We present a comprehensive scientific and technical update of the Swiss customization of United States Geological Survey ShakeMap, in use at the Swiss Seismological Service since 2007. The new Swiss ShakeMaps are based on predictive equations for peak ground-motions and response spectra derived from stochastic simulations tailored to Swiss seismicity. Using synthetics allows overcoming th…

We describe the spectrum of certain integration operators acting on generalized Fock spaces.

Colleges and universities need to provide students with training and experience in (a) interdisciplinary research, (b) the fuzzy areas of responsible conduct of research, and (c) the mentor–mentee relationship. We developed workshops that combine the three content objectives— interdisciplinary research, responsible conduct of research, and mentor–mentee relationship, therefore promoting e…

There is a strong consensus in the experimental literature according to which women are more risk averse than men. However, new evidence reveals that only a tiny fraction of the replications of the Holt and Laury (2002) risk elicitation task displays gender differences. This striking distance between the consensus and the data gathered with this elicitation method provides a clean test of the p…

Using data from the Standard Eurobarometer survey 75.1 of 2011, the paper tests whether portability of social security within Europe is a key determinant of intra- European Union (EU) mobility. It does so by estimating a multinomial logit model with propensity matching comparing those survey respondents that made the experience of social security transfer in the past (either difficult or ea…
