Twenty Key Questions in Environmental and Resource Economics
(2019)Economics Working Paper SeriesEconomic and ecological systems are closely interlinked at a global and a regional level, offering a broad variety of challenging research topics in environ- mental and resource economics. The successful identification of key questions for current and future research supports development of novel theories, empirical applications, and appropriate policy designs. It allows establishing a future- oriented research agenda whose ultimate ...Working Paper -
The Effects of Economic Globalisation and Ethnic Fractionalisation on Redistribution
(2019)KOF Working PapersWe examine the effect of economic globalisation on income redistribution and hypothesise that it depends on ethnic fractionalisation. In highly fractionalised countries, powerful ethnicities are able to extract globalisation-induced benefits, whereas their governments face substantial political obstacles when redistributing income between ethnic groups. Using the newly constructed KOF Globalisation Index, we find supportive evidence for ...Working Paper -
The “Forgotten” Middle Class: An Analysis of the Effects of Globalisation
(2019)KOF Working PapersThis paper studies the effects of globalisation on the income share of the middle class. Our findings suggest that globalisation, proxied by the KOF Economic Globalisation Index, reduces the income share of the middle class. The income share of the poorest 20% also drops due to globalisation, while that of the richest 20% increases. When we distinguish between de facto and de jure globalisation, we find that only de facto measures have ...Working Paper -
The Fictional Addressee of Architecture as a Device for Exploring Post-colonial Culture: The Transformations of the Helleno-centric Approaches
(2019)This postdoctoral research project examines the relationships between architecture’s epistemology within the Greek and international contexts, scrutinizing their interdependences. It is focused on the analysis of three case studies: the travels to Greece of the Villa Medici pensionnaires in the 19th century, the trajectories of the architects of Mataroa, and the different approaches of bridging Helleno-centricism and modernism within the ...Working Paper -

Automatically Testing String Solvers
(2019)SMT solvers are at the basis of many applications, such as program verification, program synthesis, and test case generation. For all these applications to provide reliable results, SMT solvers must answer queries correctly. However, since they are complex, highly-optimized software systems, ensuring their correctness is challenging. In particular, state-of-the-art testing techniques do not reliably detect when an SMT solver is unsound. In ...Working Paper -
