• Negative monetary policy rates and systemic banks' risk‐taking: evidence from the euro area securities register

  Bubeck, Johannes; Maddaloni, Angela; Peydró, José-Luis (Wiley, 2020)

  Maynou Pujolràs, Laia; Sáez i Zafra, Marc; López i Casasnovas, Guillem (BMJ Publishing Group, 2016)

  Background There is considerable evidence demonstrating socioeconomic inequalities in mortality, some of which focuses on intraurban inequalities. However, all the studies assume that the spatial variation of inequalities ...
• It is Hobbes, not Rousseau: an experiment on voting and redistribution

  Cabrales, Antonio; Nagel, Rosemarie; Rodríguez Mora, José V. (Springer, 2012)

  We perform an experiment which provides a laboratory replica of some important features of the welfare state. In the experiment, all individuals in a group decide whether to make a costly effort, which produces a random ...
• Country asymmetries, endogenous product choice and the timing of trade liberalization

  Cabrales, Antonio (Elsevier, 2001)

  We analyze the effects of trade liberalization on firms’ decisions and profits in a vertical product differentiation model with countries which have different characteristics. Firms decide product specifications at the ...
• Years of life lost to COVID-19 in 81 countries

  Pifarré Arolas, Hèctor; Acosta, Enrique; López i Casasnovas, Guillem; Lo, Adeline; Nicodemo, Catia; Riffe, Tim; Myrskylä, Mikko (Nature Research, 2021)

  Understanding the mortality impact of COVID-19 requires not only counting the dead, but analyzing how premature the deaths are. We calculate years of life lost (YLL) across 81 countries due to COVID-19 attributable deaths, ...
• A local-time correspondence for stochastic partial differential equations

  Foondun, Mohammud; Khoshnevisan, Davar; Nualart, Eulàlia (American Mathematical Society (AMS), 2011)

  It is frequently the case that a white-noise-driven parabolic and/or hyperbolic stochastic partial differential equation (SPDE) can have random-field solutions only in spatial dimension one. Here we show that in many cases, ...
• On the density of systems of non-linear spatially homogeneous SPDEs

  Nualart, Eulàlia (Taylor & Francis, 2012)

  In this paper, we consider a system of k second-order nonlinear stochastic partial differential equations with spatial dimension , driven by a q-dimensional Gaussian noise, which is white in time and with some spatially ...
• Existence and regularity of the density for solutions to semilinear dissipative parabolic SPDEs

  Marinelli, Carlo; Nualart, Eulàlia; Quer-Sardanyons, Lluís (Springer, 2013)

  We prove existence and smoothness of the density of the solution to a nonlinear stochastic heat equation on L2(O) (evaluated at fixed points in time and space), where O is an open bounded domain in ℝd with smooth boundary. ...

  Background: The primary care service in Catalonia has operated an asynchronous teleconsulting service between GPs and patients since 2015 (eConsulta), which has generated some 500,000 messages. New developments in big ...
• Health inequalities in the European Union: an empirical analysis of the dynamics of regional differences

  Maynou Pujolràs, Laia; Saez, Marc; Bacaria, Jordi; López i Casasnovas, Guillem (Springer, 2015)

  In a panel setting, we analyse the speed of (beta) convergence of (cause-specific) mortality and life expectancy at birth in EU countries between 1995 and 2009. Our contribution is threefold. First, in contrast to earlier ...
• Another look at the comparisons of the health systems expenditure indicators

  López i Casasnovas, Guillem; Maynou Pujolràs, Laia; Saez, Marc (Springer, 2015)

  For policy purposes expenditure in health systems of extremely different natures are often compared without having a clear question to be addressed in such a comparison. For instance, comparisons made among OECD countries ...
