Improvements
(2024)Economics Working Paper SeriesThere is widespread concern that climate policy is moving too slowly and that decarbonization of economic development is coming too late for effective climate protection. We analyze three different effects that emerge endogenously during decarbonization and amplify current policies: growing substitutability of dirty inputs with clean inputs, learning and scale effects in new renewables, and efficiency im provements in the application of ...Working Paper -

Transformation de la formation professionnelle supérieure de conduite des travaux
(2024)CES StudiesLa formation professionnelle supérieure dans la conduite des travaux subit actuellement un changement fondamental : le diplôme de conduite des travaux ne sera plus obtenu dans une école supérieure (ES), mais à partir de 2026, il sera exclusivement délivré par le biais d'un examen professionnel fédéral supérieur (EPS). Sur mandat de la Société Suisse des Entrepreneurs, le Swiss Education Lab de la Chaire de Systèmes Éducatifs de l'EPF ...Report -
Transformation der höheren Berufsbildung in der Bauführung
(2024)CES StudienDie höhere Berufsbildung in der Bauführung erfährt derzeit einen grundlegenden Wandel: Das Bauführungs-Diplom wird nicht mehr an einer höheren Fachschule (HF) erworben, sondern ab 2026 ausschliesslich über eine eidgenössisch höhere Fachprüfung (HFP) verliehen. Im Auftrag des Schweizerischen Baumeisterverbands begleiten wir vom Swiss Education Lab der Professur für Bildungssysteme der ETH Zürich diese Transformation wissenschaftlich. Damit ...Report -

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 -

Critical Infrastructure Resilience in Ukraine: Energy, Transportation, and Communication
(2024)CSS Risk and Resilience ReportsThe Russian invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 and the subsequent targeted attacks on critical infrastructure (CI) have put the country and its population under immense pressure. However, Russian interference with Ukrainian CI did not begin in 2022 but goes back at least as far as 2014 and the events surrounding the annexation of Crimea. Despite the enormous pressure, Ukraine has so far managed to maintain the operation of its CIs to ...Report -
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
