Aid, growth and decentralization [PDF]

This paper examines whether the federal structure of aid-receiving countries matters in explaining aid effectiveness. Following the decentralization theorem, the devolution of powers should increase aid effectiveness, since local decision-makers are ...

Equilibrium Propagation for Dissipative Dynamics

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This work develops local learning rules for damped linear dynamical systems, including mechanical structures and resistor‐inductor‐capacitor (RLC) circuits, by leveraging an effective action formulation. It demonstrates how physical systems can autonomously compute gradients and learn temporal patterns, enabling applications such as sound ...

Atomic‐Scale Understanding of Selectivity Control in Nitrate Reduction on Cu(100) Under Acidic and Alkaline Conditions

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
A combination of ab initio molecular dynamics simulations and density functional theory calculations clarifies the pH‐dependent origin of the selectivity of nitrate reduction on Cu(100). ABSTRACT We investigate the nitrate reduction reaction (NO3 RR) on the Cu(100) surface using grand‐canonical density functional theory (GC‐DFT) under constant ...

Revisiting the “Decentralization Theorem” – On the Role of Externalities [PDF]

The “Decentralization Theorem” (Oates, 1972) is central to the discussion of fiscal federalism. We revisit the role of consumption spillovers in evaluating the merits of (de)centralization. Unlike the general prediction, a higher degree of spillovers may

Artificial Intelligence in Autonomous Mobile Robot Navigation: From Classical Approaches to Intelligent Adaptation

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Artificial intelligence (AI) is reshaping autonomous mobile robot navigation beyond classical pipelines. This review analyzes how AI techniques are integrated into core navigation tasks, including path planning and control, localization and mapping, perception, and context‐aware decision‐making. Learning‐based, probabilistic, and soft‐computing methods

DECENTRALIZATION´S EFFECTS ON EDUCATIONAL OUTCOMES IN BOLIVIA AND COLOMBIA [PDF]

The effects of decentralization on public sector outputs is much debated but little agreed upon. This paper compares the remarkable case of Bolivia with the more complex case of Colombia to explore decentralization´s effects on public education outcomes.
