Quantifying Demand Shocks in the Green and Digital Transition
Andrea Bastianin, Luca Rossini, Marco Zoso
We use web search data to construct monthly indexes of derived demand for cobalt, copper, and nickel, which are key inputs in technologies driving the energy and digital transition…
A Real-Time Framework for Forecasting Metal Prices
Andrea Bastianin, Luca Rossini, Lorenzo Tonni
This paper develops a real-time forecasting framework for the monthly real prices of four key industrial metals -- aluminum, copper, nickel, and zinc -- whose demand is rising due…
Future Circular Collider Feasibility Study Report: Volume 2, Accelerators, Technical Infrastructure and Safety
M. Benedikt, F. Zimmermann, B. Auchmann +1461
In response to the 2020 Update of the European Strategy for Particle Physics, the Future Circular Collider (FCC) Feasibility Study was launched as an international collaboration ho…
Future Circular Collider Feasibility Study Report: Volume 3, Civil Engineering, Implementation and Sustainability
M. Benedikt, F. Zimmermann, B. Auchmann +1461
Volume 3 of the FCC Feasibility Report presents studies related to civil engineering, the development of a project implementation scenario, and environmental and sustainability asp…
Future Circular Collider Feasibility Study Report: Volume 1, Physics, Experiments, Detectors
M. Benedikt, F. Zimmermann, B. Auchmann +1461
Volume 1 of the FCC Feasibility Report presents an overview of the physics case, experimental programme, and detector concepts for the Future Circular Collider (FCC). This volume o…
Forecasting the Volatility of Energy Transition Metals
Andrea Bastianin, Xiao Li, Luqman Shamsudin
The transition to a cleaner energy mix, essential for achieving net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050, will significantly increase demand for metals critical to renewable energ…
Macroeconomic Spillovers of Weather Shocks across U.S. States
Emanuele Bacchiocchi, Andrea Bastianin, Graziano Moramarco
We estimate the short-run effects of weather-related disasters on local economic activity and cross-border spillovers that operate through economic linkages between U.S. states. To…
Partially identified heteroskedastic SVARs
Emanuele Bacchiocchi, Andrea Bastianin, Toru Kitagawa +1
This paper studies the identification of Structural Vector Autoregressions (SVARs) exploiting a break in the variances of the structural shocks. Point-identification for this class…
Forecasting the Price of Carbon with Macroeconomic and Financial variables
Andrea Bastianin, Elisabetta Mirto, Yan Qin +1
We tackle the issue of producing point, sign, and density forecasts for the monthly real price of carbon in the European Union Emissions Trading System (EU ETS). We show that Bayes…
Technological Learning and Innovation Gestation Lags at the Frontier of Science: from CERN Procurement to Patent
Andrea Bastianin, Paolo Castelnovo, Massimo Florio +1
This paper contributes to the literature on the impact of Big Science Centres on technological innovation. We exploit a unique dataset with information on CERN's procurement orders…
How does stock market volatility react to oil shocks?
Andrea Bastianin, Matteo Manera
We study the impact of oil price shocks on the U.S. stock market volatility. We jointly analyze three different structural oil market shocks (i.e., aggregate demand, oil supply, an…
Evaluating regulatory reform of network industries: a survey of empirical models based on categorical proxies
Andrea Bastianin, Paolo Castelnovo, Massimo Florio
Proxies for regulatory reforms based on categorical variables are increasingly used in empirical evaluation models. We surveyed 63 studies that rely on such indices to analyze the…
Statistical and Economic Evaluation of Time Series Models for Forecasting Arrivals at Call Centers
Andrea Bastianin, Marzio Galeotti, Matteo Manera
Call centers' managers are interested in obtaining accurate point and distributional forecasts of call arrivals in order to achieve an optimal balance between service quality and o…
The socio-economic impact of a breakthrough in the particle accelerators' technology: a research agenda
Massimo Florio, Andrea Bastianin, Paolo Castelnovo
Preliminary evidence on the long--run trajectory of the accelerator industry suggests that it may be close to the maturity phase of its cycle. If this is the case, how can we measu…
Structural analysis with mixed-frequency data: A MIDAS-SVAR model of US capital flows
Emanuele Bacchiocchi, Andrea Bastianin, Alessandro Missale +1
We develop a new VAR model for structural analysis with mixed-frequency data. The MIDAS-SVAR model allows to identify structural dynamic links exploiting the information contained…
