Risk and Development: Households and Firms (RDHF)

Start date: Mar 1, 2014, End date: Mar 16, 2019,

Poor households in developing countries face low and volatile incomes, with little access to forma credit and insurance. Households often resort to informal institutions in order to smooth consumption and foster investment. The extended family could be such an institution. We test for the relevance of the extended family as a provider of resources able to smooth consumption fluctuations and promot ...

Asset Prices and Macro Policy when Agents Learn (APMPAL)

Start date: Jun 1, 2013, End date: May 31, 2018,

"A conventional assumption in dynamic models is that agents form their expectations in a very sophisticated manner. In particular, that they have Rational Expectations (RE). We develop some tools to relax this assumption while retaining fully optimal behaviour by agents. We study implications for asset pricing and macro policy.We assume that agents have a consistent set of beliefs that is close, b ...

Changing Families: Causes, Consequences and Challenges for Public Policy (CHANGING FAMILIES)

Start date: Nov 1, 2010, End date: Oct 31, 2015,

The household and family structure in every major industrialized country changed in a fundamental way during the last couple of decades. First, marriage is less important today, as divorce, cohabitation, and single-motherhood are much more common. Second, female labor force participation has increased dramatically. As a result of these changes, today s households are very far from traditional brea ...

An early stage training network in enabling technologies for GREEN radio (GREENET)

Start date: Jan 1, 2011, End date: Dec 31, 2014,

Current 4G vision envisages higher data rates and multi standard radio interfaces to provide all users with a continuous seamless connection. The large number of foreseen devices coupled with the surge in power requirements for future emerging handsets raises significant challenges in terms of: i) reducing the energy consumption; and ii) reducing the amount of electromagnetic radiations.GREENET ta ...

Advanced coexistence technologies for radio optimisation in licensed and unlicensed spectrum (ACROPOLIS)

Start date: Oct 1, 2010, End date: Dec 31, 2013,

Wireless communications, perpetually a source of innovation, is entering new and uncharted territory. In order to enhance system performance and cater for the services and applications of the future, there is the need for cooperative and cognitive communications paradigms that support advanced coexistence technologies for radio optimization. In short, wireless communications is moving towards a di ...

EXpAnding LTE for Devices (EXALTED)

Start date: Sep 1, 2010, End date: Feb 28, 2013,

The number of networked humans will reach saturation by the middle of the next decade, while the number of networked devices will continue to increase dramatically for some time to come. The Wireless World Research Forum (WWRF) has set out a vision of the future where 7 trillion wireless devices will be serving 7 billion people by 2017. The vast majority of wireless traffic will be between machine ...

Physical layer for dynamic spectrum access and cognitive radio (PHYDYAS)

Start date: Jan 1, 2008, End date: Oct 31, 2010,

PHYDYAS proposes an advanced physical layer, using filter bank-based multicarrier (FBMC) transmission, for the new concepts in radiocommunications: dynamic access spectrum management (DASM) and cognitive radio. It shows that the performance and operational flexibility of systems are enhanced by exploiting the spectral efficiency of filter banks and the independence of sub-channels. Combining wit ...

Design and Versatile implementation of nonbinary wireless communications based on innovative LDPC codes (DaVinci)

Start date: Jan 1, 2008, End date: Jun 30, 2010,

The DaVinci project aims at developing new technologies targeting future B3G or 4G wireless broadband transmission systems such as IEEE 802.16e/m, or 3GPP-LTE. It is well known that the increase in data rate and heterogeneous transport in wireless networks demands very efficient coding schemes, coupled with adaptive resource allocation strategies. Beside the recent progress made these last 15 year ...
