Learning normal asymmetry representations for homologous brain structures
(Universidad Torcuato Di Tella, 2023)Although normal homologous brain structures are approximately symmetrical by definition, they also have shape differences due to e.g. natural ageing. On the other hand, neurodegenerative conditions induce their own changes ... -
Liquidity protection versus Moral Hazard: the role of the IMF
(Universidad Torcuato Di Tella. Escuela de Negocios. Centro de Investigaciones en Finanzas (CIF), 2003)This paper develops a simple game between the IMF a county and a set of atomistic private investors. The model is motivated by the case of Argentina. Under reasonable assumptions, the one shot game has no Nash equilibrium ... -
Living and dying with hard pegs: the rise and fall of Argentina's currency board
(Universidad Torcuato Di Tella. Escuela de Negocios. Centro de Investigaciones en Finanzas (CIF), 2003)The rise and fall of Argentina’s currency board illustrates the extent to which the advantages of hard pegs have been overstated. The currency board did provide nominal stability and boosted financial intermediation, at ... -
Macroeconomic coordination and monetary unions in a N-country world: Do all roads lead to Rome?
(Universidad Torcuato Di Tella. Escuela de Negocios. Centro de Investigaciones en Finanzas (CIF), 2002)In Europe, twelve countries have joined a currency union but four have stayed out. The EU enlargement process implies a large set of potential EMU entrants. In Latin America, two countries have recently dollarized and ... -
Mining Reasons For And Against Vaccination From Unstructured Data Using Nichesourcing and AI Data Augmentation
(Universidad Torcuato Di Tella, 2024-06-28)We present Reasons For and Against Vaccination (RFAV), a dataset for predicting reasons for and against vaccination, and scientific authorities used to justify them, annotated through nichesourcing and augmented using GPT4 ... -
Mudding the playing field. Fiscal contributions to municipalities as a political construction
(Governance: An international Journal of Policy, Administration, and InstitutionsWiley, 2023)In federal presidential democracies, discretionary transfers are often mentioned as a tool used by the national executive to build and strengthen subnational support, typically governors. Funds to local mayors, however, ... -
Multiobjective formulation for last-mile optimization in wireless networks
(IEEE2023 XLIX Latin American Computer Conference (CLEI), 2023)Internet of Things (IoT) is a technology that serves as the basis for smart environments. The ever-expanding set of applications that provide intelligence in different scenarios is continually growing and expanding. From ... -
Neglect in human communication : quantifying the cost of cell-phone interruptions in face to face dialogs
(2015-06-03)There is a prevailing belief that interruptions using cellular phones during face to face inter- actions may affect severely how people relate and perceive each other. We set out to deter- mine this cost quantitatively ... -
Neural markers of social and monetary rewards in children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder and autism spectrum disorder
(2016-07-28)Recent theories of decision making propose a shared value-related brain mechanism for encoding monetary and social rewards. We tested this model in children with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), children ... -
Neural processing of emotional facial and semantic xxpressions in euthymic bipolar disorder (BD) and its association with theory of mind (ToM)
(2012-10-08)Background: Adults with bipolar disorder (BD) have cognitive impairments that affect face processing and social cognition. However, it remains unknown whether these deficits in euthymic BD have impaired brain markers of ... -
NORHA: A NORmal Hippocampal Asymmetry Deviation Index Based on One-Class Novelty Detection and 3D Shape Features
(Brain TopographySpringer, 2023)Radiologists routinely analyze hippocampal asymmetries in magnetic resonance (MR) images as a biomarker for neurodegenerative conditions like epilepsy and Alzheimer’s Disease. However, current clinical tools rely on either ... -
Nudging cooperation in a crowd experiment
(2016-01-21)We examine the hypothesis that driven by a competition heuristic, people don't even reflect or consider whether a cooperation strategy may be better. As a paradigmatic example of this behavior we propose the zero-sum ... -
On the endogeneity of exchange rate regimes
(Universidad Torcuato Di Tella. Escuela de Negocios. Centro de Investigaciones en Finanzas (CIF), 2002)The literature has identified at least five approaches to the determinants of the choice of exchange rate regimes: i) optimal currency area theory; ii) exchange rate policy and the absortion of real and nominal shocks; ... -
Optimal Carbon Offsets with Heterogeneous Regions
(Universidad Torcuato Di Tella, 2024-02-08)We study optimal climate policy in a global economy where regions differ in wealth and vulnerability to climate change. Carbon emissions from production generate out- put losses - a negative climate externality - and a ... -
Organization of brain networks governed by long-range connections index autistic traits in the general population
(2013-06-27)Background: The dimensional approach to autism spectrum disorder (ASD) considers ASD as the extreme of a dimension traversing through the entire population. We explored the potential utility of electroencephalography (EEG) ... -
Outcome context-dependence is not WEIRD: Comparing reinforcementand description- based economic preference worldwide
(Universidad Torcuato Di Tella, 2023-03-02)Recent evidence indicates that reward value encoding in humans is highly context-dependent, leading to suboptimal decisions in some cases. But whether this computational constraint on valuation is a shared feature of human ... -
Parsing a cognitive task : a characterization of the mind’s bottleneck
(2005-02-08)Parsing a mental operation into components, characterizing the parallel or serial nature of this flow, and understanding what each process ultimately contributes to response time are fundamental questions in cognitive ... -
Partisanship predicts COVID-19 vaccine brand preference: the case of Argentina
(Humanities and Social Sciences Communications (Humanit Soc Sci Commun) ISSN 2662-9992 (online), 2023)The COVID-19 pandemic underscored the significance of overcoming vaccine adoption resistance and addressing real and perceived barriers for efficient vaccination campaigns. One major problem faced by health systems around ... -
Partisanship Predicts COVID-19 Vaccine Brand Preference: The Insightful Case of Argentina
(2022)The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the importance of not only diminishing the resistance to vaccine adoption in general, but also to reduce both real and perceived barriers to a swift vaccination campaign. One major problem ... -
Peer tutoring of computer programming increases exploratory behavior in children
(Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 2022)There is growing interest in teaching computer science and programming skills in schools. Here we investigated the efficacy of peer tutoring, which is known to be a useful educational resource in other domains but never ...
